  One thing I remember is the cons that went on where the toy didn't operate exactly as it did in the advert. You had to press something or do something that they never showed in the advert.

  Funny how the majority of toys are from the 60s and 70s
  
  Clearly shows that it's all games consols now and that actual physical toys are a thing of the past.

  My cousins had just about every 70's/80's toy that I have seen in this programme so far. Spoilt they were.
