What Were Some of Your Favorite Toys?

Post by _Doctor Steuss »

In the Christmas thread, there were a few great little adverts posted by Blixa, of toys from Christmas past. Filled this feller with some toasty nostalgia thinking about some of my past Christmas gifts. So, what were some of your favorites, and/or most memorable?

One of my favorites:

Not a toy, but certainly the best gift I ever received for Christmas as a child. A Crossman pellet rifle.

I still have it in a closet somewhere.

LEGO. Any LEGO. I had this set and I LOVED the garage doors. They were the coolest LEGO ever.

Tinker Toy's were one of my favorites also.....

My other favorite was a plastic toy gun that you could load like 20 plastic "disks" in it, and shoot it like a real gun.
(ah, it was a Disk Gun or Tracer Gun, pic below)

Sadly liberals "banned" that toy, like they ban everything, cause "can't have plastic disks flying through the air and maybe hit kids eyes".

by the way, did you know liberals banned "Lawn Darts"?
Did you also know they banned "Cork Guns"?
Did you also know they banned the "Slip n Slide" (the original)?
