Fondly remember the space age Technic stuff of the 80's and 90's. Car's, trucks, construction equipment. Lots of pneumatically controlled construction equipment, before they started using small motors.

I think my favourite was always this one...

I think it was either $119 or $199 back at that time. I saved hard for it. Birthday, christmas, chores... Whatever needed to be done.
I remember I came to Perth from Sydney for dads funeral, so January 1986, my nephew would of been 11 years old and I remember the price was $35 bucks, I know that because my niece said I spent more on my nephews present than hers, can't give one without the other, I remember slinging her $6 bucks, I think her toy was $29 bucks, could of been a Cabbage a patch Doll,.
