    I don't know, why would we ban Jarts when there's a number of other things which kill more people every day than Jarts ever did? :chris:

    I used to like to catch the lawn darts. Stand to the side, grab them with swing and a follow-thru. Drove the other players crazy. Yeah, I was a brat.

    The dart can be made from pieces of aluminium or steel rod that is sharpened. The fins can be made from thin plastic sheets or thin plywood. Cut them into a fin shape with slots to put them together, cut some slots into the rod. You've got lawn darts.

    Also, does anyone remember playing with big, plastic black and white police cars? looked like a late 70's Malibu 4 door?

    I still have a couple of my Dad's childhood toys! There's a 1930s Buck Rogers pop-gun that still pops (saw someone asking $500 for one at a show), and this crazyass stamped metal machine gun that shoots out 2" wooden dowels when you crank it.

    Hmm...I've got two full sets in my garage. The hoops are crappy, but all in all everything still works! (Garage sales are you friend when trying to find these!)

    Also, add me to the list of guys who played with the Major Matt Mason toys! I had the Major, my brother had another character plus the Space Bubble. We had some kind of HQ setup thing...lots of fun!

    I'd buy them from you in a second at a VERY good price!
