What Toys did/do you play with?

OMG! PLAYDOUGH WAS AWESOME. THAT AND SILLY PUTTY!

Peter Griffin loves em to but Lois only gives him mega blocks & they are NOT the same thing

I once did an essay on legos for my business class. It was the easiest thing I ever did.

DEATH TO ALL LEGOS KNOCK OFF BRANDS!! ! Legos is the first! Legos is the original! Such great plastic!

I liked cloth dolls and stuffed animals. They were soft and good for hugging. I loved my Powerpuff Girls dolls, Bubbles was my favorite because she was like me. Happy, sensitive, blonde hair, blue eyes and loves adorableness.

I loved remote controlled toys (I had wonderful tank) and construction toys. And puzzles.

There weren't too many store bought toys around in my family when I was a kid. We were resourceful kiddies and made hobby horses out of sticks and stuffed socks. Dress-ups from a box of rags was another game my siblings and I played together.

Most of the time we played with the horses (real ones) which I dreaded because I was the only one who couldn't seem to stay, balanced, on horse back. I would always fall off...meh. I hated playing games together with them anyway.

I have fond memories of the times I got to play by myself, with the coins in my money box. I didn't care how much money I had. It was the games I played with the coins that I enjoyed. I used to sort them and line them up and roll them and spin them. I still like coins in that strange kind of way.

Wow, a lot of lego fans here!

* legos, especially the kits that had gears and universal joints and such
* tinker toys
* hot wheels & plastic track
* pellet gun
* sling shot
* train set (nothing fancy)
* computer, once I had one

The only ones I can think of that are close to "girly" were:

* stuffed green rabbit
* stuffed bean bag turtle
* other stuffed animals

But then it's not as if my parents would've bought me a barbie or a pink unicorn with glitter on it.

As far as poisoning (LOL), I've probably got above average levels of tin & lead from years of soldering since age 11. But not enough for poisoning (so far). Probably also have a lot of organic solvents dissolved in my flesh/brain. I loved watching plexi-glass (acrylic) dissolve in acetone. Exploding empty soda bottles with a can of ether and model rocket igniters was fun, too.

I dunno, I kind of always felt like that but there were no girls in the neighborhood when I was a kid. No sisters either, so there were no girls or "girl stuff" around at all.

When I was young...

Transformers
Legos
TMNT figures
Power Ranger Zords
Star Trek models

Stuffed animals and Beanie Babies!

Does anyone remember these things?

As a kid it was like a roll of the dice as to where and what I would be living with and what weird thing was next

A lot of people seem to have played with the same stuff
there are things listed I have no idea what they are


I lived with some 'line nazis' and many that had no plan paper..


... gonna make some of us feel old

Thanks for not disappointing me!



You are the male me..
For me it was that the girls, were.. well girls. They made no sense, they screeched and
thought dolls pee, they wanted really babies and to get married.. Do children still do that?



Nooo.. action figures you don't blow up or cut open to see if they have the correct parts to pee with..




Not sure if your joking or not about the lesbian in a mans body.. I have known other males that say that jokingly
and males say I was more of a guy then they are..



Same thing happens with straight females, well with me at least. I really hate shopping, never been married and have no spawn. I have been called in for "a tour of duty' as a wingman, cockblocker and a fly on the wall in the ladies room. Women are suppose to have 3.7 kids if older and single and expect to have a ring in a couple months time, not have a sex drive, be against prostitution and ..have some weird attraction to silverbacks. I worked with prostitutes, I drove for a escort agency, have no weird attraction to silverbacks, a sex drive, no kids and no ring wanted.

Society sucks there is no doubt about that.



Any idea what it was called?
How big?
Pieces the size of records?





I was starting to think I was the last one alive that played with this kind of stuff. What were you soldering?
Pinching tubing for freon then using to break things?
Ever make anything with the cameras.. the ones with the flash, strobes zapies?

Ohh better yet, you must be around my age (pellet gun and sling ) Does a building set that sounds like girdles and beans sound familiar?

Or Boom balls?

I never really played with toys, but I did enjoy drawing. Not sure if that counts...

I'm NOT joking. I think if I had a woman's body; I could realte to women a lot better than guys. People think I'm gay sometimes but I'm attracted to women & I am NOT attracted to guys so I'm NOT gay but I wish I could be cuz it would be a lot easier for me to find a partner if I was. Women who want partners like me are gay but I don't have a chance with em cuz I'm physically a guy The only people who are attracted to me are homosexual guys

I forgot to mention that I also liked TMNT action figures & I also liked collecting different things but I'm not not into that anymore. I got rid of all that years ago. Only stuff I still have are the legos & they've been picked up quite a long time

I was never really into toys, but I did have Lego sets, and Lincoln Logs. As a toddler, my favorite was a stuffed puppy with a music box mechanism inside. Honestly, I was only fascinated with the mechanism. By age 6 or 7, I was awqy from childrens' toys and intested in playing with things like clocks, radios, and technical things that I could take apart and put together, and figure out why they work and how they do what they do. By age 13, I had an after-school job at a TV repair shop and was learning electronics repair. From then on, TV sets were my toys...

I used to play so much with my toys even at the age of 16, still playing with my soft toys really to pretend its WWE.
I have a very big imaginations, I'm half the times still playing inside my imaginations leaving me to just daydream and stare into space.
