The Internet Solves Another Mystery

My wife was cleaning the garage the other day, and gave our son my old Legos. I'm OK with that (now). In the box was some other parts of a construction set that were not Legos.

I remember the pieces - but I couldn't remember the name of the toy. A little Bing searching for 80's toys helped me solve the mystery...

Wow - I remember having all of them - well, the web site states the US got 5 small Zoids in 1983. The price was 4-6 dollars. Aaah, memories.

I also have a new addition...

I'm thinking about getting a personalized license plate with my gamertag.

It's got an engine just slightly larger than a lawnmower, but it gets 40 mpg highway and is as comfortable as I could get it. 360 watt stereo, bluetooth, satellite radio, navigation, leather. My 80 mile commute just got a lot more comfortable. It replaced a 1993 Saturn SC1. Life is good.
