    Lego, transformers, TMNT, Go-bots, slinky, skip-it (never owned one but played it), marble works, view masters, duh, pogs....

    Seriously I must stop. I could spend the rest of the day on this thread.

And there was no way of getting them to remember. I was starting to think I made it up in my head along with the theme song, "Mighty robots, mighty vehicles, Go Bots."

    I had totally forgotten about that until you mentioned it. I remember having a set, but being disappointed when I went to the library and finding out they had a set that had a dozen different pieces that I didn't have. Where did you go about getting a set with all the pieces? Was it a deluxe set?

    pogs....
    Shut up. Pogs aren't gone. I still have my book of pogs. They'll be back any day now. They're only on a short hiatus while they come up with new designs. Pogs are way too cool to disappear forever. Soon, your collectibles stores will be selling pogs once again. And I will be able to get thousands of dollars for my collection if I decide to sell. But I won't sell.

    But.... But.... But, does anyone remember Alphie? No one? I'm certain I didn't make it up.

    Well....

    Maybe I did. And maybe I made up Go Bots too, and PG is just a figment of my imagination set up to further the illusion that I didn't.

    i played with sex toys
    The lance strikes when it sees fit
    Cutting the bonds of the ones we love
    In time all shall dissapear
    Leaving mass disillusion and despair
    Some will find comfort in faith
    Struck by unbeheld horrors
    Somewhat the vision of a wraith
    We all lose the ones we love,the ones we didnt, and the ones we never got the chance to love
    But if it wasnt for this lance, striking down its prey
    The most beautiful emotion of all would be forever hidden
    Sorrow...

    I can't imagine how screwed up and unfulfilling your childhood must have been for you.

    Go down to City Hall, and turn in your "I get to live" voucher this instant. A life without Legos is fail. By the way, people, the plural of Lego is LEGOS. With an S, because you spell it like it sounds. No Jesus rule applied here.

    I remember nothing of my childhood so I have no idea what toys I had.
    The messenger is standing at the gate
    Ready to let go
    Ready for the crush
    Too late for whispers
    Too late for the blush
    The past is mercy
    When the future is aglow

    My favourite toy by far was Playmobils!
    I spent countless hours playing with them...I couldn't wait for summer to come so i could take them with me to my parents farm,and play with them outside.

    legos was awsome.. i use to make huge castles and play out huge battles with lots of mideavil armies.

    and then when i grew older i made the armies star wars like.. because you have to go with your time you know ^__^

    but the battle and stories i played in my mind while playing with lego could probably trump the LOTR movies

    i had a big imagination
