Two creators of Candy Candy had a nasty legal disputes that started in the late 1990s and lasted for years. The dispute had a great deal in Candy Candy not being marketed vigorously for years. I don't think there has been an official release of the English version of Candy Candy, which is a shame. Candy Candy was released in DVD in France and Korea though. http://www.hanbooks.com/cacaanr10dvd.html The Korean box set looks beautiful. It's too bad that there's no English subtitle available on the set. There are DVDs of Candy Candy in Italian and Spanish floating around also but I don't think they are an official release.

I'm an ex-smoker too. I stopped because of my fiancee and of course also for my own sake too. I made a promise and that's the promise I intend to keep...been smoke-free since the start of January... ( I smoke a bit when we're drinking though, but I drink very rarely these days).
Yeah, candy and all that unhealthy stuff --- who wouldn't like them? It's all good though as long as you remember to keep things in good balance. I keep myself in shape by going to gym, jogging and swimming so I feel I can eat candy, chocolate, snacks and whatever once a week at least while watching a good movie.

On one such trip many years ago, alongside the obligatory dulce de leche, I had the good fortune to taste Häagen-Dazs's coconut gelato. As far as I know, that dessert is no longer being made! But I got to taste it, and if ever there were a frozen dessert in stores better than the dulce de leche, that was it! It was exquisite. So unbelievably creamy and delicious. I will never get to taste it again. You darn Americans should have bought more of it, and kept the production going! GRR. |

Oh gods, I would love to live on this, but they don't sell it in shops here. Only in the Häagen Dasz parlors. But they have this in stores. However, to have it be perfect, I would also need this and the above mentioned. I still love 80s cartoons, too. He-Man for President! I love Playmobil to this day. I even bought the big Viking ship this summer! I'm also working on some customs. I have several My Little Ponies standing by my computer. Two real ones, and two fakes. The two fakes I have called Charon (The yellow pegasicorn with the turqoise hair) and Styx (the pink one, with the even more pink hair). I think I am going to customise them too. I love my plushie toys! My mother doesn't really let me collect them, but if I find a dragon plushie or any other very special plushie, I still buy it. *cuddles* And I...*sobs*...no, I can't say it. "*puts an arm around shoulders* There there. Take your time mommy." Okay...I...I have a collection of postal stamps! There, I've said it. You'll probably all shun me now. I'll post more once I remember them. -

I can't think of any particularly guilty pleasures that I have. I buy far too many video games, but that's probably not too unusual for this kind of site. Okay, I lie. I basically live on chocolate. |

According to rusty memories I also had: Quetzalcoatlus (with Yungstar!), Pterodactyl (with Llahd!), the Stego (nice armor!), Pachycephalo, Toro (AWESOME armor! Got this in my 10th birthday, I've still got the pictures I took of him that day when he went for a walk across our couch, seriously) and probably one or two other of the smaller ones... I think my brother had a few too. And a friend had the T-Rex, the beautiful Dipolodctus (awwww!). I even kept the boxes, since the box art just kicked mighty butt. Good times! I also had the Playmobile pirate ship (and Castle Greyskull of course ), and this was years before Monkey Island came to be.

Okay, let's see...
I've started using stevia, and I've still been consuming more sugar than I should be. |

Do you have Haagen-Daz's Mayan Chocolate? It's a really good chocolate and cinammon mixture. |

Okay, I think I should be a bit more thorough than that...
Nutella. It's the best shit ever invented. It's too good to waste on bread, or on pretty much anything it can be smeared on. I wish I had some right now. Staying up late. Really late, without much reason. I'm trying to get over that. Nutella. It should come in six packs. Tea, lady grey. Did I mention nutella? |

No, no Mayan Chocolate on sale here. I'm not even sure they sell that in the parlours here. -

Anyway, the biggest toy I ever got was Metroplex! That was the best birthday ever... And finally, the only bad habit I have is smoking! I don't smoke as much as I used to, but when I go out (sometimes 3 times a week ) I smoke way too much! It's like one beer --> 1 sigarette. I really have to cut back!

The biggest toys I ever got were two different Barbie carriages (the on with the white horse that had purple highlights for some reason, and the picnic one with the horse that could walk), as well as the wine coloured cabriolet car.
In retrospect, I feel a bit cheated by that, as those gradually desintegrated as you played with them. And I didn't even play very rough with them. Hells, I never even tortured my Barbies like so many girls do at one stage! -

Well, I feel constantly guilty about spending "valuable" time on computer games.
So I try to remind myself that something that is enjoyed can't be a waste of time. Try as I may, it doesn't quite take. Now I haven't given myself the time to play in months, so what do I do? Instead of starting a game I enter this forum, which makes me feel guilty for not playing anything from the stack of uninstalled games I've got next to me. But surely I must be getting some pleasure out of it, or I wouldn't still be here? Would I? |

Hah haa! I also had Castle Greyskull, but I have no idea where it is these days...

WOW that is a large collection. Have you had all that since you were a kid? Or have you bought stuff through the years, because you didn't save it from your childhood?

No, as a child I only had like 4 Masters Of The Universe figures, and a couple of vehicles. I started collecting a couple of years ago, mostly because of nostalgia, and now I can get every figure I couldn´t have as a child!

I'm Dutch and I've never even heard of Candy Candy. I searched for it in Google and it seems very... sweet. I know where you come from Bobske; when I was a kid, 37 years ago, I was hooked on the Fabeltjeskrant.
The only guilty pleasure I can think of is lying in bed with my laptop for more than an hour every morning. |
