i had a few, but these stand out.

i fought lots of battles with my box of these:

i got all of the originals when they movie came out in 1977. wish i had them now in box and in mint condition. i suspect they'd be worth something to collectors.

this made the school bus rides fun.

    Probably my Barbie dolls and their accessories (like the Dream House and pool). My parents still have all of my toys in their attic...worth something today? Maybe...

    In Kindergarten this girl was waving a My Little Pony around by it's tail and it smacked me in the head pretty badly. I hated those things after that experience.

    I've always been quite the nerd (and maybe a bit of tomboy) so I loved my Rubik's Cube, Tinker Toys, Lincoln Logs, and Erector Set :) (I guess I played with my share of Barbie too)

    I have most of the Jurassic Park/Lost World toys still in a box in my parents attic. Need to get those, clean them up and give them to my son. Oh with my toys, I would get logs and stuff from outside, bring them in and make like little terrariums for the dinos and play with them that way.

    I also had some TMNT toys that had a ribbed pull thing that you stuck in their shell and pulled out and they talked.

    Oh and my remote control 4-wheel monster truck. I drove that thing till it literally broke.

    Yeah, I was not your typical girl growing up....>.> Yes I am straight, married and have a kid. LOL I just happen to really love all the actual COOL toys which were 99% boy toys.

    Ohhhh and I was also Michelangelo for Halloween one year!! :D

    Yeah, we were really into those. And we collected Bazooka Joe comics (from the gum), so we could send away for spy gear, to spy on our neighbors to make sure they were not plotting to take over the world.

    I had an older sister who often took my funner toys so on the whole I would have to say my very favorite toy was a plastic lifting spatula called spatula Bob. Spatula Bob had awesome adventures until one day he was mistaken for a common kitchen spatula and mistreated causing some melting to his spatula head. He was half-heartedly replaced by my father by a green spatula I named Spatula Sue. Spatula Bob had trust issues after his disfigurement so his relationship with Sue was tense and never evolved fully. They both retired to the utensil drawer and ultimately became inanimate.

    I was a child in the 50's. I don't remember any" toys" from my childhood, at all. I remember playing in the creek, catching snakes, toads, frogs, butterflies, once a muskrat, swinging on a rope over a creek or from the hayloft, riding my bike or my pony, building a fort in the woods, playing with and caring for the ducks, geese, peafowl and pheasants that my dad raised, flying a kite with my dad, and going hunting with my dad.. I had cousins who wore dresses and played with dolls. I always thought that was such a waste of time.....I've never played with a doll in my life, or wanted to.
