ABC PLASTIC BLOCKS: I remember these primary colored plastic blocks that opened diagonally. Inside each block was a small plastic green figure-- representing the first letter of that on the block. IE- on the "Q" block there was a tiny queen inside, fox for "F", camel for "C", etc. I played with these during the early 1970's. I found 15 of the small green figures all by themselves in a antique shop in Aurora, OR. Owner had no idea what they were for-- I did. Any idea on who the maker was? Where they might be sold today?
ACTION FIGURE PLAYSET - 1974 - 1978: I remember a certain Playset I had when I was 7-10 years old. mid 1970s That consisted of allot of small men 2-4 inches High. They were either spacemen or explorers. The Mountain set would open up and inside was a base. The set had 5-10 guys all different colored outfits.The men were plastic and there were other vehicles. Could have been a moon set(not Space 1999) around the time the 6 million dollar man came out. I just cant remember the name its been 30 years. But atom men or mega men rings a bell. Any clue on which set I'm talking about could have been Mattel/Kenner etc. This has been racking my brain for years.

GREEN ROBOT DOG TOY: I am looking for a small figurine toy. It is green and Square-shaped. It is only a few inches (if that) tall, and is hard plastic.

Thanks and Regards-- KT
HAND HELD ELECTRONIC GAME - COOKIE MONSTER: At Christmas, possibly 1988, I received a yellow, rectangular hand held, electronic game featuring Cookie Monster. I only remember one game you could play (I'm not sure if there was more than one game) where you had to juggle a ball from hand to hand. You would press the left button to move Cookie Monster's left hand up and bounce the ball to his right hand, where you would then press a right button and bounce the ball to his left hand. I have only been able to find a Cookie Monster Kitchen game, Cookie Monster Crunch, Cookie Monster Munch, and Pass the Ball, all of which aren't it. Pass the ball may be the game, but the products I see in Froogle are round white and have Elmo on the front as well. Please help me find this game! Thank you! Nicole

I know they are still on the market today, but they are now packaged differently. The set I have came with letters & numbers & mathematic operators. What I'm trying to determine is how many if any I'm missing from the set. I know for certain that at least a few of the vowels and consonants came double and all of the numbers came double. Anyway I was just looking for some sort of listing of what the original breakdown of letters, number, and operators was in each set.
MATH TOY: In the late 70's early 80's, I had a hand held electronic game that would help learn math problems. I think it was made by Texas Instruments, it was made of silver colored plastic and was in the shape of a robot. It had many different games to play (addition,subtraction, multiplication and division) and did make sound. Does this ring a bell for anyone??

MCDONALD'S SOFT TOY - MICKEY MOUSE - 2001,: In 2001, I collected a few Disney "soft toys," I have searched EBay repeatedly, but I have never seen another listing like it. I still have it in the bag, so I am not even sure of what melody it plays. Is this a " rare" find," or was that the way Mickey was given out at that time?

MECHANICAL TOY - HORSE RACE: I played with a toy that I believe was from the 1950's or 60's. It was a metal multi-track horse racing game. The point of the game was to line up the metal horses and when the toy was turned on, each individual track would jut back and forth, forcing the horses to slide forward towards the finish line. The metal horses (complete with jockeys) were only about 2 inches tall. The game was noisy but fun. I am trying to track down that game. Does it sound familiar? What is the name of the game? Who made it? Where can I find it? Thank you for any help you may provide. Christy

STUFFED ANIMAL - DOG: In 1980-1985 Toys-R-Us in California had a stuffed dog I bought as a child. He was a golden blonde, to light brown color. Hair was like 1 inch long. His nose was almost like a snot of a real dog without lips. His nose was a different color than his body, lighter blonde no golden, and was short. However he DID have a red tongue at the bottom of his "mouth". He also had a black ball nose and 3 black whiskers on each side, when I purchased it, but a few years later the nose and whiskers fell off. His body was very loose and he did NOT stand or anything like that. He was just a floppy 12 inch dog. His feet were all the same size so if you held his tail, like a 3 inch flat semi round tail, and head you can pretend he is walking. There was a tag on it but I can not remember what it said. But 10 years later at a garage sale in California I found a second one just like him. However before I left a terrible life in the past someone STOLE them and now I am lost without them. I AM WILLING TO PAY FOR SOMEONE TO HELP MY LOOK FOR THEM OR IF SOMEONE HAS THEM I WILL PAY FOR THEM. I AM SO SAD OVER THIS.

TILES AND PEGBOARD TOY: My sister & I had toys we would usually play with when we were sick & confined to bed, one of which was a simple pegboard with these plastic tiles that were of differing shapes--mostly triangles and rectangles, as I recall.

I know it is not Lite Brite, as this toy had no illumination, just the tiles & the pegboard.
