I'm actually in my mid 20's.

I just had a tiger one delivered. My fiance got a dinosaur one. We look like retards. :lol:

I seriously don't get the fascination with them. Apart from the Pikachu ones. They're awesome.

Don't you knock Space Invaders!!!

You'll make an enemy for life! :lol:

biggest fad for me was when the pinball machine fell to space invaders

Good god, I argue with a teenager.

Yeah, they were big for about 2-3 years at my school.

THEY'RE THE SAME THING.

Are onesies a fad now? ](*,)

Really?
What does playing one of the most popular board games in the world as a kid explain exactly?

This was the biggest thing to hit my school surprisingly.

Techdecks, razor scooters.

I don't remember pogs but everyone had Tazos.

Beyblades, Yu-Gi Oh cards (Still have my deck, ended up playing my brother recently :lol:), Digimon handheld devices (still remember being upset when I forgot to feed mine and he died :() were massive back in the day.

Anyone remember Tazos as well? Had tons of Simpsons ones. And those Dragon Ball Z discs that came in chips packets? They were awesome.

But obviously the biggest craze of them all were pogs.

[quote=afromanGT]Beyblades were only a flash in the pan at my school. A couple of months of popularity.[/quote

they were so much fun. No one knew the rules of any of the card games anyway.

Kimberly =p~

No love for Power Rangers or TMNT yet?

Yes! Spent hours and hours on these.
And Crazy bones before them.

This explains soooooo much :lol:

Yu-Gi-Ho and Bayblades :cool:

Then crazy bones, then beyblades, then marbles because everyone carving tracks in the sandstone in the playground.

Scanlens footy cards

:cool:

Fuck yes!

Our school banned anything tradeable or popular at some point. First it was Tazos/Pogs, then it was Pokemon cards, then Tamagotchi/digimon.

It all started with the Simpsons trading card for me, the ones with the bubble gum that took two hours to get into a gum like state and tasted like strawberry flavoured cardboard.

then B'Ball cards. USA Dream team <3

I was pretty apt with a yo-yo, I could walk the dog, do a cat's cradle, Eiffel Tower, around the world and a few others.

Got into the yo-ho Diablo and fire sticks, but that's what you did where I grew up.

after that I found girls. Haven't needed a fad to fill in my days since.

though I am partial to the World cup Sticker sets, I don't consider that a Fad though.

NRL Tazos were huge up here.

NBA cards, USA 94 cards, NFL cards (go Jerry Rice!), turtles (so glad they're back), terminator and voltron. Oh and do they still make matchbox cars? Hotwheels were always so second-rate.

Oh man the curvy brims

I thought this thread was going to be about the candy cigarettes that used to be called Fags :lol:

In primary school we had (in roughly chronological order) marbles, nba cards, pogs/tazos, oddbodz and baseball caps with the brim curved as much as possible.

Crazy bones were massive at my primary school until they got banned.


Around 2000 the pokemon and digimon battle tamagotchi things were also pretty big.
