Gfted1 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I also used to love those race cars sets where the little cars zipped around the track in the grooves with the metal electric contact on either side. I spent countless hours taking the cars apart, swapping motors, gears, etc and putting them back together. I bought one a few years back to revel in nostalgia and it was crap. The cars just kept flying off at the curves. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkreku Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I had one of these: It was incredibly fast, but the battery only lasted for 7-10 minutes. Oh, and I painted my car black and I never mounted that little man on top.. Most often I used to drive it without the Audi-shaped plastic box on.

Oerwinde Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Transformers, GI Joe(my favorite), TMNT, StarCom, Bionic Six(Basically die cast GI Joes), Visionaries, M.A.S.K., EXO Squad... basically any toy that had a sweet cartoon. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepixiesrock Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I had a bunch of ninja turtles, and still do. I was also pretty big on Batman, and Star Wars action figures. Lou Gutman, P.I.- It's like I'm not even trying anymore!http://theatomicdanger.iforumer.com/index....theatomicdangerOne billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

Diamond Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I barely remember anything except LEGO. But my all-time-favourite was plasticine (if that counts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoM_Solaufein Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The 3 3/4" GI Joe and Star Wars figures. I still have them all but not in the best of shape. If they were new like, they would be worth a lot of money.

Walsingham Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Like Kirottu I used to love finding a good stick. We didn't really have many toys. Imagination was the key. Although my best commercial toy had to be my Star Wars action figures. They were fantastic! "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

mkreku Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 ...mine were mostly G.I. Joe, the 4'' figures not the 12''. ..He-Man action figures ..TMNT action figures Stretch Armstrong was on of my favorites.. ..plus ThunderCats. Biker Mice from Mars-figures. And Spiderman ones. And then Heman and Turtles figures.. Apart from that, a bit of "Action Man".. Transformers.. ..and Star Wars action figures. So basically what all you sissies are saying is that you played with dolls. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymond Luxury-Yacht Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I tend to think that the appeal such computer games as Kotor or GTA have on me is due to the fact that they deliver action-figure gameplay the way I imagined it should be as a kid. pronounced: Throatwobbler Mangrove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsingham Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Better than that. I actually did play with the dolls. My little sister came hoem one day to discover that the evil galactic Empire was conducting a police action in her doll's house. We didn't have many kids books in our house. I had to read history instead. Anyway, the point is that unlike mkreku we weren't able to afford vodka and machetes like normal people. "It wasn't lies.

Amentep Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Stretch Armstrong was on of my favorites and who can forget the Six Million Dollar Man!?!? Ah I had a Stretch Armstrong. He liquified in his styrofoam container. I had Maskatron from the Six Million Dollar Man line; my brother had Steve Austin. I also had a number of Megos But without a doubt my favorite toys were The Micronauts I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenghuang Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Also a copy of Word Munchers, lots of Sesame Street, and a large amount of books I taught myself to read with by the age of four. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
