Current Events > Which toys were your fave growing up?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Lets not count vidya games.

I always wanted more Transformers, but my parents were kinda broke so I had more GI Joes, which were cheaper. I never had any of the bases or anything. I did have Snake Eyes at one point, and Duke.

My muthafuckin' Power Rangers action figures and Megazords.

I had the one from In Space and it was the coolest shit ever. Then the neighbor kid stole the Zord's head piece and lost it, and I never convinced my parents he had taken it. That shit's why I'm so mad all the time.

Mighty Max

Used to love those, guess my mom kept at least one and now my kid plays with it.

He's got a lot of my old shit, mostly Legos and ninja turtles.

Has to the TMNT action figures. Without question.
---

Star Wars figures and vehicles

Lego, tons of this!
---

I had the power rangers movie version zords. They came together to form the megazord definitely my most favorite as a kid. Also tons of ninja turtles, Star Wars, and Rc truck that shot missiles. Forgot the name.

Also dragon flys I think? The boy version of those fairy spinners that girls had. You have them on small base which was a dragon, you pull the tail and the riders head spins with these wings and they fly up. Had a smaller green dragon and a huge red dragon both with riders of course.

Ninja Turtles
Power Rangers
Beast Wars
Dragon Ball Z
Bionicles

I also liked K'NEX
---

Gundam model kits.

This, but with an exception for Lego and its Bionicles. I loved those toys.

G.I. Joes

Everything else paled in comparison.

K'nex

I had Legos too but the K'nex were much more my style. They had gears and rods and had much better options for making stuff that moves.

Lego made a response to K'nex called Texhnix or something but I was pretty familiar with the K'nex when they came out so I mostly still played with those. That said, Technix did have some legit pieces that K'nex never did, like worm gears and rack 'n pinion parts that I certainly played around with.

I had no idea what to do for the "make a model of a cell" for high school biology, so as a last resort I made it out of K'nex. One of those moments where I was grateful to my younger self years later.

In high school I used K'nex to make a rat trap car for physics class.

Hot Wheels
Legos
Street Sharks >_>

G.I. Joes and what was then WWF action figures

Hot Wheels

Oh man, Hot Wheels were up there for me too. My older vrother was a huge car guy (and still is) so I inherited all his Hot Wheels, instead of having the cheaper Matchbox cars. I did have a few of those too, though.

I would make tracks up and down the hallway and use some of the other toys to prop them up since I never had one of the official ramps. It was actually pretty hard to make them land on the normal track pieces instead of one of those funnel pieces.
