1. Ok, have you been shopping for these, or did you spot them

by accident? Hard to believe that a business would have actually manufactured those things.

[SoCalDem]

3. We bought them at Sears in 1976.. price sticker's still there

:)

[Lady Effingbroke]

2. Wow! An amazingly pristine set of jarts!

No blood or anything!

Uh...$25? (I'm poor, it's the best I can do!:blush:)

[SoCalDem]

5. We cleaned off the blood before i took the pictures

Seriously... when my boys were younger they actually thought I would let them play with these.. My husband hid them in the rafters of the garage so they would not spear each other:)

a poster on another thread reminded me to look for them and photo them.. I am interested in selling them, if the "price is right".:)

4. Dayum, still in the original box

Me wants me wants.

6. we played with these as kids

my brother wants a set.

i was pretty good.

[SoCalDem]

7. Wow.. Ebay has a set with a torn handle for $145.00

I wonder what other obsolete toys we have in the rafters:)

26. I told you those things

are gold.They always broke after awhile so there aren't alot of them left,and the new ones are just lame!

8. Oh, MAN! I need a set of those for FUNDAY!!

Alcohol served up in, um, liberal doses AND steel-tipped missiles! What could possibly go wrong?
John
It is now 326 days, ten hours and 55 minutes to FUNDAY. Bring a helmet and some body armor.

9. You need a bonfire too

so someone can fall in!

[5thGenDemocrat]

10. Say, that's another good idea!

I wonder if it'll go over as well as the "Poke the Neighbor's Dog With a Sharp Stick" game we had a couple of years ago?
John
Down, boy!! And don't forget to check out the pictures at the link provided below.

11. Don't forget the archery set, and the slip 'n slide..

adult bones combined with booze & wet plastic should make for some great "action shots"..and a rainbow of casts & splints:)

20. You forgot about Twister.

I sprained my ankle once playing that game. Twister, adults and alcohol do not mix.

[SoCalDem]

22. That's WHY they "invented" it..

:evilgrin:

[xmas74]

23. Gotta wonder.

They should include a bottle of Mad Dog and another bottle of baby oil to make the game complete.

12. Can those be used to inflict pain unto relatives?

:shrug:

Blood is a bonus.

13. Jarts.........the fun game until.....

one gets stuck in your head. They belong in the Museum of Killer Toys.
We played with them when we were kids. :scared:

[SoCalDem]

14. Remember the REAL archery sets??

wooden arrows, real feathers & metal tips?? I caught one of those in my foot once :scared:

[Historic NY]

15. Yup learned real fast when the bow string caught your arm.......

ouch that hurt........

[Hardrada]

25. I bought one of those in 1967

To fool around with. You mean you can't find those anymore?? Guess I haven't looked lately.

[Texasgal]

16. I still have my set!

It even has the blood spatter where on of those jarts pierced me in the foot!

[RPM]

17. my folks still have theirs

JVS and I will be battling for that upon their demise...

[SoCalDem]

18. Easy.. One gets the red darts..the other, blue

Flip for the box :)

[On the Road]

19. The Jart on the Front Cover

appears to have heat-seeking capabilities and is headed directly for the Mom.

[SoCalDem]

21. Eeeeek.. a Tomahawk Jart.. run for your life, Mom

:)

[Gormy Cuss]

24. Any chance Antiques Roadshow is coming to town?

Pristine condition, in the box, banned toy. The heck with e-bay, check with some toy collectors first.
