    I could rock some Capsela or K'nex.
    And Construx! I couldn't remember the name of them, but I rocked the crap out of Construx.

    I had this blue bear with a music box inside given to me by my great grandma. That bear went everywhere with me probably longer than it should have growing up. But a couple years back I was moving boxes out of the old moms house and found out that she saved him. Spent a good deal of cash getting him cleaned and music box inside if him working again.

    Now my son can't nap/sleep/go anywhere without the blue bear. Feels good to see him with it.

    Saw this posted one day and reminds me so much of the situation.

    The entire purpose behind POGS was to hoard the **** out of cardboard colorful cut-outs.

    The video game I bought from stores that were closing around when GameStop came around....kudos to me since I bought them each for $5 and they are currently selling on eBay for $50 per game without the case and around $120 plus for them with the box. Investment HOOOOOOOO

    Barbie. So I could chop all their hair off and paint their faces with pens into something completely unrecognizable.

    I just had a conversation with my brother about what his kids wanted for Christmas this year. The kids are between 7 and 12 and they all want some sort of electronic device. It got me thinking about the toys I really loved when I was young, and my Lite-Brite has to be at the top of that list. What was yours?

    my bb gun.

    What was your favorite book? My aunt bought me the entire Nancy Drew collection when I was about 7 or 8 I think.

    Holy pogs batman! I forgot about those things. I was obsessed with them in 7th grade. Then some scrawny kid stole mine. My friend was holding them and he pushed her down, so I beat him up lol I didn't play with pogs much after that. He killed the fun for me.

    When I was younger though I much preferred trees or the canal behind my house. The ocean, my bike. Anything to be outside for hours on end.

    After watching toy soldiers ALL my toys were my favourite. I made sure to treat them all very nicely, equal opportunities for play time and cuddles.

    But if I had to pick my barbies were my all time fave.
