There's this store in Cleveland called Big Fun where they sell 80's memorabilia like stuff from your favorite tv shows of the 80's & anything that came out in the 80's. I would like some 80's collector's items stuff. I remember i used to have a Dukes Of Hazzard blanket, Knight Rider bigwheel, Arnold Schwarzenegger Commando action figure, Rambo action figure, Michael Jackson toy where he had on that outfit he wore to the American Music Awards in 84. I wish i would've kept those things when i got older cause they would've been worth a lot of money today but u know we as kids don't think about those things when we're little. Do u guys have any collector's items from the 80's? I also wish i had the game Simon when i was a kid. I never got that for christmas. Remember Simon had different colors such as red, green, yellow & when u would hit one of them, it would light up? How do u play Simon?

I still have my Cabbage Patch Doll that I got in 84 or 85. His name is Keith and he has on a sailor outfit. I still have a Rubiks Cube a Pound Puppy and a whole bunch of those Garbage Pail Kids trading cards. My mom still has our Trivial Pursuit game somewhere around the house as well as an Atari 2600.
I also remember the Simon game. My mom may still have that somewhere around her house too. That game was like follow the leader. Whatever Simon did you had to do or else you would lose the game. Like if the red button lit up, you would have to press the red button. If you got that right another button would light up and you would have to keep memorizing whatever Simon did and do the same thing.

I've got a bunch of stuff laying around from the 70s and 80s, but the one thing (s) i wanted that i never dared ask for (they were about $50) were those little video games that were shaped like the giant arcade consoles. I had this vision of collecting them all and having my own right on mini-arcade in my room. There was pac man, donkey kong, and qbert - i dont remember whatelse. Now, of course, we all have the gameboy (advance).

OMG. You are talking to the QUEEN....okay, not really...of 80's stuff. I STILL have a TON of my toys I had back in the 80's. I still have all My Little Ponies, my Barbies, my Happy Meals (MOST of them...We sold off A FEW), and a LOT of Fisher Price crap. OMG. I could do my room like a museum. I STILL have my Scrooge McDuck plushie from 1988 and my Chip (from Chip 'n Dale, Rescue Rangers) plushie from 1989. I had a TON more I can't think of right now, but they're currently all away in storage until I get older and get my own place to display all my stuff.

Boy, am I glad I saved my toys from the 80's!

I have some stuff yet. Care Bears, my 'Slumber Bear' that talks when you squeeze it's tummy, Spinal Tap cards and posters, random Happy Meal toys, board games....

As to how you play Simon, it flashes a sequence of lights that you have to memorize for as long as you can.

WWF...Oh god.

Are they even around anymore?

I remember them SOOOOOOOOOO well. I remember Hulk Hogan VERY vividly in the 80's. He was the blonde guy who always had that look on his face as he was ripping off his yellow top.

I used to have WWF wrestling men when i was a kid & i had the wrestling ring. I used to have Hulk Hogan, Junk Yard Dog, Hillbilly Jim, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Big John Studd. I always wanted Jimmy Superfly Snooka, King Kong Bundy, Andre The Giant, Iron Sheik, Ultimate Warrior, Hart Foundation. My uncle bought his son the entire WWF collection when he was a kid & he bought him WWF small wrestling men that had the hole in the back of them so u could put your thumb in their backs LOL.
