1980s toys that will not be reborn

Oh man, FLASHBACK ALERT!
I loved the Ring Raiders as a kid. Not because of the rings - those were bullshit (and easily detachable) - but because back then, it was pretty much the only reliable way to get relatively well-made, cool-looking and most importantly cheap “play-size” miniatures of military jets, at least here in Germany.
The Micro Machines line didn’t get extended until the early 90s, when they started to produce their seriously cool lines of sci-fi/movie tie-in miniatures. But before that, it was either horrible cheap crap, or hobby kits - no middle ground except Ring Raiders.
