Top 3 Favorite Toys From Your Childhood

Postby Tomulator » Wed Apr 07, 2010 6:29 am

I'll begin...

1) Marx action figures (Noble Knights in particular)
2) Evel Knievel stunt cycle
3) Electric football set

I'm feeling "nostalgic" for some reason today...

8)

Mine used to steal Oreos and the occasional apple pie from the kitchen counter. Or at least thats what I tried to tell my mother. She never fell for it.

My brother and I loved playing outside, loved my bikes, loved skateboarding, loved climbing trees. How I didn't break any bones as a child I'll never know, there were definitely more than a few times where I should have, lol.

Wow. I bet you couldn't put this list to a kid nowadays huh? They don't go biking, climbing trees nor do they even go outside, unless it's a trip to Blockbuster for a new video game.

Ahh.. the good ole' days. I remember LIVING outside.. bike riding, climbing trees, swimming/beach. Everything was outdoors for me.
Although there were not very many options, I lived in Miami and we had no A/C in the house. It was actually cooler outside. :lol: :D

Broken bones? Yup.. right arm, in PE at school... no less. :shock:

Sadly true! We make ours go outside when the weather isn't storming or insanely hot (which unfortunately is coming here very soon :x ). It's funny though, their favorite toys inside are pretty much the same as ours were back then too, lol, like Legos, son LOVES them, and daughter loves My Little Pony, lol.

Legos are a BITCH to step on though! :x :lol:
