Weekly Comp - Basilisk Complete Collection - 12/12/10 - FINISHED

Funny you should mention that - I picked up a game very similar to that called Ghost Castle a couple of months ago - you may've seen the post in the horror game thread.

It's pretty good!

Yep, this competition is a lot of fun and in a wierd way, it's getting me in the Christmas spirit! I remember getting a Boglin for Christmas and to be honest, I still think they look pretty cool now...

Never EVER seen a Boglin before. What does it do? :/

Woo! Spread the spirit of Christmas!

To be honest it's pretty much doing it in the picture (ie. not a whole lot!) The small one's were just finger puppets but the bigger ones had (wait for it....) moveable eyes! One year I got a small Boglin for Christmas and then bought a bigger one with my Christmas money - I must've been Boglin potty

I spent hours with my head glued onto that thing which I'm sure mustn't have been good for my eyes (who said that )

I had one of them too - absolutely loved it.

As for another I loved, the SNES Scope - again, logged on too late and too drunk for me to search for images, but will get them all before the end of the week.

Boglin's were great - you got to stick your hand up it and scare any little girls that may be around - although reading that back, that just sounds odd!!

We never got much when we were young, my brother, sister and I. So we were super stunned when one Christmas we had a secret envelope on the tree. We opened it to find a clue, we followed the clue to a present and another envelope. The present contained a NES game and in the envelope was another clue, these continued until we had a collection of like 12 or so games and eventually we found the console hidden under the stairs.
Was the most fun I've had at Christmas ever. A memory that will always be treasured.

Not a toy but this was a Christmas present when I was a little whipper snapper..

My pic is fixed. I've still got my Nintendo, antmumford. Never play it but it still works and I have a couple of games around somewhere.

One Xmas I got a M.A.S.K Boulder Hill set and was delighted, it was this gas station that changed into a excellent hide out for Matt Trakker and the gang!

However better than that was kind of a present as a local toy shop in Glasgow called the Jolly Giant had a contest to win the massive US only GI Joe playset called the USS F.L.A.G.G - now I LOVED GI JOE (called Action Force for a while in the UK) and I entered this contest around Xmas time and I remember finishing school for the holidays and getting a letter saying I'd won it! I played with it for years! YO JOE! (sorry!) Best present ever!

Toys are not what they used to be!
