When You Were A Kid, What Were Your Favorite Toys / Games?

[arwalden]

I loved my "Creepy Crawler Thing Maker" (even though I frequently burned myself on it).

1. Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em Robots!

And Matchbox cars.

[flvegan]

2. "Crossbows and Catapults"

Nothing like flying hunks of heavy plastic to break unintended targets around the house.

3. TRANSFORMERS...

4. How nerdy is this: One year I asked for a globe for Christmas.

Got it, too! :thumbsup:

6. My dolls made out of bobbypins and clothespins.

Also, the cornshuck dolls.

7. Without a second of hesitation.. LEGO

Specifically, Expert/Technic LEGO. I had (and still have) about 15 sets, including two Mindstorm robotics sets. It was cool to be able to think up a toy and then figure out how to build it. It was a new toy every day.

LEGO is the best toy ever.

8. Mousetrap

10. Oh yeah,

Mousetrap is the greatest!

I used to get really frustrated by my Etch-A-Sketch, though! I could never make a picture look right with all those angles!

We used to play "Mystery Date" a lot. Nobody wanted to get stuck with "The Dud!" I could never really see what was so wrong with him. He just had bad fashion sense! :)

9. Lots of Star Wars stuff

One Christmas was nothing but Star Wars vehicles and action figures.

I also enjoyed riding around town on my bike wearing a Batman mask and a blue towel tied around my neck.

I was the shiz-nitz.

11. Jerry Mahoney ventriloquist dummy

I had a matching red blazer and bow tie and did shows all the time.
Can't find a good picture of the one I had.
Also my talking Beanie doll from Beanie and Cecil

I still have them both.
