Hey guys, I remember classmates in the 2nd grade trading garbage pail kid cards on the school yard before classes started, lol. This is THE quintessential '80s channel by far. It's also work to collect all that 80s decoration and albums for your videos, especially those board games, I wasn't even aware of Top Gun and ET boardgames. I remember MouseTrap, Trouble, Number's Up, Hungry Hippo, Life, Fireball Island. I remember Hugga Bunch

I love how you have all these toys and you didn’t just give it away at a garage sale or something, that you have these toys to look back on and remember. Remember the time you’ve played with it or even purchase it’s actually pretty iconic how you still have some of these popular toys from back them today. I was a beanie baby type of boy I absolutely LOVED them growing up (especially the bears) I was always so hype when I got them.

Remember those light-up yoyos....? Those were cool.... My parents bought me one back in the 1980s at the city fair with one of those toy snakes that have interconnected parts with the different color designs on each interconnected parts.... Well, recently... I was moving things around in my grandma's old garage.... In there, I found my 1980's Teddy Ruskin toy bear... It started talking and stuff on it own for about 20-seconds.... It looks like it is in mint condition.... Around that same time, I found my old Star Wars audio cassette tape.... I played it and it still works and has good sound except the tape covers are all warped.... I lost my E.T. unopened CD with Michael Jackson.... But, I still have all of the E.T. kid books in a few boxes and they are in mint condition....

So, I actually have two or three original Teddy Ruxpin. One isn't working, so he's just for decoration, but one actually does still work. My kids collect the original and new versions of Garbage Pail Kids... when they can find them anyway. My son has an obsession with hot sauces, so he had to have the Garbage Pail Kids hot sauce when it came out. My daughter stole all of my trolls and buys pretty much every single one that she finds. She has one of the bigger ones that you mentioned. I'll have to get a pic of it later to share. We also have a rather extensive collection of California Raisins. I struggle to fight the urge to not buy duplicates of them. If I dig deep enough, I know that I have hundreds of E.T. pins that came on little blue cards. About 10 years ago, I came across this huge bag that had hundreds of them in it for the most amazing price. A friend who owns an antique store asked me how much I'd sell him one of each style. I gave him 5 of them for free, because I had more than I needed. Still do... if I find them. LOL

The other two heart themed bears were Candy Heart and Heartfelt. There were six original bears in the first release and then the three heart themed bears were the second release and the final three. (There were a total of nine Nosy Bears made.) PS. There were also some Nosy Bunnies made.

A heads up for this channel....there is a huge and consistent resurgence of 90's culture happening right now (likely because marketers find it the most reliable culture for selling things). There were at least 100 articles in a quick Google search that did that related to 90's culture (I think last time I checked there were only around 8) and most of them are from the last week. Focus on the 90's has a tendency to drown out the 80's. I know you guys are good at promoting 80's culture, but the overwhelming majority of 80's fans are not. Don't let your peers slow you down! I am a huge promoter of 90's culture and simply call bad promoters out. The bad promoters of 90's culture that I have met are generally: Self-absorbed, selfish, and disconnected from reality

@@Our80sLife I will agree that life nearby you guys was likely very good in the 80's, maybe even the best place to be. For 80's pop culture to be way better....I will certainly disagree with that. I can agree that the 80's had: x Better toys x More original cartoons x That Pizza Hut was a better experience x That 80's dance parties were probably more fun x That there were probably more iconic films x That there was more of a consistent aesthetic I am sure there are other things, but the bad promoters of 80's culture probably succeeded in making them sound awful.
