What was your fave toy...

[Gingerlord]

One of your favourite toys you can remember from your childhood, why it was, what it was and when. :cool:

I used to have a massive collection of Starcom figures and veichles. They were cool cuz the men had magnets on their feet and the veichles and ships were generally metal so you could simulate zero G. HOW COOL IS THAT!

This was about 1988.

[Hitpoint]

Lego. You can make the sets, play with them, then make something else. My favourite was the pirate ship which I still have and is now on top of our fridge. I got it when I was about 7.

[HeavyT]

What: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Why: Teenaged, Mutated, Ninjas, and Turtles. nuff said.
When: 80's early 90's

[terrorbite]

Not including games consoles, I guess I'd also have to say lego... and meccano!

Edit: Whoops, forgot to say... I liked them cause I like building stuff and it was late 80's/early 90's.

[Gingerlord]

How old are you now?

Check out Starcom. AMAZING. I'm gonna hunt down some episodes.

Starcom: The U.S. Space Force (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starcom:_The_U.S._Space_Force)

[Socks]

Hot wheels. Because i remember having such a good time throwing them out my sixth-story-window

I cant find a picture of the toy, but it was a cat that purrs when you moved its neck, have had it since I was 4, called Twinkle ^_^

Before that it was a toy cow called Littlemoo.
Loved that toy.

I'm seriously missing these now!

[aap]

Lego for sure. I made crappy movies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqSgW4wcRWw) with it too. :P

[allfalldown]

Never thought about what my favourite toy was before, and now I can't really remember much of what I had. I had some pretty cool Micro Machines stuff :D I think I'm gonna have to say Lego as well though. I made a lot of spaceships and robots and stuff.

Ooh, I just remembered that I had a Mighty Max Skull Mountain (http://www.mightymax.co.uk/toys.html). That had some pretty cool stuff in it, including a two-headed dragon :D

[ZekeyLizard]

I had a teddy bear that looked like a panda. :)

Man I dragged that thing EVERYWHERE.

[Monique]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

They were the shit man. The orange one, Michelangelo, was my fav.

High five Heavy T.

[Eschaton]

Lego's and Bionicles. Those were the awesome. I loved being able to build stuff.

[woody_tng]

Weebles were fun too. :D

[Gabber-Baby]

I remember having the Sylvanian Families mansion with all the little animal figures. It even had a toilet that made a flushing noise when u pressed the handle! :eek: Kept me amused for hours. It had felt curtains up at the windows with plastic flowers, and the kitchen had all the plates and little plastic croissants and bagels :p

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff10/gabber-baby/gn-20070119-01.jpg

And i also remember having this ugly plastic doll - Baby Born. I vaguely remember having sachets of this powder stuff that u mixed in with water, and when you "fed" her, she wee'd out this yellow crap :D Just like the real thing i suppose. I found her the other day in the shed, covered in permanent marker and biro drawings.

These were from around 1992-ish.

It'll work on my TV. I'll buy it off you for 10 English pounds!! [That probably isn't anywhere near enough]

[HobNob]

A teddy called "Pink Lady". My nana gave me her shortly before she died. I think my mum threw her away not long ago. Bitch.


EDIT: Ooh and that game that was yellow and had loads of red bits that you had to fit in before the time ran out. I loved it but I can't remember what it was called

Anything I could find in the old milking shed on the farm I used to live on.

Spread the rep people. It shows love :)

Remember these...

I had a massive setup in my bedroom. It were proper bo.

Damn! That was in '86! :-S

[Gabber-Baby]

[EDIT] Shit, Gabber...must spread rep...Sylvanians :eek:

I know! Sylvanians are the shit! I had so many of them, I remember crying though because i had a mr and mrs duck couple, and mr.duck's leg fell off :D

Aww, i wish i was little again. I had the Sylvanians Canal Boat too which was just awesome...even though it couldnt actually float and you had to pretend the carpet was a lake :rolleyes:

[RadioactiveHam]

Lego rocked

I loved Rock'em Sock'em Robots but it broke the 2nd week I got it :( and it wasn't replaced

So I'm getting for my birthday :D

[Niamhel]

Lego and dolls, i really loved my dolls

[allfalldown]

http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/fuz49_best-dad.jpgOh man, I used to have that too. On my gran's birthday earlier this year, we were in some tea-room somewhere, and for some reason there was a big stack of toys in there, including some Fuzzy Felt. Oh, the nostalgia did flow as me, my sister and my cousins (ages 18-21 at the time, I think) got it out and had a good giggle :D

I also loved toy army soldiers. In retrospect, I had terrible parents.

http://www.supercoolstuff.com/items/budget/pics/NVS038.jpg

[Gabber-Baby]

Yeah, Go Go Power Rangeeers! :D

I remember i used to watch it with my older bro when i was about 7. There was a kid who lived near us who was a little bit slow and not really all there. Me and my brother had him going for years that i was Kimberly, the pink power ranger. When he used to ask my bro where i was, my brother would say i was out "mighty morphing".
Everytime i went out to play, he was there...just staring at me. He really fell for it. Dumbass.

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff10/gabber-baby/res7.jpg

[Archaeology hat]

I was a big fan of micro machines, you know the tiny little cars-trucks etc? They were so cool. Had a whole tin of them. I had a load of power-rangers stuff too. My school banned people from playing "power rangers" when I was small, can't remember why.

[crazy-eye0]

Lego...I remember spending countless hours with Lego...and before then?

A electronic Thomas The Tank Engine train set thing, I remember building an entire track around the dining room table and then sitting whatching the trains go around and around the track...

[swarfegahead]

Lego! Star Wars Lego in particular. I remeber getting one of the big TIE Interceptors for Christmas and spending all Christmas Day building it. Good times.

I still have loads of it around somewhere. Time fot some attic searching!

[crazy-eye0]

I remember the Star Wars Lego!
I had some, but not much, I was realy dissapointed when I wasn't allowed the Lego electronic R2D2 though...

I remember, the biggest bit of Lego I ever had was some Harry potter Train thing, it took my Dad ages to put together...The biggest peace, which I made myself, and I still have, is some random super long spaceship thing, complete with an inside...pieces of it are missing, probably never to be found...

I kept the ship as a little monument...I was always taking down Lego and building random things. I used to get boxes of things, which were meant to make one thing, which I'd use to go off and make another thing...

Good times...

[swarfegahead]

Yeah, just building massive things out of bits an pieces was the main reason I love Lego. I loved making dungeons and stuff with traps in them, reminded me of Pitfall! That game was class...
My all time favourite Lego constructoin was my Lego Slave 1 though, Boba Fett was THE man. Before they changed his voice an stuff in the new remasters...

(Shit,'Im getting close to revealing I'm a big Star Wars geek.Oh crap....)

:mad:

Speaking of Robotech, I think I may have had two of the toys, which I only figured out when I looked at an advert for a Robotech game, saw "UN SPACEY" written down the side of the robot and realised it was on the toys too. If anyone can figure it out, one of them was military-green, short and had a Gatling gun for a head.

[Cjw]

Haha, I've still got my Dragon Flyz. Still works and everything.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ae/2-xltiger.JPG

2XL. Basically an "Interactive" tape player which spoke, flashed and asked you questions which you answered using buttons. You could buy various themed tapes for it.

[JebblehMooo]

That is freakin awesome.

[Darkeye]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/Raven_1959/dragon_flyz_fryte.jpg

I had one of those briefly, I wasn't strong enough to use it properly at the time so i got my dad to set it off, he had the brilliant idea of attaching the draw cord to the brush cutter, the dude went about 50 feet in the air and the launcher flew off and smashed against the shed.

I also had Star Wars micromachines, bed spread, action figures, etc. I wish I hadn't broken my lightsaber so long ago, that thing was ace.

Didnt like the shiny glimmery ones though, only liked to play with the plain coloured ones.

When I really little brio was my fav :)

http://www.imagehosting.com/out.php/i1250223_BrioTrackAndStackCity.jpg (http://www.imagehosting.com)

But my brio didnt have little people... all the trains were just solid blocks of wood, as it should be. Oh! I even had a brio express train (looked like the real one) but mine was always on time even though it derailed regularly. It could also fly :D

This was in the late 80's and early 90's when most trains had special powers.

[doctor_fruitbat]

I wa at my grandparents' house the other weekend, and what did they have lying around from my childhood?

Man, I was still playing with Brio up until I was about 14.

In my universe, train rides were more like roller coasters. Fuck realistic train sets, that's for the Hornby nerds. Yeah, I also had a hornby train set.

http://www.learningthings.us/acatalog/polydronweb.jpg

This is my addition to the thread, because Brio, Lego and Meccano have all been mentioned.

[Wigpat]

Playmobil!
That was my absolute favourite. Me and my friend Grace would still play with it when we were like 13.

Also everything star wars. Me and my brother are complete star wars nerds. I still have my luke lightsber and my brother now has a force FX luke one. :3

[Boyinabox]

My dad still has all his old Scaletrix up in the attic, we used to bring it down during the holidays when there was the time to set up some uber tracks.

Sadly I never realised the mechanics of SLOWING DOWN around corners, so I always flew off the tracks and into the spectators. Then the cars all broke and we've never used it since. :(

That Thomas the Tank Engine train-set thing where Thomas collects little black balls, then gives them to someone else who takes them up to where Thomas collects them from and dumps them in, in a little endless cycle.
