Jess Ragan #3 Posted March 8, 2005 Yeah, our family owned a metal-sided Coleco swimming pool before my parents decided to cut it up and use the metal while building a chicken coop. JR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ralph3 #4 Posted March 9, 2005 I used to have a Coleco pool also. Had it for many years (5 maybe-which is not bad for a cheap metal pool) and we had to replace the liner and we went to the manufacture/warehouse and get one and they had a small storefront and also sold ColecoVision games there also. And don't forget the original Cabbage Patch Kids were made by Coleco. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+else #6 Posted March 9, 2005 Coleco used to make all kinds of toys back in the '70s & '80s. And they toys they made were generally the cheapest and lowest quality stuff. They were the bottom of the barrel back then -- until the Colecovision came along! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HawgWyld #7 Posted March 10, 2005 And they toys they made were generally the cheapest and lowest quality stuff. They were the bottom of the barrel back then -- until the Colecovision came along! I don't know. Some of those "Head-to-Head" handheld sports games were great. The football variation of those was more fun than a barrel full of brass monkey...

That's the "Easy Bake Expansion Module" for the Colecovision that never caught on. I hear they're pretty rare! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

christianscott27 #12 Posted March 17, 2005 Huh? Does it say Coleco on the back or something? Because it says "Milton Bradley" on the front... nice eye for detail! thats not a pic of mine just something i grabbed online. on mine it says "COLECO POCKETFULS" right where that one says milton bradley. on the back its says made by TOMY for coleco industries inc. and get this - the copyright is well past the arcade crash, its 1987. guess this is like how certain tabletop games came out under several brands: sears/entex, tomy/tandy/grandstand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
