Favorite toy growing up?

[monk3y]

What was your favorite toy and do you still have it around?

I don't know if anyone remembers the Gobots but I had quite a few. My favorites were both Cy-Kill and Coptur. Unfortunately I have no clue where they are now

A fishing pole.

Seriously. I used to bass fish a good 30 hours a week in middle school.

I really liked my Erector set. I wish I still had it as my son would like it too. I guess I'll have to buy a new one.

I'd say it was either Legos or GI Joes. Between those two, I'd say Legos.

Lego and Construx (kind of like Lego).

There was something my mom got me when i was little called "tub town".
It was something you could stick to the wall of the bathtub and you could play with it while taking a
bath. I loved the water so i would sit forever in the bathtub playing with them.
I also love barbie, but i made my own clothes and housing for her!

My fav was Big Trak. I would program it to chase and shoot the cat.

Construx rocked. We used to make all kinds of stuff with that. If I had some now, I'd probably try to build a bong... :Q

B-Ball was my life growing up..even went to a special B-Ball camp every summer. I was a tomboy and did not figure out I was female till 16 or so when "things" started changing.

Do you guys still buy/play with toys? I admit I do....love my legos to this day. The great thing is now I have the money to buy all the kewl stuff I want!

I find myself still buying 'old' toys from e-bay. I admit I've been to some toy stores but new toys just don't seem to have the imagination factor some of the older stuff had

it was a plastic mosaic thing I got off the white elephant table at a pta carnival.. had 2 little plastic grids about 2.5x5" that you could clip together to make a square, and all sorts of tiny shapes with pegs.. rectangles, longer rectangles, squares, triangles, and half circles, that you plugged into the grids and made pictures or designs or whatnot. don't know what happened to that, but it was so tiny it's a wonder it stuck around as long as it did.

well.. that was my favorite toy that I had.. my real favorite toy belonged to the kid down the street.. magnastiks. since it wasn't mine I don't still have that either.. but my kids have one.

this was pretty fun too.. smack a roo.. I do still have that. well.. most of it. heh.

Hmmm.. how far back are you talking, here?

When I was really young, my favorite toy was a big yellow Tonka dumptruck.
