Anyways, what was your favourite toy as a child (leaving aside 40kofc)
Mine was undoubtedly Lego, nothing came close, so many hours spent making castles and ships and towns and fighting battles, all sorts.
A decent second had to be the Mask series of toys, the way they changed shape and type was actually ingenious and imo were of a much better quality then transformers.
3rd I'll give it to the He-Man series, I had a great collection when I was younger, awesome fun beating each other up with them

By 1-irt: Still as long as Hissy keeps showing up this is one of the most entertaining threads ever.
So... Lego, etc... G.I.Joe was nice but Wrex was a broke kid with no time for such destructive silliness... but my uncle made movies involving G.I.Joe's and firecrackers... so you know where I am coming from.
Honestly though, and this will sound very strange. I liked sharp things, they demanded my respect. I like archery, knives, and construction with power tools. The day that Wrex gets in a fight with a power tool, is the day that Wrex loses a finger. Can't fight em... can't do it... not possible... must find RPG... must take tactical advantage... .
If I could time travel once and only for a day, it would be to invent LEGO and them come back to riches.
I too played with LEGO way to much. Id make WW2 replica vehicles lol. Man I was a nerd. I also played with various action figures and guns. Guns are fun, and now my son loves guns.
.....and what clasess as 'lego' these days really isn't Lego should be bricks to make things with. Lego sets on the shelves these days are more like toys that come in a few parts. IMHO anyways.
How can you not love the classic TMNT toys? Ah, the carefree days of childhood...and throwing pizzas!

Congratulations, your dismissive and conclusory commentary has provided nothing to this discussion or the wider community on whose behalf you arrogantly presume to speak nor does it engage in any meaningful way the remark it lamely targets. But you did manage to gain experience points toward your next level of internet tough guy.

Damn! You beat me to it! That thing was THE BEST!!!! Me and my friend both had it and when we got 10+ we would set them up across his yard and fight it out using his Red Ryder BB gun. Ah, the memories!
Other than this, Legos were king as so many have mentioned. I also really liked the 11 inch GI Joes when I was much younger. I also seem to remember multiple variations of the 11" doll, eh, er I mean action figure. Cowboys and all sorts of other stuff.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.
