Do you ever miss playing with toys?

Post Reply New Topic

I still play with toys, and I'm hoping to win some lottery, so that I can buy a house, that has a play room, so that I can buy, a whole bunch of cool boy toys, like robots and related things.

I don't play with my old toys, but I still have all of them and sometimes I miss the good old days of carefree childhood. But to be honest my current toys are just a bit more expensive

Well no, I mostly played video games.

Still do :3

I do kinda wonder what effect playing video games so often had on me playing with toys, and if that contributed to me getting bored with them. Heck, that could offer an answer to why I'm missing my toys now, I haven't played a lot of video games lately, mostly because I haven't gotten any new ones in a while. That may not be a coincidence. I just wish I hadn't already gotten rid of them all. I especially miss my Karate Fighters.

I don't miss playing with toys but I do it for my daughter. I miss childhood but not toys.

I miss playing with toys, but if someone gave me a load of toys to play with now, I wouldn't be interested. LOL

But I do miss being a child and just playing with my toys on the floor. But I think that's normal in everyone - we all miss being a child and we all have precious memories of our toys, and somewhere in everyone's homes there is always an old childhood toy kept safe somewhere.

Might be off-topic here but when people are small children they never really appreciate it, but when we grow up we all really wish we did appreciate it when we still were children. I threw the typical toddler tantrums when I was a toddler, and was typically demanding and awkward as a child, and now I look back and think why didn't I just stop demanding, look around at all the adults and think, ''there's all these adults with all their stressful lives with relationships and work, and they've all got to be all normal and behave all grown-up, and here I am an innocent little kid and having the freedom to act however I want, also without having all those responsibilities! Now, let me run over there by that fence and climb and leap about on it.....''

I still play with toys...but like a couple of other posters stated, they are just a lot more expensive now.

You know, companies like MacFarlane toys is marketed to and targeting adult toy consumers as is most game oriented merchandising.

I still own all my original Star Wars action figures. I still collect toys. I love building with blocks. I still color in coloring books even though I have an art degree. I'm not sure there is a reason to stop.

i just changed toys early I guess, mind you i thought that the apple IIe was a toy, the older sinclare was too, but it was a toy that constantly broke and had to be fixed, so it was less fun,

I miss playing with toys - it's all part of childhood, a time when you didn't have to worry about the stresses of being an adult and where you were still capable of playing with toys in such a way that scenarios were far more realistic.

I still have marbles, if I can get my hands on Lego and Plasticine I'll play with it, I would happily buy Barbie dolls or the occasional toy, and a few years ago I used to still colour in colouring books as a form of stress relief - but it's just not the same as what it is during your childhood, it's totally normal to miss that.

I don't miss it. My inner child has been out of service for a while now.

Sometimes. I have no room in my apartment so I don't buy much. Now that I have a kid, I am looking forward to buying them.

I miss the old toys from my childhood. Toys these days seem to have gotten lame and the Littlest Pet Shop animals look like little sluts because they changed their looks. I also noticed the decrease in Barbie and Kelly dolls and where's Skipper and Stacie? I was hoping with Bratz dolls being banned, there be increase in Barbies again but there isn't. I remember a whole aisle of them but now it's like half the aisle or 1/4 of it.

I still have lot of my toys from when I was a kid. Those old Polly Pockets and Barbie stuff, my parents sold my doll house my grandfather and dad made me when I was six. I still have my puzzles and board games but my parents had to toss out some of our old games and puzzles because they got all moldy from the weather. They were left out in the grainary in a box and outside weather got in so they got wet and molded them. So I don't know what is left. I still have my books too but lost some of them after the move to Montana.

My brothers still have lot of their old toys too and books and games. Sometimes I miss those old times.

I'm still playing. The toys are different now.

I have a three year old boy, so I'm lucky enough to be able to play with cool stuff everyday. Thankfully he has an imagination!!
Even before him, I never really gave up my old hobbies or interests since I was a kid. I've kinda always been in my own bubble, and it's only recently that I'm learning how different I really was/am.

Sometimes. Only when something reminds me of something I enjoyed doing when I was younger. I don't usually wish I was still a kid, but if I'm in a store and I see something that looks like something I played with or wanted, or if I'm going through my closet and find an old collection of mine, or if I just happen to hear a theme song from a video game I played, I can't help but want to relive the experience.

But yea, I still am a kid at heart though. All I really want to do is play with stuff - and I do, just in different ways than before. Instead of building cities out of lego blocks, I make maps for strategy games with cities in them. Instead of playing with little cars, I pick up a controller and drive around in GT5. Instead of going to the library and reading books, I browse the internet. Instead of wishing I had the latest hot wheels set, I wish I could afford an i7 with 12GB RAM and three GeForce GTX 590's in SLI, and of course a real nice SSD, case, and liquid cooling.
