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.
So! I'm not the only one who remembers these. After the Transformers movie came out, I would joke, "When is the Go Bots movie coming out?" to which people replied, "What are Go Bots?" 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?
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.pogs....
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.
legos and k'nex pretty much made my childhood (anyone else build that k'nex coaster with the loop in it? :P)
marble works
transformers
hot wheels (i had a bunch of really old, metal ones that were fun to smash into eachother)
and then all those crazy few month long collecting fads that were around when i was in like 4th grade....ohhh crazy bones...haha
*Insert epic sig 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
This is my favorite toy "Defender Dan"

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![]()
POLY POCKETS!
Ohhhh the memories come back...
