Favorite Toy as a Kid

[Creeper]

Anybody remember these? I used to like playing with these sets, but mine came without the panels. All you got was a bunch of girders that fit together and you could construct square buildings. Some sets had cranes you would hand crank. Also, we used to play with "Erector Sets" which were metal parts that you screwed together with tiny screws and nuts.

I think action figures started with my generation, especially the marketing tie-ins. Star Wars to He-Man to Transformers to GI Joe. Trading with the neighborhood kids to go with whatever I enjoyed most at Movies/TV/Comics. Then it was all bikes — BMX to Free Style with the start of video games and Nintendo/Sega’s success. Mix in some team sports and trading cards…. Looking back, I guess it was a well-adjusted childhood.

Doesn't ring a bell here {born in 64} does look very interesting though.

While not my favorites, I enjoyed Erector sets. I never hear anyone speak of them though when talking of toys they had:

For me

I had the full collection of Evil Knivel toys. Van and all. Wish I had kept them.

I just paid more for two fresh batteries than the game cost back in the day. It still works! ^^^^^ 7.99 a piece for two 9V batteries.

GI Joes - had some crazy battles in the days. Parents got me the Space Station for Christmas - still my favorite Christmas present ever. Took forever to put together with all the stickers...but so worth it.
