What Was Your Favorite Childhood Toy?

oh yeah, had a pillowcase full of Legos

never cut open Stretch Armstrong

 

i never got to have a BMX bike with the mag wheels, mine was this that i later painted black and put knobbies on



with a new seat and handlebars, of course

 

when you let it freeze them smash on driveway it explodes into lots of blue chunks, too

 

My Big Wheel. Which was great for riding down the BIG hill in my grandmother's back yard (I lived with her during the week). Position it at the top, give a push, move your legs out of the way (VERY important!), avoid the trees (also VERY important!) and enjoy the ride. I also had something called the Scrambler with 6 wheels that was also fun to ride down that hill--with that one, steering was not an option. I only almost went over the 7 foot drop into the creek at the end of the yard once.
The creek was my second favorite toy! Wet, muddy, crayfish crawling around in the water, paradise!

 

The bannana seat!! HA I remember those. Pretty comfy too!
I had a mongoose for awhile. Fun bike! Got me in loads of dirt/mud then back home at dusk for my "hose down" from mom.

Note: not mine but similar.

 

along with the big wheel i had one of these vomit inducing rides.



while my younger sister was riding her InchWorm

 

Hot Wheels Semi Truck car carrier!!! this is the exact one:

It holds about 9 cars, 4 on bottom, 4 on top level, and one in the truck itself. I carried this with me where ever i went.

My other favorite was a little red toolbox that my grandfather gave me, It was only a cheap wally world socket set in it and a cheap red tool box but I slept with it for two weeks according to granddad.

 

I wanted one of those real bad....

 

I had the wooden logs, Lincoln Logs, and the red plastic bricks, then I had a Norad Radar Set. Funny to think about now after the Air Force and all this time in my construction career. Hmmm.

 

I was just thinking how I carried around those hot wheels all the time and now I work with Race cars* and Truck Parts (coordinating Jobber stores to our Warehouse Distributers)

Edit: *Race car parts

 

YARD DARTS with the metal tipped ends.

 

hell, yeah!

we used to throw them straight up as high as we could and dodge them as they came down
