Toys when you were a kid.
The topic of this thread is:
Toys you remember from your younger days that you played or seen or own that you thought was interesting.
This excludes video game systems and handheld games.
For me, one that I played was "CROSSFIRE" where you have two marble guns mounted on each side of the board. The goal of the game is to shoot marbles at the plastic star that was in the middle, and move it to your opponents goal.
One that I've seen that was captivating was the penguin slide. Technically it does nothing but have these penguins go up a stair, and slide all the way back to the line and redo the who process. Stupid yes, but it was fun to look at as a kid.
Re: Toys when you were a kid.
I was a fan of the Batman action figures. I had all of them including the Batmobile and the Jokermobile(yeah it was real, it shot it's teeth out as ammunition). Ah there's far too many toys to mention. I loved Creepy Crawlers, Beanie Babies, Tomagatchi, etc. As for video games I was totally hooked on Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for Sega.
I played with these until Pokemon cards and Playstation came out. Tomb Raider = my life.

Me? Lego.
I loved lego. Had most likely 10s of thousands of pieces.
Once built a tower that was almost 2 stories tall (moved it to my house's stairwell so I could finish it) and it was stable.
Haven't played with it recently (Still have it all), and the last time I did, I made a to scale replica of the Light House at Alexandria for a history project.

I loved my childhood. I had linkin logs, armymen, and of course power rangers. I also had the batman stuff and I can't forget my gundam toys. I loved those. One of my favoutires was this one fighter jet I had that its wings would fold in and out and it made a lot of noises.

the original Lite-Brite! I never used the templates either, f**k that scary clown face. My pegs intermingled with my buddies Lite Brite so I ended up with those off color ones that never matched.

Re: Toys when you were a kid.
I would always get dollies to play with and books because i loved to read, even till now.
i would spend whole of Christmas and sometimes on my birthdays playing with my dolls and reading my books
But the dolls never lasted me long... whenever i got fedup with the dools i would throw them aside to collect dust or bite their heads off! (im not crazy ppl i was a child at the time)
but the books i used to keep
even now i still have one of them in my bookshelf
Re: Toys when you were a kid.
