Do you remember what toys you liked most as a kid?

I still love a ball. Nothing like chasing after one on a sandy beach or freshly cut grass!

I loved Tech-Decks. Really good dexterity exercise.

No dirty stick with peeling bark? what kind of mutt are ya? (sigh)

Erector set. Best toy I ever had.

1960s erector set at DuckDuckGo

My farm set. It had a silo with a working conveyor belt to carry the grain up into the silo and everything else a farmer would need.
And my bicycle.

I still bike & trike.

A rocking horse that had wheels on it, so you moved forward with each rock. My parents decided I was too old for it and gave it to my cousin.

Was that when you were 21?

Lego. Spent hours of imaginative play using it.

I was probably about 4 when they took it away. And they gave my genuine Star Wars light saber to my cousin too!

Erector set. The one with the motor.

I made exoskeletons from the erector sets for my GI Joes...they were 12-inches tall back in those days. I can't imagine where I got the idea of exoskeletons from 'way back then.

I liked those GI Joes a lot, too, but I had to use a brown magic marker to make them "representational."

Legos, Girders and Panels, and I'd race my Hot Wheels through tunnels and buildings.

I loved my Hornby train set

I recall having a plastic trike that looked like a motor bike, it eventually wore down and couldn't move.

There was some he-man and this stuff called slime.

Had some hot wheels and a loopy course for it to ride on. I remembered this courtesy of the "barf" car that wouldn't move.

I had American Flyer train. But I really liked building models, really life long since 8yo, with a break here and there. I'm 71 now.

Lego wasn't around when I was a kid but I have spent many, many funfilled hours playing with them now with my grandkids.

There were several board games that I really liked and that I spent hours playing with friends and family: "Life", "Careers", and a game called "Happiness" that was full of those bright 1970s colors.

And I liked the classic building toys: Tinkertoys and Lego. I still like to build with Legos.

They brought that size back in the 1990s (and they were more "representational," too).

GI Joe Heads

The original Karza was awesome; none of that "safety first" stuff - Karza's chest missile could definitely put an eye out lol


Yeah, just watched the review after the guy fired it @3:07 "this is pretty vicious... I'm probably going to get hit if I fire this... ok I have no idea where that went... it's fired off across the room" *rotfl*
