Other Favourite Toys growing up ( and now )

Been having abit of a clearout and found some of my toys from when I was a kid.

Gota say finding my old lego sets and star wars figures has brought back memories lol.

So what was everyones favorite toys growing up?

Mine would be a hard choice between transformers and Lego but if i had to choose one It would probably be the lego star wars sets.... combined my two fav things lego and star wars lol

 

Lego. Lego. Lego. Lego. Lego. Lego. Lego. Lego.

My kids will have the same education in building blocks too.

 

Oh God yes lego! Sometimes I'm temped to use it now

When I was clearing out the garage I found all my old beyblades- God they're valuable niw!

 

Duplo, Scalextrix, Lego. Well, Technic or however you spelled it.

I then moved onto my dads Meccano as he has a billion tons of it.

 

Lego are for babies

Meccano F T W

 

lol I see a general trend of Lego or some form of construction toy lol

If I ever have kids and once they're old enough to be trust to not swallow or insert lego bricks up there nose they're gona get a massive truck load of lego from my parents attic

 

Lego and my sister's barbies ( i used to torture them)

 

Lego all the way, tried meccano, preferred Lego
Sadly my brother wasn't as interested, and he grew up (well, he's 15 now) on games consoles, which I think is really sad

 

And you haven't disowned him yet? For shame sir!

 

Oh yeah I forgot, my grandpa had LOADS of mechanno, I still use it!

 

The original US version of mechanno - The Erector Set. I still have one from the 1950s!

ERECTOR
"The World's Greatest Toy"

That gave me a chuckle...

 

Lego, Lego Technic, and my PlayStation (I was only allowed two hours of Crash Bandicoot a week).

 

As most others; LEGO

For some reason mecchano (??) wasn't widely available around here. Some shops had some small sets, but few bought them because they were expensive and not as popular.

 

Lego, Meccano, Sticklebricks, Scalextric, Star Wars, Manta Force, Transformers, Sinclair Spectrum, Dragon 32, Commodore 64, Raleigh Budgie/Striker/Chopper/Grifter/Burner.

Trying to remember what else lol

 

Of course you did Neal We all know you used to like dressing her up really, admit it lol

 

Couldn't have said it better!

I've recently been snooping around for the sort of monster technic sets that my parents wouldn't buy me as a kid because they were too expensive - just have the "Silver Champion" F1 car at the moment, not sure what's next on the hit list.

 

Tamiya Hornet.....fast little bugger.

 

Lego! I see we all loved Lego. Ok, so what did everyone have?

I had Blacktron Future Generation, Spyrius and Aquanaughts!

 

I'd all of the star wars sets up to attack of the clones.

Also had insectizoids, and ice planet one and aquanaughts as well.

I miss being a kid lol
