The toys you played with as a child....

You'd be amazed the terror you can bring upon a neighborhood with a rock, a stick, and a pile of rotten apples.....

I have always been a pack rat, I still have all my Star Wars, Transformers, Legos, Go Bots, Hotwheels, Matchbox , & all those 70's & 80's goodies.

My parents always made me get rid of stuff when every couple of years when we had a garage sale. One year I had to get rid of one toy and I went with Star Wars. The next time I had to, I decide, I picked He-Man & She-Ra toys. Then Transformers, and later TMNT. I was left with G.I. Joe because that was the only thing still going strong at the time (TMNT started to go down in the early 90s). Then, when I turned 13, I got into the attitude that I couldn't have toys so I gave a friend of mine, who was a year younger, all my G.I. Joe toys. When the Joe toy line was ended I ended up kicking myself for my dunderhead mistake. When the new 3 3/4" characters came out I started collecting them (with the idea to eventually pose them in a display case-something I promise I will do some day). I also found a website that sold old toys. Of course the main characters were expensive but I got some of my favorite underrated characters (Big Boa, Roadpig, Zandar & Zarana, later Destro, and Law & Order). I also got some of the re-released ones. I have long since stopped due to my credit card debt (much of which was a result of my collecting), but I have two boxes full of characters and vehicles.

DB - I don't really regret it because it was for a good cause, but I gave all my Star Wars, GI Joe and Transformers to the Police Dept. for Toys For Tots. I often wonder how much they'd be worth now. Plenty, I'm sure. BUT, I was blessed as a kid with a good home and I figure some other poor kids got to use them.

I kept all my Hot Wheels and Matchbox and now that my kiddos have some I get to relive my Hot Wheels Track days. I used to pretend each car was an NFL running back and I'd set up a ramp and let them jump. The car/Running Back who flew the farthest had the most yards rushing that game. I'd add it all up to see who got the Rushing Title. Great memories!

the only toy anyone REALLY NEEDS:

tomy train sets were my favourite. i still have them all from when i was three

A Chucky Doll, until my father took it from me, smashed his face & threw it on top of the roof.

ALL KIDS LOVE LOG!!!

Key cars

I also had an Air Jammer Road Rammer (the car, not the motorcycle)

I had a few Star Wars action figures, but I didn't have very many. Dad and I used to play with them in the backyard.

Anybody remember that red barn that had the double doors, and when you'd open it, it would make a "moo" sound?
