    Hot wheels and the playskool bigfoot had one as a kid have 8 now. Damn I love ebay!
    Bigfoot, the real one, is right up the street from me.
    Dude I was just there last saturday! Anytime I'm in STL I have to stop and look around. I would even live in one of the trailors behind the shop!

    Barbies for sure! I also collected Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles hehe.
    Lego!
    And for some reason, when I was little with my cousin (And I was recently just reminded of this) our favorite game was trying to flush ourselves down the toilet, to "Go visit the Little Mermaid"...I was an imaginative child, hahaha.

    We were so poor, we couldn't afford a dog so I had to tie a ribbon to a hair brush and pull it behind me.

    We were so poor, that when I complained about not having toys, my mom took out a pair of scizzors , cut off the bottom of my pants pocket and then said, "Now you've got something to play with...

    And actually from age 12 to about 21, that was my very favorite toy..

    Ditto Barbie, for the fashions. I had a redhead "Scottish Barbie" from FAO Schwartz that is still in my attic somewhere. Also Hello Kitty (an obsession that continues to this day). Also, this big squishy octopus that was filled with gel that you could mold into different shapes.

    The game HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS!! When I was about 4 or 5, but I was a scandalous little kid, I used to put something underneath it to tilt the board just a little so all the marbles would go to my hippo. My twin was none the wiser, he just thought I was a champion hippo!

    I loved my BeeGees record player. It had a strobe light and a microphone.
    Barbie all day.
    I had the kitchen thing too (that thing was so big) and I would play beauty shop with the sink!
    I loved kiddie makeup (remember the brush on peel off nail polish?)
    The simon game
    UNO!!!


    Most of all, my favorite toy was the laundry cord that I cut in half to make a double dutch rope.

    Taxi cab goes beep beep beep, let me see you move to the rhythm of the beat! One two, pump up the volume, three fo' get the bald headed hoe. Five six, get up on this. Seven eight don't hesitate. Nine ten let's do it again!! George Washington was a good old man, he jumped out the window with his d**k in his hand, he said excuse me miss I don't mean to cuss but pull down your panties and stick out your butt!

    I think my love of rap started with double dutch!!

    Eyeliner and charisma go a long way!

    I also loved Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Bright! LOL...I just found those little story records I had as a kid...I'm going to record them to CD and play them for my daughter.

    Oh, I also loved the Care Bears (the original ones)...used to watch that cartoon faithfully all the time.

    The other thing I loved was my Big Red Big Wheel...had a horn and those little thingys that hang off the handle bars. I remember when my parents bought me that, I said, "NOW...I go places." LOL I felt like I rode my bike to the end of the earth and back everyday.

    LOL Venus!

    I had a little Strawberry Shortcake doll that when you squeezed her tummy, the scent of strawberries would come out of her mouth.. lol.. I probably still have it at my Mother's house. I'm a total packrat, and never get rid of anything!

    The BigWheel that I stole.. er.. My brother "gave" me, was an Incredible Hulk one, that I already mentioned. What was so cool about it, was it had a little "shifter" thing on the side, and when you pulled it, you popped a wheely! It was sooooo much fun!

    I had the same doll!! I still have it...however, her breath smells like she hasn't brushed her teeth in a few years. I have about 15 boxes of stored dolls in my mom's attic. One of these days I'll bring them out, clean them up and give them to my little girl.

    oooooo.. favorite toys. This is a tough one.

    Definitely legos, transforms, playdough and silly puddy top the list. I also had these toys called "battle beasts" which I spent hours with. I even used them to create a cheesy animated flick with my parent's camera that I still have to this day. Took me 5 hours to film a 5 minute video, but it was worth it. It still brings laughs to my friends and family to this day.

    *sigh* how I loved the age of innocence and abundant free time

    Seriously..we were so poor, we had to play with old masonry bricks. We built little forts and castles with real bricks and dropped them on our feet all the time. We had chickens, pigs, a calf, and a couple goats. Those were our "toys." Well, we had bikes. We would crash into each other and do dumb stuff. Ah, kids.

    I had my Barbies and Cabbage Patch Dolls. I also had my Easy Bake Oven and Play Doh. I never had a Jem doll but I had Barbie and the Rockers and a Barbie toilet that flushed when you lifted up the lid. I'd put lemonade in mine.

    I was pre-Lego, so Lincoln Logs, an erector set, and later my huffy clunker of a bicycle that weighed more than I did.

    Funny but erector sets have been mentioned almost as many times as barbies.

    And FBR, I had a secondhand Red Ryder BBgun--a handmedown from my dad. I bet it would be worth a bundle now.

    I was definitely a Legos kid as well. I learned the barter system with Legos in fact. I'd be building something and needed a certain piece I didn't have so I'd call my friends around the neighborhood and say, "I'll trade you one of your wide long flat ones for four of my rectangular ones with eight dots on top."

    One of my FAVORITE toys when I was a kid...probably about 12 or 13, was a toy called a Stinger Stick. I think it was on the market for only a few weeks before it was yanked off the shelves so I was probably only one of a few people who owned one. Basically, it was a low-voltage cattle prod. For a Dennis-The-Mennace type of kid, this was neighborhood pay-dirt. It was a 2 foot long tube with two prongs on the end. You'd push a button and tap your friends and ZAP!!!! In and of itself, this wasn't a big deal. What we did with them though was duct-tape them to the top of a big squirt gun and bend the prongs down and to a point over the muzzle of the gun. So when we'd shoot the squirt gun, the electricity would travel down the stream of water and would hurt when you got shot with the squirt gun. Clever eh? This worked great of course, until you ran out of water and then got your butt kicked but hey, it was all good wholesome fun!

    Erector set My favorite for most of my childhood. Never the same toy twice. I built everything from cranes, planes, trains, to roller coasters with my erector set when I was a kid.
