It's a toss-up between TransFormers and the NES for the favorite toys of my youth. Paper airplanes don't count, I'll assume.
Since technology has been advancing at a steady pace in the toy biz (including subsequent generations of TransFormers), I'm curious to see what the younger folks mention.
Are there any Furby or Tickle-Me-Elmo fans out there or were they all about...Zoids and GI Joe Extreme?

The Millenium Falcon. When I was six I got it for my birthday. Played with it every day until my mom sold it when we moved. When I was 22 I saw it at an antique store. Mine. It had my initials still carved in it and everythiing. They wanted a hundred bucks for it. I put down the 25 bucks I had on me, told them the story, they said they'd hold on to it, so I ran to my dad for the rest of the money. When I got back, the woman I talked to had gone for a quick lunch and the cashier had sold it already. I got that guy fired.

Arse-intruding ones. That is where the money is at. 'Cause who would want their banker knowing there fantasies?
Slightly obscure reference ahoy!
Hell yeah I got my money back. Made it out of there with a free old-school lightsaber too. The original ones that didn't light up or extend or anything. The store owner was almost crying she felt so bad.lwm3398 said:
I had a grossly simplified version of a toy train set. It was awesome.
It was challenging to build it to "go around"(I dunno better words. :s), allowed creativity, AND once you were done building, you could use it as a traditional instant-gratification toy. The last part is what motivated me to build bigger and more elaborate tracks. Something that Lego didn't do quite as well.
EDIT: Granted, I grew out of it long before I grew out of Lego(or did i ever grow out of Lego, i say not.)

Squeee I also had that so much fun, I use to pitch it against the Lego castle and throw rocks at each other, they even had working torture chambers where the lego's would spill there secrets or be ripped apart in an orgey of violence and brick. I was a nice child.Singularly Datarific said:Holy Crap, I actually had that a while back!Mongodyr said:Resisting all jokes, I would have to say Legos. But I guess everyone has already said legos, so I will say...
But still: Legos
those small very aposable g.i. joes that could carry weapons and had holes in their feet so you could plant them in spots on their bases. I got a 50 or 100 box set. they were awesome to play with, no stiff moveable parts and such variety. plus i had the Headquarts base and other accesories... if i still had them i'd probably still play with them.
My turtle pizza shooter was kick ass
