Guest jake_cdn Report post Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Seems to be a lot of nostalgia in this forum so I thought that I would throw in one more... What were your favorite toys that you had when you were growning up. List all that come to mind. I had a great time reminising while coming up with mine.

Lowdark 5613 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 Stuff that sparked my imagination that also usually had other media tie ins. Star Wars figures and toys, Transformers, G.I. Joe; I was addicted to that stuff and really wish I had kept them. A lot of it is worth some serious coin these days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katherine of Halifax 113932 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 We had plently of games and toys in our home. The thing we did most was as a family though, we played cards almost every night. As children they were kids games but as we grew we played cribbage and 45's. This tradition remains and when we get together the cards and board will still come out. My sister and I could play cribbage by the time we were seven years old.:icon_smile: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrrnice2 157005 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 Certainly showing my age with this one. When a kid, it was Meccano sets. Girders and braces and nuts and bolts. Another favorite was a small oval Lionel train set. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another favorite was a small oval Lionel train set. I have had a train set for the first time at the age of 12 and I have been adding to it since then until I moved out at my parents house in 1993 and by that time it had gotten big, building bridges with a meccano set and making mountains with "papier mache" etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ottawaadventurer 5114 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 Mind you... i must admit... my favorite kid toy was not a toy at all, but a little (yes, little) appendage between my legs. Once I hit twelve, all the games in the world came second (pardon the pun). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Isabella Gia (Banned) 53881 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 Barbie was my favourite toy I think mostly because I loved buying clothes and shoes for them. Now I do that for myself :) I also spent a lot of time & had so much fun with this ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surf_Nazis_Must_Die 8958 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 A few classics come to mind. I remember laying out epic battles with little plastic army men in my parent's basement :) As well, I have played way too much NES and Sega Genesis over the course of my life! I guess that last one raises the question of whether or not video games can be considered toys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thedriver 6179 Report post Posted March 16, 2011 Hot Wheels and Tonka trucks. The Tonka trucks were a gift from the older boys who lived across the road. They were metal and very beat up but they were new to me and so much fun. A few years ago they went to my nephew. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
