When you were growing up what was your favorite toy that you got?

Mine was the Barbie town house complete with elevator, I also had the Barbie pool, Barbie airplane, Barbie car, etc. I loved that thing

I had a toy hutch. The doors of the toy box were chalk boards, and it had bookshelves built on top. I used to spend hours playing school. I also had a toy register and would play store a lot. :wah:

I used to love playing with Barbies. That was back when they had the fun ones that you could dye their hair, or push a button to make their hair longer and shorter.

Mr O goes to charity shops and buys teddys for them but as soon as they've ripped the eyes out, the nose off and pulled all the stuffing out, they leave them:wah:

I had a christmas tree angel that was passed down in the family from great grand-mothers. It had been in the family for 200 years and my old Alsation ate it :yh_rotfl

We had all those things. Barbie world. My parents used to have a pool table in their basement and we would set up the entire Barbie world on it...so much fun. I also used to love playing with the Fisher Price little people sets...remember back then they were wooden peeps:wah:

I still have my favourite toy. A tin plate robot that walked slowly across the kitchen floor. The cat was terrified of it

When I were a very young lad, my dream was to own a Johnny 7.

It was a rifle that performed 7 different tasks.

grenade launcher etc

I never got one and would never buy such a thing for my kids/grandkids. Not the right sort of thing to be a toy

I would only buy one for collector purposes

At least yours is slightly more appealling than Mr O's collection of antique ABU fishing reels. Yawn Yawn :wah:

Do you remember trogs????? I loved them.
