  • Toys of the past

    When I was knee high to a grasshopper I flew out with my parents to Australia on SIA.

    I remember being given on a flight a games set that included a magnetic chess set, draughts and miniture cards. I can not remember whether this was given on a SIA International or on a domestic QANTAS flight in Australia.

    Has anyone got any pictures or remembers what toys SIA gave the children of the 80s? Even earlier toys would be interesting.

    I also think I have buckleys chance of requesting our friends at SIA to credit my account with elite points for the trip made by my family in the early 80s. Maybe I should write a really nice soppy letter and see what happens. It may get a laugh at the SIA head office. Though they do not seem to be very charitable these days.

    I remember that magnetic chess set they gave in the late 80s/early 90s. I remember it had the old Singapore Airlines fonts.

      mastermind!
      We put labels on people and fight wars over them. If we truly want harmony, we have to get past the labels.

        I've got a masterminds set somewhere at home.

        These things would cost the airline cents and keeps the branding in peoples homes for years (or decades). Why be so short sighted and stop this

        EDIT Here is a picture http://www.tnelson.demon.co.uk/maste...astermind6.jpg

          Cool Mastermind Game

          Cool Mastermind game.

          You are right about branding. Now the airlines help other brands such as Nintendo and Film/Music mompanies with marketing.

              My favourites were the magnetic chess sets which were given out in the '80s / early 90's IIRC...I have 3 different versions at home. My favourite is the combined chess, checker and backgammon sets, of which I have two (unopened)...wonder whether they are worth anything on Ebay?
