-Atari
-Lego
-Marbles
-De-Barking trees (not exactly a toy, but neither is a hairthrower, if you think about it)
-Hitting stuff with a hammer
-Digging holes
-Hammering nails into my dad's work bench, then stretching rubber bands around them
-Stuffed Animal Politics/City (me and my siblings made our animals talked, and we'd hold elections and stuff to decide who was the best)
-Swap meet (ok, this only happened once, but my brother made our toy room into a store that I could sell stuff to. I sold my small Lego set for 2$, but when my mom found out, she made him give me back my Legos, but I got to keep the money. Ah, to be little and cute, again)
-Carnivals (we'd make up and set up various games and have various stands in a carnival type atmosphere)
-One of those spring horses (like a wooden horse, except with springs)
-Hot Wheels/Matchbox

A wood labyrinth, approximately like this one: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51G9RG997CL._AA280_.jpg
Also liked: Hungry hungry hippo (singing microphone hippo,) and speak-n-spell. Atari 5600.
Always wanted, but never got: The Green Machine. They've revived it recently, but it's crap by comparison.
Originally posted by SJ247I always wanted a Big Wheel and never got one (similar to The Green Machine). I still haven't quite gotten over it. 😳 Bought one for my son though, because nobody's the boss of me anymore!

I wasn't big into toys but I did love my Barbie. She was a lawyer with a penthouse. 😀
My favorite toys growing up were Transformers. The Destructacons were the best, especially when you combined them all.

Originally posted by SunburntYeah it is. I was quite surprised when the Transformers movie came out (which I still need to see). Next thing you know, there were tons of commericals for them. The Death Star even turns into Darth Vader.

The dinosaur transformers were cool, too.
