Answer the question! Pictures are cool.

When I was a kid, Lego.

Transformers all the way!!!!

My gocart and a black toy AK that I had before they sissified all the toy guns by making them pink and blue and shit.

Dammit, you beat me to it.

I have never had an action figure in my entire life. I've owned hundreds of Matchbox/Hot Wheels cars, those were enough to entertain me for the longest time.

I had plenty of action figures but I was going to say Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars (I always liked Matchbox better because they were real cars though) too. I'd go out on the side of my moms house as a youngin' and make tracks in the dirt with my foot and have races. I used to do that for hours and hours as a kid. Damn I miss my youth.

I can agree with that. One of my favorite Matchbox cars when I was 8-9 was a Porsche 944. That little car had probably been through more unknown terrain than my Legacy has

However, I still have a few Hot Wheels cars on display in my kitchen, from the Cadillac Cien to the Lancia Stratos, so they make realistic cars too.

I used to LOVE to watch car movies and play along with my toy cars in tangent with the movie, Christine and Herbie being my favorites.

Harold & Maude was a good one for cool cars, too.

I'll have to say Legos for me, too and my bike.

I never liked action figures as I've always disliked people. I used to substitute rubber bugs for GI Joes as pilots.

I used to set up all my Hot Wheel/Matchbox cars on my floor and pretend they were all armed like James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 and they would battle it out like a perverse demolition derby for hours.

I used to smash my cars with a hammer to make it look like they'd been in wrecks and then crash them in race scenerios. Ya, I had issues as a child.


I have to say that my BMX bike was probably my ultimate toy ever though. I got my first real bmx bike when I was about 6 years old and it opened up a whole new world of freedom and adventure. I started racing ABA by age 9 and that carried me into high school.

probably my world rally wrx transformer. that thing's the pimp shit

Always was, and always will be LEGOs.

I cant believe no one has mentioned Robotix and capsella.....damn am I that friggin old!

Dino Riders, Exo squad (those things were awesome), legos. Legos were always fun cause you could build a really cool things then smash em into the floor and theyd explode.

Capsella was the shit as were Legos. Those were definitely some of my favorites. I have to say that my ultimate toy was G.I. Joe and Star Wars. Between my brother and I we had EVERY star wars toy there was...until my mom decided we never needed those toys again and gave them to Salvation Army I'm still bitter about that one.

Another fun ass toy was Construx.

Was Robotix the motorized one that you could build different working robots? I didn't have many of them, but those were pretty cool. Star Wars, GI Joe (which I didn't like as much as the things always fell apart too easy) and Transformers only interested me for a few years. I used to like setting up a MouseTrap-like set with figures and lego forts and vehicles that I could smash by setting off Mouse Trap mechanism with an elastic gun. Does anyone remember Crossbows and Catapults? that made for some cool stuff that could be easily destroyed, too.

It's hard to decide on one but I would have to say that I loved my matchbox cars a lot as a child. My slot racers were my pride and joy though. I had the one that you could mount on the wall and glowed in the dark and the USA trucking, that was the baddest, you could take your truck to go pick up a load of steel balls or gravel and then ship it to your destination. My easy bake oven was fun too..... Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that.

Forgot about the easy bake oven... it was also a a favorite of mine.

OMG you guys are crazy. Out of all those posts no one has mentioned the all powerful TEENAGE MUNTANT NIJA TURTLES. Come on people, i'm dissapointed in all of you. LOL i guess that might have been more recent though, i'm only 19.

Those creepy crawlers were cool when they first came out.

Matchbox cars were neat, but i liked my Power Wheel( i think thats what it was called) Those little batery operated cars that you coud drive.

I think i still have all my my tmnt figures. I had the large carrying case w/ 2 layeers and many compartments.

MK

YAY i'm not the only one on here. Yea but did you have their van? With included pizza thrower(one of those styrophome disk launchers)

i had all kinds of tmnt shit, my fav was donatello
