did any y'all ever replace the webbing in one of these?  my folks bought a roll of webbing material, planning to do our whole set (of two--- my brother and I had to sit on the ground), but only did one because it was such a PITA.  by the time the webbing went bad, the rivets were all shot anyway.   just the whole thought process was diferent, back then.  seems like we just throw everything away, now.

 

I looked forward to projects like that because it meant spending time with my dad repairing things. Good life lessons.

I still have 2 or 3 dozen of these:

Last I checked, I think they were worth $0.02 each.

YES!  One of my favorite Christmas presents ever....played the crap out of this game when it came out. Too bad it would cost me 300+ to buy on the market today.

Lots of fun playing this game as a kid, although the rubber bands consistently broke.  I had completely forgotten about this!  Thanks!

I got the elephant rifle for Christmas when I was knee-high to a junebug. It was the most awesome thing I had ever owned...perhaps sill is. A couple fo days later I took it with me to grandma's house a couple of hours from home for the family holiday visit. It disappeared. Just as we were leaving the little shithead cousins ran up with it, it was covered it paint, an awful blueberry puke color, with no rhyme nor reason. They said, "we painted it for you!" Heartsick to the bone, I swallowed my crushing disappointment and replied, "you can have it." They were stoked.

I cried in the back seat of the car for half the trip, then my soul just died. There was no justice to be had, no retribution, no apologies offered, no sympathy. They destroyed my favorite thing in the world, and nobody gave a fuck.

It was perhaps the most traumatic event of my life, completely destroying my trust in human beings.

Anyway, TMI. That's probably the main reason I became an asshole.

I had so many of those action figures. Ended up selling them all and made enough to buy a NES with the robot.

I had that matching Cowboys NFL hat and jacket. Matched my blue toughskins perfectly.

We would tape a nail in the front and razor blades along the side of the wings, then go have kite fights.  Nothing like a kite with 6 razor blades on it whipping around doing loops.  You learned how to launch it by yourself real quick. 

[PencilPusher 454]

I'll see your NFL jackets and raise you this:

 

Loved the NFL Sheets as a kid.....of course I had a roommate after college that was sporting a more modern version of this on his bed....we were out drinking one night and he was lamenting his lack of action in said sheets.....to which another friends girl goes....."no self respecting woman is getting it on with someone in a bed with NFL sheets".....said sheets disappeared shortly thereafter.

[Cheeseweasel 26439]

Had that same cover. I'm guessing we all got it from the Sears Catalog?

[Underdog 29095]

My mom used to do all my Cowboys stuff through Sears catalog.  She was pissed when I lost one of my Cowboys mittens in a car bumper while bumper sledding one winter.

The ABA was a lot of fun to watch and for some reason I was a big fan of Zelmo Beaty of the Utah Stars.

It was fun until you happened to fly said kites into the power lines. On accident, of course.
