Pogs ? I am from 79, and I never played pogs, I remember on of my cousin that was 5 years younger playing with those. I had the luck of having an uncle that was working for Kenner Parker and Milton Bradley (evrything Star Wars and GI Joe related (including prototypes) and things like the "Action Force" figurines and vehicles (not so sure about the name anymore but they were kind of neat like the GI Joes). That was like having Santa Claus beeing part of your familly.

Oh and M.A.S.K. was the shiz too ! Freaking awesome toys !
