Wait, is this about Toys? like action figures or something right?

I love toys! yes i'm an adult but I can't resist legos or transformers! they're fun.
I'd call myself a collector but I still play with them so, not sure what else to say.

there was alot of things I couldn't afford as a kid, so I have them now.

My grandfather and I would build boats, We were limited by a lack of tools and radio control parts.
Its the main reason I have
16 rc cars/trucks, 2 boats, 1 heli and 1 plane.
AND a complete workshop

not to mention video games were not invented yet

I have a bunch of LEGOs & matchbox cars all purchased since I was 30.
I don't really "play" with them often, most of my spare time is spent playing video games. But sometimes, I'll build something with the legos, or zoom a matchbox around on the desk :)

ASD or NT... you need to keep that inner child alive. Too many adults do themselves a great injustice by not allowing themselves to play like a kid.

You should see the collection of stuffed animals my 68 year old mother has.

I have a set of wooden blocks, a Davey Crockett wallet (with real fur "coonskin" cap!) and, from a little later, my collection of 45 rpm records. About once a year I play some of the records.

Since childhood I've acquired quite a few paper toys and popup books, mostly reprints of antiques, that I make up into a Christmas display.

I guess I should be more specific I'm talking more about action figures and not model boats or kites or anything else related.

Man...Toys...what great way to pass time as a kid...unfortunately adults playing with toys is...um immature...But the toys I wish I had were the MASK vehicles that could transform from one vehicule to another and the action figure came with a mask, which each character had a special power.

The toy I miss most is the French train called "TGV." Since it was from the 80s, it was orange and silver. It looked so realistic and I had so much fun just staring at it going around and around. But when I moved, it was thrown away. :( :cry:

I plan to purchase one when I have more money.
