the collection thread got me reminiscing about old toys I still have.

Some of the way cool toys I had and sometimes wish I still did were:

legos
tinker toys (the real wood ones)
lincoln logs (again the real wood ones)
my brother's transformers
puffalumps, I still have mine, its a cow!
good ole' fashion sand box
building blocks my grandfather made for me
atari 2600. Well, I didn't have it but I played it at friends houses.
tire swing in the backyard

Strawberry shortcake
my brothers He man
my brothers star wars stuff
barbie

oh yeah and my easy bake oven, I am surprised I never burned the house down, lol

oh I totally forgot about He-Man. My brother had a ton of that as well. I loved the He-Man that you would punch his chest and this little rolly thing would flip so it looked like you caused battle damage! I also loved the big green and yellow tiger he rode on.

Never really had much for awesome toys as a kid. My parents weren't the spend money type of people. That's ok I still had a great childhood. How about toys I wish I had. Lke G.I. Joe and Lego. I really wanted that stuff but it was too expensive. I miss the indoor pool though.

Well I remember my Crissie doll...her hair grew and then you could shorten it again and make it grow again...we, of course , had our barbies, but they fraternized with the Johnny West Collection..my faves were the horses of course but Barbies legs kept falling off while riding...barbie fashioned horses didnt come out until much later LOL...we spent most of our time outside playing with hand me down bikes and GI Joes from my cousin....the big ones...not those crazy little ones of the future collections.....

My hotwheels cars and my slingshot were amongst my most prized possesions...I had a really sweet butterfly net too...and of course all of my camping equipment. Since my dad wanted a boy and got stuck with me I was outfitted at an early age and would spend weeks on end 'camping' in the back yard.

My brothers and I would play monopoly for days! I wasn't really into dolls, I would rather be out riding my bike or fishing with my brothers! I also loved to play cards, solitaire and gin rummy were the big two, oh yeah and WAR!

We belonged to the town swimming pool in the summer and we would go there from the time it opened until my mother called to pool and told us to come home for dinner! No really a toy but it was how we spent our childhood summers.

Legos for me too, and lots of them! (My friends had them, mostly, but that was always what we played with. We had pretty elaborate worlds and stories going.)

Battle bots. Anyone remember those little rubber half animal/half robots?

Super Nintendo. That was the video game system around when I was little, although I played the original NES later and loved it too.

I loved early computer games. (Some of these were already old by the time I played them, but I loved them.) Beaurocrasy and other completely text games. All the early Sierra games were great, too. All of the King's Quest games, and The Colonel's Bequest (and its sequel). A lot of those little plane shooter games you could get on a floppy for a dollar or two. The original WarCraft... Well, I'll leave it at that for now.

Crossbows and Catapults/Weapons and Warriors. I loved those games. I still have two sets. Other boardgames we played a lot were Hero Quest, and of course Clue and Monopoly. Mouse Trap!

Other than that, I didn't play a lot with toys. I really read more than anything else when I was a kid.
