Favorite toy from your childhood

[Angie]

I would think that the wide disparity of ages on this board would give us a lot of different answers here, but what was your favorite toy from your childhood? Skeletor's castle with the green slime? Sit 'n' Spin?

I read and played outside most of the time when I was little. I didn't have a ton of "girly" toys, but I did love this for some reason:

^^ my mother was big time into those as a kid, still has a bunch of her drawings to this day

(not commenting on you being an oldie tho i promise)

Sega Genesis. I did have a pretty bad *** Ghostbusters Proton Pack though, and my friend across the street had the ghost trap too.

There is no correct answer besides Legos.

 

[longtimeclone]

Mine was probably legos.

I'm quite a bit older than you (probably ten years), but luckily couldn't be your mom. :wink: I think that was maybe around starting in the 60s or 70s?

We had an old-school Nintendo, and I was the queen of Dr. Mario. I tore that up.

Sometimes, if I behaved well, my dad would slide a block of wood under the door for me to play with. Good times.

This explains a lot.

I never had the Super Nintendo or any Sega consoles, but I made my Nintendo last through my childhood. My dad sold it at our garage sale when I was in high school. Still kinda mad about that.

Also, any TMNT toys.

I think the NES wins the award for most frustrating toy. I wonder how long I would spend trying to get a game to work.

After about 4th grade, it was all guns and go-carts for my brother and I. Can't beat growing up on a farm.

Atari 2600...until NES

Nothing came close to topping the NES until we got our first PC.

They made you work to play your games. Worth it.

Laser tag set. We had it all. Had those and headset walkie talkies and played for hours in our woods by our house.
THe Saturday morning cartoon was awesome too.

Used to light a lot of fires too. No idea how we never burned anything down. We also had a small goal that my parents bought us to play hockey on the driveway and we made up tons of games with that.
