what were your favorite toys?

[Sabudda]

No computer when we were kids. Hell, I was 14 before the Atari 2600 came out.
So we would take our old toys and my dads black powder and blow shit up.
I blew up my 6 Million Dollar Man figure and immediately missed it. I had all the figures-even Felix, his boss. (Ol' Felix and the bionic bigfoot got blown up in the ice cave set...)
What are your pre-electronic favs?

 

[Blckbrd]

BB guns & shotgun, home-made black powder, matches, gasoline, big wheel, skate board, bicycle, lincoln logs, matchbox cars, legos

Neat thought.........

Neat thought.........

Slot cars, (H2O scale???) the real small ones. Hot Wheels too. and still have most of 'em. All 1 owner cars, some worth a bit, and still have a Hot Wheels car case. Most less than mint condition. I recall blowing a few of them up. I get this feeling this may be a predominantly "southern' thing for some reason tho, the blowing shit up part. LOL

Great thread Sabudda... I played with matchbox cars nonstop. I graduated to building model cars and finally real wheels

Mr Potato Head (and Mrs) with a real potato! GI Joe, my Batman suit, my battery powered tank, lighter fluid, matches, my friends BB gun, keeping snakes (animals aren´t toys...) and lizards that escaped in the house, Encyclopedia Brittanica...those were the days of Gilligan´s Island and Playboy pinups in my friends garage.

 

[Abraham Lincoln]

Transformers, the original ones

Gilbert chemistry set. The big one you could actually do awfully dangerous things with.

Show a kid a book, you'll find the sofa no longer leans. Show a kid how to blow something up, you'll get a lifelong fan of chemistry.

I had a giant, amazingly unsafe treehouse me n pals built in my backyard.
S'a wonder nobody died from the shit we pulled off in that rickety bitch.
Touched my first boobies in there too!

I liked playing cards. Most of the same toys listed. Also had a club house and tree house. I lived by a sledding hill. Sleds were cool. Table Hockey Game. Ping Pong Pool.
