best toy when you were a kid

[hippiechild]

My best toy was always my imagination. Whether it was mutilating LEGO knights, out in the yard with a cap gun, or playing football or baseball with friends, it never failed me. In my teens I got into things like Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering which allowed my imagination to cook up all sorts of stuff. And I'm a lifetime Star Wars fan, so I've reenacted just about every scene from the original trilogy.

And I'm still waiting for someone to invent a green lightsaber for me to buy. I'd pay an arm and a leg for one of those.

yes, exactly. You can't trump or even come close to reproducing the boundless ingenuity of a child in a toy. Any attempts to do so only serve to set boundaries on their creative genius.

I was pretty much into board games as a kid, i still am

This was my favourite, i always wished the theme park was real

hehe I remember watching the goosebumps tv series on a channel called fox kids when i was younger.

This was my favourite toy, Optimus Primal from the cgi tv show Beast Wars, which was a spin off from Transformers, basically instead of tranforming into vehicles they transform into animals, (Which is why he's called Primal instead of Prime like in the original). Primal could turn into a gorilla, here are photos of him in both his forms, lol I'm so sad I can probably still remember how to transform all the toys I had.

I know what those are! Those are those remote control tanks that register hits and stuff so you can have remote control wars. That could be much fun. I like my RC heli but it only weighs and ounce so I have to keep it indoors. ::

There were a lot of great toys when I was a kid, so I could never pick just one.

I never had many lego's but I remember having a ton of K'nex.. It was like a newer version of the old school erector set lol. I really liked putting together model airplanes and robots too. I had a lot of Gundam models, I wish I would have kept some of those things now also but they are long gone.

I love lego! I have close to $10,000 of it. This ship I built was 9' 6' long, 3'6" wide, 4' tall when it was finished (this isnt the finished pic)

Good god! you spoilt brat! ::

Lego was my number one aswell

You make your own toys with it afterall

I was three years old and I made a little fleet of sailing ships, my mum asked 'What's that Stephen?'
I replied 'The Spanish Armada'
Woo go nerd kid!
