When I was younger, I had to have almost anything. Today that's to a way lesser degree. Most toys I didn't play with, but most of these ones I listed I did play with. Some of them I still do, but some listed are on display in my room.

Mines were:
Playmobils
Legos (hadn't much of these at home, but there were plenty of them at my child minder's. I still love them)
Puzzles
Music boxes.
My brother's microscop and Spyrographs.


My parents gave me dolls and Barbies when I was little, but that was not my cup of tea. Seeing that I loved dinosaurs, they gave me dinosaurs figurines, but I hated them because they were not like they should have been. ie: stegosaurs had big sharp carnivors' teeth, and a figurine labelled "tyranosaur" had three fingers on its forelimbs. Nonsense!

• lego
• zaks (little interlocking square and triangular panels)
• spyrograph
• microscope
• marbles and a frisbee (frisbee had a conic indentation and I would build towers of marbles using it as a base)
• tops and a box lid (spin tops in lid, tilt lid to get tops to collide)
• paper airplanes
• beads and plastic tubing (I would fire the beads out of the tubing)
• crayons (they melt really nicely under a 60W bulb, but it is not nice trying to get the wax out of the carpet)

As a child, I remember liking to draw a lot. Come to think of it, I think I was slightly obsessive in what I drew: picture after picture of spiders, mites, and other insects I'd seen. I also liked Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Ghostbusters, and Transformers action figures and Hot Wheels. I also recall playing with Duplos and such things. I remember my brother and I used to build laser guns out of Duplos and have shootouts. With Linkin' Logs, we'd build rival forts and have battles against one another.
