Favorite all time toy as a kid

[macwinlin]

(In order of time spent)

Transformers
G.I. Joe
Voltron (Vehicles version and a small version of the Lions version)
Legos
Hot Wheels/Matchbox
Dukes of Hazzard General Lee cars

I had a few GoBots too, but I never played with them that much compared with the other toys.

Ahhh yes, my legos. I LOVED the space and technic sets. How many of you fellow "children of the late '70s-early '80s" had the HOLY GRAIL of technic sets:

The 956 Auto Chassis

I liked the Capsella sets with all the parts you could use to build things. Those were cool. I also liked building models when I was a kid.

Was capsella the one with the drive shafts and motors and stuff?

Hell yeah. Best toys ever. Unfortunately I broke/took them all apart. I have the re-issue Voltron, but it's just not the same.

Also for all you LEGO hounds (I'm one )

Have you ever ventures to LEGO Nirvana on the web:

Last I checked, they even had scans of some of the old instruction sheets!

Tonka Trucks and the Sanbox was the best!

Legos were lots of fun, too. Still are.

Legos, I didn't stop playing with them regularly until I was 15. I was still playing with them on and off until I was like 18. And every once and awhile...

I made all kinds of crazy crap with legos. Badass robots, back to the future car, a boat with helicopter garage built into it...tons of multistory houses. The technic stuff was a blast, I used to love building factories with working conveyor belts...and even made a battle suit inspired by the power loader from aliens that one of those tall technic men with the bending knees and elbows could wear and move in.

Man, I love legos...its a shame the new ones are such sell out wannabe model kit trash for the most part.

Question for you fellow lego heads: were you one of those kids who HAD to have the same color blocks to build something...or like me, as long as it was a fitting part it didn't matter what color?

You SOLD them? Sorry, but I must call you an idiot now.

Micronauts. One of the last toys with real shooting missiles.

I'd still play with them if I had the space.

Holy Sh!t! When I was a kid a friend of mine got one of these from a yardsale, the Rocket Tube set. I've been wondering since I was like 7 what the hell that was. It was so cool!

I have the rocket tube set in my attic. Every winter or two I set it up and play with it. One of the best toys ever made. But my favorite might be the Force Commander action figure. He was one of the larger figures, and had firing missiles that would leave a mark on your best friend. (let me restate: almost all Micronauts had firing missiles. But apparently the springs in the Force Commander were extra strong)

 

[Linflas]

I used to love American Bricks as a kid too. They were kind of a 1960's version of Legos.

 

[simms]

Ghostbusters, KNeX, S... steel set? I forgot what it was called...

 

[PingSpike]

My favorite toy was Hustler Magazine. Had some good times with that one.

Yes, you could build powered boats, cars and all kinds of cool stuff.

Lol, I probably have some of that in a box in my closet.

In order that I can remember:

1. Atari
2. Gobots
3. Transformers
4. IBM PC (This thing cost my dad a fortune back in the day)
5. GIJoe

Now, my favorite toy is technology or my goalie equipment. I remember the days when a $10-$20 toy was awesome. Now, my toys are a lot more expensive.
