For an image subreddit with fewer restrictions, check out /r/misc!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

It's an old toy sir, but it checks out.

What is it's cargo and destination?

[–]the_one_true_b 3 points4 points ago

Parts and technical crew for grandma's backyard

[–]nettdata 7 points8 points ago

Unknown... but it better be armed with lawn darts.

[–]weewoo92 14 points15 points ago

I was about to clear them.

[–]wjrii 2 points3 points ago

Shall I hold them?

[–]Badgermeister 2 points3 points ago

No. Leave them to me. I will deal with them myself.

[–]katzmandoo 18 points19 points ago

these are not the toys you are looking for

[–]Timibumatay 474 points475 points ago

Looks safe as ever.

Except PCP. That shit is crazy.

[–]andersjoh 140 points141 points ago

Safe enough for sex.

[–]NothingsShocking 58 points59 points ago

Safe sex

[–]TombSv 124 points125 points ago

This is not the sex you are looking for.

[–]SunChipsSombrero 45 points46 points ago

Shoot first

[–]flyvehest 16 points17 points ago

I'm waiting for the edit

[–]shakin 6 points7 points ago

How can a hand shoot first?

[–]stillalone 9 points10 points ago

I know.

[–]trolllmodeengage 3 points4 points ago

Ask her name later

[–]fwywarrior 3 points4 points ago

Seriously shouldn't the legs be connected somewhere in the middle? It seems like the only thing keeping it from folding in the direction of the ladder is the welds or bolts that join the legs to the small tube on the bottom side...at the pivot point! Then of course you also have the swing constantly wrenching on it.

[–]wolfincommand 232 points233 points ago

I think the moss and leaves just make it more authentic.

[–]bw1870 32 points33 points ago

Did they used to package it with leaves and moss?

[–]themythicalpelican 63 points64 points ago

They are fairly common on forest moons...

[–]bw1870 9 points10 points ago

Excellent point.

[–]worldalpha_com 6 points7 points ago

Like it came straight from the movie set!

[–]GitEmSteveDave 4 points5 points ago

As do the slug/sail marks.

[–]chip8222 262 points263 points ago

I will give whoever owns that $1,000 for it.

[–]Wdl884 170 points171 points ago

Seriously? PM me.

[–]Pete_on_Reddit 164 points165 points ago

Let us know if this transaction actually takes place.

[–]knownaim 24 points25 points ago

Op will surely deliver.

[–]PartyBusGaming 32 points33 points ago

No, UPS will deliver. OP is selling it.

[–]Oh_stop_it_you 34 points35 points ago

Hey wait, let me buy that off of you for $100

[–]A---Scott 32 points33 points ago

These things are hard to come by, but the best I can give you is 25.00.

[–]ross-the-sauce-boss 19 points20 points ago

I'll give you $1,001

[–]Ultima34 30 points31 points ago

I'll give you $1,001 and one penny!

[–]oliver_h_really 2 points3 points ago

could get more

[–]katzmandoo 18 points19 points ago

nice try, Pawn Star

[–]GrewUpaScrewUp 13 points14 points ago

best i can do is $25

[–]LivingSaladDays 3 points4 points ago

This is a good item for a die hard collector.. But I'm not a collector.

Everyone: "Hehahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah"

Six bucks.

[–]Oznog99 15 points16 points ago

Many Bothans DIED to bring us this tower!

[–]ASlyGuy 16 points17 points ago

I bid $1, Drew.

[–]batmanila 29 points30 points ago

Drew? Yuck, I feel ill.

[–]verdatum 18 points19 points ago

What, just because he misspelled the word Bob? Sheesh, don't be such a grammar nazi.

[–]bashe 56 points57 points ago

I have a friend who has a couple still in the box. His stepfather has a hardware store and bought them in 1984 and they never sold and he still has them in the warehouse.

edit. He said he did some research a few years ago and found they were extremely rare and in the box were almost impossible to find. He did put one on ebay but it never sold.

[–]pensky_material 29 points30 points ago

That is solid gold. I wonder how much 'those people' would pay for each?

[–]takatori 43 points44 points ago

That guy up higher in the thread will pay $1,000.

[–]NeverPostsJustLurks 6 points7 points ago

$1,000 for an old one that has moss growing on it, probably rust and no working electronics. He'd probably buy you a house for one mint.

[–]theorial 5 points6 points ago

Somebody call the American Pickers.

[–]Jorand 14 points15 points ago

So they can offer him $5 for it?

[–]punxsutawney 9 points10 points ago

Gotta leave some meat on the bone.

[–]kankraka 9 points10 points ago

Ask him what his price is, I am -quite- interested.

[–]takatori 5 points6 points ago

Somebody elsewhere in the comments offered $1,000.

[–]Eudaemons 11 points12 points ago

They are extremely rare to find still in the box and mint condition. It's one of those things that Star Wars collectors are interested in, because of the fact it still has the box.

[–]fiveguy 1 point2 points ago

Your friend should checkout this site called eBay. Or PM people in this thread. He's sitting on gold.

[–]CM816 168 points169 points ago

What a piece of junk!

[–]cleverbastard 171 points172 points ago

She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid

[–]katzmandoo 60 points61 points ago

RAWWWWWR

[–]Furumpus 48 points49 points ago

Laugh it up, fuzzball.

[–]Piscator629 18 points19 points ago

LOOK THERE THEY ARE!!!!

[–]rexx1 12 points13 points ago

DON'T GET COCKY, KID!

[–]supersmax 124 points125 points ago

For some reason this makes me a little sad. Something that once brought joy to children, still earnestly standing there, ready for the next generation of little jedis who won't ever trundle into that part of endor.

Time for a beer and a feelings.

[–]Azzmo 51 points52 points ago

Hit me in the same feel. It's a tangible echo of the past that no longer exists and never can exist again. That particular family and those particular parents' love and dreams for those particular children is over now and it won't come back in that form again.

Things like this are a reminder to enjoy the ride.

[–]north7 31 points32 points ago

Grandkids.

That's why grandparents go crazy for them. Brings them back to when their kids were kids except none of the responsibility.

[–]yoordoengitrong 20 points21 points ago

Grandparenting is like regular parenting only you get to sleep too.

[–]Choralone 9 points10 points ago

Holy hell I can't wait.

[–]brianbrianbrian 8 points9 points ago

I'm gonna go knock up my daughter right now!

[–]bubbafloyd 13 points14 points ago

Don't be gross.... I'll knock her up for you ಠ_ಠ

[–]Azzmo 13 points14 points ago

And a second chance to do some the things that 30 years of wisdom bring to mind. I doubt there's ever been a parent of a 21 year old who didn't think they could have done some things better.

[–]bigolebastard 2 points3 points ago

I was having a good laugh going through these comments until I came upon you Debbie Downer.

[–]ClimbingC 1 point2 points ago

You tried to hard there, and spoiled the moment :(

[–]Alexandur 13 points14 points ago

You should try harder to use words correctly.

[–]Azzmo 5 points6 points ago

How so? I'm open to constructive feedback, even about forum posting :D

[–]b4dkarm4 21 points22 points ago

Oh man, I remember BEGGING my parents to buy me this.

No dice. :(

[–]bretstar 12 points13 points ago

Probably saved your life.

[–]brbrcrbtr 49 points50 points ago

That dog is probably long dead.

[–]wintercast 37 points38 points ago

you know, your comment is odd in that i often will watch old tv shows or movies and think, that dog/cat/horse/animal is dead. I dont even really care about the people. Just that that dog is dead.

[–]ReadMyPosts 6 points7 points ago

Modern picture should have a grave stone next to it.

[–]andersjoh 28 points29 points ago

This is the coolest thing ever! Where can i buy it??

[–]NothingsShocking 51 points52 points ago

you need a hot tub time machine

[–]tunamelts2 22 points23 points ago

where can i buy it??

[–]Eudaemons 23 points24 points ago

you need a TARDIS

[–]Noxrazi 14 points15 points ago

Where can I buy it??

[–]WarriorAscendant 19 points20 points ago

you need a DeLorean

[–]MUSTY_BALLSACK 15 points16 points ago

WHERE THE FUCK CAN I BUY IT?

[–]flyvehest 18 points19 points ago

You need an excellent phonebooth

[–]i_forget_my_userids 5 points6 points ago

Yeah, but where can I buy it???

[–]katzmandoo 3 points4 points ago

you need a wormhole

[–]CompoundClover 5 points6 points ago

You can't. You have to steal it. Or rather, it'll steal you.

[–]MUSTY_BALLSACK 74 points75 points ago

[–]nuinbot 68 points69 points ago

Relevant username.

[–]MUSTY_BALLSACK 63 points64 points ago

I don't get it

EDIT: I get it

[–]furman87 4 points5 points ago

Porn that has been abandoned would be full of musty ballsacks. As though they haven't been used for a while. I don't know. Best guess.

[–]sgtpppr 11 points12 points ago

The wear and tear of nature actually makes this look more like it's on the forest moon of Endor. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want this and I'm 35.

[–]JETEXAS 14 points15 points ago

I think all of us in this thread are 35.

[–]pleasingcolourscheme 38 points39 points ago

Fix it! T'would be the best refurbished toy ever.

[–]yoordoengitrong 12 points13 points ago

what needs fixing here? looks better all weathered than it does on the box...

[–]sweetlee 10 points11 points ago

A console that makes 4 sounds? That's one more than I need. Forget it.

[–]mcmurphy1 10 points11 points ago

I want to go to there.

[–]WPG33 9 points10 points ago

As a huge Star Wars fanatic, I just learned this product existed. Amazing.

[–]MrSelfdizstruct75 10 points11 points ago

WORTH MONEY!!!

[–]98Toyota4Runner 10 points11 points ago

Looking at that picture really makes me want to pressure wash that thing and get it so fresh and so clean.

[–]Mens_Rea91 3 points4 points ago

Holy mother of God, there is no deranged corner of the human mind that is not represented on Reddit.

[–]98Toyota4Runner 2 points3 points ago

Of course this exists. Haha. Thanks!

[–]toinfinitiandbeyond 8 points9 points ago

I'll trade you Solo and the Wookie for it.

[–]raziel1144 6 points7 points ago

does that random comma, bother anyone else

[–]Yodela 5 points6 points ago

Looks even better as it aged.

[–]dirtymuffins23 10 points11 points ago

i wish my parents loved me enough to get me one of those as a child.

[–]whtnonsnse 10 points11 points ago

I used to play on one of these as a kid. Had my first kiss in it. Second grade, her name was Tina, she was a total ho. I will never forget that sweet, sweet swingset

[–]Kjeldoran0 4 points5 points ago

Oh, man, I want that. I would buy that from him in a heartbeat.

[–]tossit22 4 points5 points ago

That was made of high quality materials! I can't believe even the poles have lasted without rusting away!

[–]sccerfrk26 4 points5 points ago

My best friend growing up had one. It was the greatest toy ever created. Dangerous as hell but-oh-so fun. Like a lot of things I guess.

[–]V838_Mon 6 points7 points ago

My buddy growing up had one as well. Countless hours of fun we had on it. Even flirted with a girl for the first time in the tower. I never kissed or had sith with her, though.

[–]garbagemanlb 6 points7 points ago

You never showed her your lightsaber?

[–]realdeal6649 4 points5 points ago

There was a kid that lived two doors down and across the street and this....THIS....was the only reason I played at his house.

[–]CountChugula 4 points5 points ago

I lost my virginity in one of those. Maybe that one.

[–]SirPoop 21 points22 points ago

Reminds me of the deer stand in Day Z

[–]ClimbingC 8 points9 points ago

ARMA 2 you mean....

[–]sherunsguns 7 points8 points ago

power wash that, and offer tours.

[–]TheJBW 18 points19 points ago

Star tours?

[–]Sc_silvah 4 points5 points ago

Copy right of Disney.

[–]NikkoTheGreeko 38 points39 points ago

Paint it camo, instant Deer hunting stand.

[–]HeroBlues 64 points65 points ago

And the Speeder Bike is there in case you need to flee from bears.

[–]s1500 20 points21 points ago

Or need a quick vasectomy from the looks of the bars.

[–]Got_Wilk 29 points30 points ago

Either way bear attack is no longer your primary concern.

[–]NotTheDude 13 points14 points ago

You mean ruin it totally!

[–]big_ass_stunts 0 points1 point ago

Exactly what I thought as soon as I saw it

[–]QuesoSc2 17 points18 points ago

Smokespot

[–]Bikenutt 3 points4 points ago

This thing needs a rescue stat!

[–]Irkala 3 points4 points ago

Oh man, I had one of those growing up and yes it was about as awesome as you'd think. Though I do seem to remember that the speed bike swing had a bunch of moving parts that could pinch fingers of first time riders.

I remember the instillation was a big deal with lots of family coming up to help. I deeply regretted losing access to it when we moved.

[–]snatchinyopeopleup 3 points4 points ago

How is it toy history? Is there something rare about it? My grandmother had one of these she bought for us to play in as well. I loved it. It's still there. If she's sitting on a gold mine I NEED TO KNOW

[–]AudreyBway 7 points8 points ago

In the south, that's a deer stand.

[–]abagofdicks 12 points13 points ago

'Cause only in the south does anyone hunt deer. Or anything for that matter.

[–]Sonic_Broom 12 points13 points ago

Americans love shooting things all over this great land of ours

[–]abagofdicks 3 points4 points ago

Except in the south they love talking about how they're the only ones to do things, more than actually doing them.

[–]dirtymoney 2 points3 points ago

Fuck that guy, my mom wouldnt even get me the Millennium falcon

[–]Tron-Gorf 2 points3 points ago

Echoing faintly on the wind, "pew pew pew".

[–]1337Lulz 0 points1 point ago

Would make a nice deer stand.

[–]notuw 2 points3 points ago

Shit only rich people had.

[–]Anaract 2 points3 points ago

get that damn comma out of there

[–]LouisiAnimal 2 points3 points ago

that's called a deer stand where I'm from...

[–]BrainWav 1 point2 points ago

Holy crap, I've seen the picture of the box, but this is the first time I've seen a picture of it actually assembled.

[–]Kotomm 1 point2 points ago

Have seen the first pic many times, oddly enough this is the first time I have actually seen the actual setup.

[–]pdubdubs 0 points1 point ago

TAKE MY MONEY!!!

[–]Sr_Machete 0 points1 point ago

wtf this existed?! This makes me want to get that pod racer arcade game...it was so sick

[–]blackdutch 0 points1 point ago

I had one as a kid and haven't seen a picture of one in two decades. Those buttons had sound effects, too. But the rain damaged ours pretty quickly. So many happy times.

[–]BrokenMasterpiece 1 point2 points ago

A 4 sound electronic console? Is this from the future?

[–]Always-hungry 0 points1 point ago

Clean it up and make it look cool again, then post it in DIY and get at lot of sweet karma

[–]braq_attack 1 point2 points ago

looks rickety af

[–]Logical_Always 1 point2 points ago

[–]bananabody 1 point2 points ago

I want to go to there

[–]nuinbot 1 point2 points ago

At first I thought this was a screen cap from /r/DayZ. Yeah, my front page is a mess.

[–]GammaLeo 0 points1 point ago

My family had one years ago. Me and my bro played on it until we got to big for it. Had to have it destroyed when the supports started rusting out from under it. Impossible to preserve something like that normally.

[–]ElleCerra 1 point2 points ago

Frank from American Pickers would be on this.

[–]V8titanpwr -1 points0 points ago

I would totally rock this as a hunting stand.

[–]lalondtm -1 points0 points ago

makes a nice tree stand

[–]sllewgh 1 point2 points ago

American Pickers incoming

[–]coderguyagb 1 point2 points ago

On behalf of all 'people of a certain age', i hate you. :-)

[–]Pete_on_Reddit 1 point2 points ago

I would have loved the shit out of that when I was a kid.

[–]blotters 1 point2 points ago

That's a good lookin' dog

[–]Acheronix 1 point2 points ago

Who stole the console!!

[–]speede 0 points1 point ago

A family up the street from me had one of these. It was awe-inspiring to roughly 6-8 year old me.

[–]Beer_Nazi 0 points1 point ago

I have that top photo posted in my office and never thought anyone actually bought one. Very nice.

[–]Stretch82 0 points1 point ago

looks like a prototype of the iron dome israel is using

[–]TrampledEcho 0 points1 point ago

Brilliant toy. Excellent choice, parents!

[–]Lunch3Box 0 points1 point ago

Thing looks kind of flimsy to support that speeder underneath swinging around, but it appears to have held up.

[–]churika 1 point2 points ago

I still have one of these as well

[–]rblue -1 points0 points ago

I wanted that thing so bad when I was a kid.

(That's what she said)

[–]Erimud 0 points1 point ago

It looks even better with weathering- why don't they make these adult sized?

[–]Rielos 0 points1 point ago

OMG! I totally had the speeder on a normal swing-set back in the day! That thing was awesome.

Memories...

[–]guapolvr 0 points1 point ago

yeah, wonder why they stopped making these things?

Best deer stand ever!!

[–]clyder 0 points1 point ago

I had one of those! So much fun was had!

[–]Tulwar77 0 points1 point ago

this must have been the best thing ever =D

[–]mtme 1 point2 points ago

:( brings back so many memories. We always played at that kid's house because he was the only one with a playset. So awesome.

[–]momatt 0 points1 point ago

Looks like a good tree stand to me

[–]Chatonsky 0 points1 point ago

I need one of these...for my future kids.

[–]Nakadai 0 points1 point ago

reminds me of the German bunkers on Normany beach, with stilts !

[–]Flea0 1 point2 points ago

I'm surprised, it actually seems to be the actual size the picture on the ad suggested it would be.

[–]Amsterdom 0 points1 point ago

THAT EXISTED?!?!

my parents must have hated me

[–]JustGodlyEnough 0 points1 point ago

I have one of those! In rather better condition too haha

[–]AmpleReason 0 points1 point ago

Is that kid in inside wearing an rebel helmet or does he have a really bad bowl cut?

So, Leia and Han up in the control tower with Luke on the speeder bike while Chewbacca looks on?

[–]Kickinback32 0 points1 point ago

Can I just say the company was extremely smart, they took a cheap deer stand added a swing sworn cheap shaped plastic and add cheap mold plastic to the top. Then slapped a star wars label on it and probably sold it at 4 times the cost.

[–]Avarra 0 points1 point ago
