Had all of those when I was like 5 or so. The Evel Knievel Stunt bike was cool. Used to setup a ramp at the far edge of the deck, and sit at the other end and [edit] rev it up [/edit] and watch 'em go. The Deck was only a couple feet off the ground, but, with a ramp and some speed it got some good distance.

Not sure what my favorite toy as a kid was BC ( = Before Computers). Probably Lincoln Logs and Legos were the most time spent. I also used to play w/ matchbox cars and such out in the dirt. In the wintertime it was sledding (and setting up paths w/ ramps and other mischievous stuff). Can't do that snow stuff down here in Florida, my children will be so deprived... but I'm not moving out of choice.

The He-Man, Masters of the Universe Toys. And it seemed like I had them all. I had Castle Grayskull, Skeletors purple base with the microphone, and I even had the huge base with the battery operated monorail system.

Hey MichaelD, were micronauts those figures that had transluscent bodies and silver heads? Or is what I'm smoking really, really good?

Both, actually.

Seriously, you're correct. Micronauts all came apart and the pieces were 100% interchangeable. From two or three separate Micronaut toys, you could build a dozen different things. The bigger, more expensive micronauts were motorized and you could build different motorized things.

I had a "submarine" that had a clear plastic round bubble and fins....looked like an underwater helicopter almost. It was awesome. I had this big Robot. His name was Biotron. My brother had Biotron's evil twin, Phobos.

OMG! I found them!!! Check it out!!!

*EDIT*
I SWEAR, I didn't see MojoJojo post the link above. And here I thought I was cool for finding it on Google.
