For me, Legos were always a favorite. I could and did build damn near anything with them; my parents once came home to find that their 8-year-old son had dragged a ladder up the stairs and built a tower to the ceiling. I don't mean almost to the top, I mean wedged between the floor and ceiling. After that incident, my parents had a little talk with me about the proper use of the ladder (with a bit thrown in about responsible use of power tools, ubt that's a different story,) I had to stack up chairs and boxes to get that high.

Hell, I still play with legos. In high school, I'd keep the box in the trunk of the car (we're talking about a 3'x2'x1' box, not just a small one,) and take them out at a friend's house and we'd build various huge structures. At that point, it wasn't just little kid-style Lego buildings, it was more of a combination of an architecture contest and something resembling the Warhammer game.

Another favorite of mine was to wire up firecrackers to model rocket igniters that I got in bulk for a few cents a piece at a flea market and take short video clips of squads of army men being blown up. The zoom on that camcorder was pretty good for its time.

Micro-Machines, Masters of the Universe toys (the battle damage toys that never worked for me), Ninja Turtles (Had truck loads of them... key word had. ), and my favorite of all time, LEGOs! my god, i loved them, i had a huge Tub full of legos. I used to build robots, they were so awsome. You could open the chest and put a guy in there, and one in the head, the robot had all movable joinds, all the way down to fingers... I have since passed my LEGOs to my younger cousin, that then added his huge collection, then just a little while ago gave them to a younger cousin of ours. We have kept the legos in the family, that collection is huge... ohh crap im rambling again... man i miss my legos *goes off to start a new collection*

When I was about 5-6 years old my family and I spent two weeks visiting my uncle and his family who were living in Texas.

I only remember one thing from that trip: "The Little Van Goes"

It's difficult to describe, it was about 8" x 6" x 2", it had a drawer full of sections of vans (front, middle bit and rear) and you could put them together to make a vast array (about 20) different vans, then you put a sheet of paper over the top and made an etching of the van. Brilliant.

I would have to say that Lego was my absolute favourite but I also have fond memories of playing with:

Big Jim (I had the rescue rig)



Star Trek action figures and Planet Apes Action figures (I had the treehouse - it had cool hidden compartments and everything!)

My dad was a hell of a carpenter, he could crank out a pretty realistic looking wooden rifle, in nothing flat. A nail for the trigger, and an old belt for the strap, and I was ready for tigers, Indians, or outlaws.

Oh, and kinda liked playing with the girl next door, better than Legos.

Maybe mechanics? it was pieces of metal that you could screw together, build things with, came with little motors, gears, shafts etc, you could make like cars, helicopters, etc.

Rock'em Socke'em boxers.

I remember my mom getting me some from a yard sale or something and the head of the blue one wouldn't pop up. Nevertheless, I loved it.

Also they had those cars that you pull the winding thing out and they would rev up and you could smash against each other or anywhere else, and the pieces would come off. Those were so cool!

Lincoln logs and tinker toys, for years...then I got a Red Rider BB-gun---everything went great until Dad caught me shooting that old bull in the balls---man he could beller (the bull, not dad)...
so, he took the insides out so it would not shoot BB's...thats when i figured out that it made a hell of a water gun when I dipped it in the horse tank...problem was, my sister yelled louder than the old bull when I shot her in the face with a load of water...

It disappeared right after that...

I have two.

The first is the most fun, and most used. The second is the most memorable.

The first, and most fun toy I remember playing with is GI Joe figurines. I was really into them, and would dig ditches in my back yard and play with them all day long. It was great.

My most memorable toy was one of those "double layer" wheels (think mini Merry-Go-Round), that you sat on and could spin around really fast if you spun the top wheel fast enough.

As a child, I got the brilliant idea to try to stand on this and spin while on my porch, near the pillar supporting the roof. Naturally, I lost control, fell, and cracked my head on the ledge of the pillar. A hospital visit was in order, but I don't think any permanent damage was done, aside from many stitches and a scar, which has since gone away.

I also remember loving this felt panther I had. I believe it was Skeletor's panther, and I would take it everywhere I went. I think I credit this partly with liking animals so much now that I am older. That little felt panther really has a permanent place in my memory for some reason. It was just really cool, and I liked it a lot.

Lego, by far. I loved building anything and everything - spaceships, castles and underwater bases. I used both the premade sets, and I built my own things. I've actually still got my lego packed away somewhere! (pack rat)

It was a combination for me:

Construx building block type things
Star Wars vehicles
GI Joe action figures

The 3 3/4" GI Joes. Man, I loved those things. Especially once I figured out how to switch their body parts around. (boil them in water to make the plastic soft, then pop the heads out, unhook the rubber band inside to change legs, etc. My poor little Star Wars toys got left in the dust as GI Joe commandeered all their vehicles.

I had a huge number of Construx blocks, and used to build enormous bases, robots, and vehicles for the GI Joes to crush. Ahhh the memories.
