Play Time!

[saff_cossie]

We never had figures (He-Man etc) or Transformers. Just not educational enough

Nothing battery operated either - it's funny as Dad used to work with Union Carbide, you'd think he'd have the tip on batteries.

That funnily enough was the same thinking my parents had. I didnt own one figure throughout my childhood. Mates had entire WWF sets, He-man, Thundercats etc but I didnt. I just used to cycle or play football (soccer).

power rangers... jeezus christ

[Mavric]

ctjet their toy things were cool man

ok doesnt compare to lego obviously but had to post something different...

[xRHETTx]

heaps of lego - still got it too, my parents made me keep it when i didnt want it, and now ive got it for when i have kids or find suitable ones in a playground somewhere.

Also had alll the Voltron and Castle grayskull, and dino riders.

Want much of a transformer man though.

My favourite toy was my first bike i guess, my grandpa used to make bikes so he made it for my 4th bday or something. Then a months later my other grandpa ran over it in the driveway with his 4WD. He said it was an accident, BUT I HAVE MY SUSPITIONS....

So then i got a Diamond Back BMX and in a week i'd forgotten all about my old bike.

Mine never had the USA flag - was living in Montreal at the time, so mine was the Terrance and Philip maple-leaf version.

Easy one, LEGO! For years and years it's all I ever asked for, infact no one asked. They just bought me Lego. Still have it all too, in the roof somwhere.

I think my first fav would have to be this one - 1985 Galaxy Commander (6980)

Edit - Was just doing some reading, apparently old lego is worth a lot of money! Who would of thought hey. All my leg is over 20 years old

I never really had a favorite toy...I had horses...That was a bit more fun than toys to me...now i have cars instead of horses.... And my 4yr old daughter would much rather be in the shed helping to work on a car than playing with toys...hehe

[AGE]

LEGO LEGO LEGO....i had ton's of teh stuff. Even had 2 milk crates full given to me my Dads first apprentice!! Then foolishly when i moved out of home i gave it to my younger cousins. Now i have a son of my own, i get to buy it all again...All STAR WARS LEGO!!!!

Also i got addicted to the old "choose you own" adventure books....they were awesome!

I had one of these too....

All i wanted was a Atari....but i got stuck with the intellevison dog of a machine, cause my parents thought that it was more educational because it came with a keyboard. The intellevison died after about 6 months use.... I still tease my parents about their poor choice of gaming systems....you can still buy a Atari in stores!!

[krzysiu]

Lol, one toy i had was a Small pedal Car. Made with metal and everything... 2 seater!!! Ah the memories.

Also shitloads of lego, still got some of the lego technique that i made ages ago.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE!

Yes! They were the bestest books ever!

I loved how more often than not, you died a horrible death. Perfect for kids

I think this was one of my favourites...

[GTRgeoff]

I had almost no toys. Progressed from an 1890 circa single shot Winchester .22 to a .303-25 to a full bore .303 and .243. I then Joined the Army so it was bigger rifles, grenades, explosives, rocket launchers, sniper rifles, machine guns, Leopard tanks and guided missiles.

Oh at 14 I got a 4 cyl Torana as a paddock basher. Loved sliding that on the dirt.

[sammus]

I also had this - the Fisher Price ATV.

There are photos of me getting it for my first birthday - and I remember having it until I was 7!

Bad. Ass.

I had a big plastic car similar to that. the front axle broke, i stacked it forward and now i have a scar on my chin

my favourite toy was my little beemer i got when i was 13...

Lots of the toys i had or wanted as a kid have all come back out again and now they are my nieces favorites like care bears, strawberry shortcake, cabbage patch dolls etc.

My brother had a bat-mobile and Gi-Jo though, barbie and Gi-Jo would go on dates in the bat-mobile and he had heaps of those little plastic green or blue army men.

[Leewah]

Here's a brief list of toys I regularly played with (a lot of these were hand me down from my brother from when he was a kid):

• Galaxy Commander
  
• Galaxy Explorer
  
• An entire sack of other space lego
  
• More Tecknik that I can poke a stick at inc a helicopter and the McLaren F1 car
  
• Diecast 5 lion Volton
  
• More Transformers than I care to remember
  
• He-Man inc Castle Greyskull, Snake Mountain (with voice changer), and Battle Ram
  
• Subbuteo (sp?), Polycomomy (sp?), Totopoly and many many more board games
  
• Mr Frosty
  
• Atari, NES, Sega Mastersystem
  
• 300+ Matchbox cars

hmmmmmmmmmmm... wonder if my mate in NZ who was a lego freak has all his.

He had a large sized bedroom FILLED with lego... he had a lego country in there... roads, mountains, rivers a lake... it was rediculous... even back then (about 12 years ago) we are talking around 15,000 dollars worth.

the room had a walk in robe which was about the size of a small bedroom which was the "moon" where all the space stuff was... like i said... rediculous. it was like a lego museum... but god dam it was fun

Leewang - judging by the completeness of that list, I would say you went home and looked along the shelf in your bedroom with the laptop in hand

I have a Sega Mastersystem II and Megadrive set up in my apartment now with a draw full of games. They are all so cheap now! Scary thing is I used to pay the same for a Mastersystem game 11 years ago as I do for a 360 game today.

[ylwgtr2]

pfft figurines and building stuff were for girls...i had these two puppies.....pulled some long hours selling newpapers and done the double shift delivering on the push bike to get the coin tho!

oh love talking about 80s related stuff...

I grew up with, transformers, voltron, my little pony, carebears, he-man & she-ra, micro machines, matchbox cars, lego, duplo..

I had the she-ra castle as pictured and the following figurines.. some of these are actually worth a quite a bit now days.. I'm so hoping mum still has it all stored up in the roof with some of my other toys...

Ive still got the complete voltron toys, except i'm missing his sword.

Also have a complete optimus prime toy and the tyranasaurus rex one from transformers..

and some of my pound puppies are still floating around somewhere, I know my old dog got hold of a couple and ripped them to bits..

[Jamezilla]

The Frog!

Awesome!

I washed cars up and down the street for about 4-months to buy the Grasshopper, then about 2-weeks after I got it - dad came speeding down the drive and crushed it

I'm not afraid to say there were tears...

But then, a few weeks later - dad came home from work with THIS!

It is in our backyard even today

Free to good home!
