I know exactly the ones you're talking about - they weren't like lego etc and made out of bricks but out of whole modular components you could put together to make different space vehicles. They had little transparent canopies on the cockpits and there was definitely a drill tank type thing. I have the impression that they weren't based off any show or made by one particular brand and they were fairly cheap. You'd buy a blister pack with a bunch of different bits in it.

e: These things!

That's exactly what I thought he was talking about, I had that mac one I think that's what the drill and the tank tracks came with. I couldn't recall the name of them though I think they were just some cheap Chinese brand I think kinda like a poormans Manta Force.

edit: I've found out the name of them: MULTIMAC :tipshat:

Cheers. Even with the name there's not a lot on Google about it, so I guess it was a lot more obscure than I thought.

You get quite a lot of hits if you put the word toys at the end of your search result otherwise you just end up with a ton of car seats for babies.

Ahh the 90s when Dance, Goth, and Rap were all the same genre:

Nothing quite like that brief moment in time when novelty hardcore/gabber tracks were in vogue hereabouts.

Those were the, uh, days. Maybe.

I dont recall any of that I do remember Happy Hardcore though.

Here's something I posted in the other '90s thread:

As a Brit I've never seen an ad for Piggly Wiggly or even heard of that brand until today. Perhaps you saw it on Tarrant on TV?
