I came across an old Creepy Crawlers commercial on youtube that spawned a series of memories about toys from my childhood.. post images of some of your favorite childhood playthings!

The only good thing to come out of that series; huge-assed robots that make even bigger robots.

Also, I had pogs. Was in southern CA at the time, everyone had pogs.

Lego, Micro Machines, and Matchbox cars were my favourites.

Also Voltron. I had to share with by brother to form Voltron, but boy was it worth it.

My mate Tom had Voltron. Good, but it wasn't OPTIMUS PRIME.

That and I have buttloads of Lego, Transformers and so much Starcom.

All of the above + Star Wars Action Figures (which are now all but melted or destroyed, and passed down to my sister.)

Mighty Max, Lego, Lego Technik, Transformers, Micro machines.

Mighty Max was ace. I still think the Magus model was one of the most amazingly compact, innovative toys I ever saw: One giant scary lava/rock action figure thing that opened out into several vehicles, machines, spring-loaded launchers, more smaller monster figures and mighty max himself with a couple of side-kicks. I used to play with it all day.

Oh man... I grew out of toys right around the pokemon card era. I had some of the first ones (actually I think that book I had of the original 150 cards is still buried in the closet at my moms house). I think I had 148 of all 150. Meh...

I had all those TNMT sets. The giant sphere. The sewers. I remember the mat used to come off the bed. :psyduck:
2008-04-02, 1:44 PM #21
Oh, the fun to be had with the Turtles pizza throwing machine. It always jammed up after a few shots, though.
Besides this and the sewers I also had a parachute, that was nice. It was an art, folding it correctly.

My favorite toys growing up were always legos and erector sets. I still wish I had a huge erector set, I'd make so much cool stuff.

I was a 90's child.
Interesting back story, when we got this game (I was 6) i was in special reading classes simply because i didn't give an *** about reading. A year after getting this game i had read 6 Star Wars novels. The game got me interested in books, Star Wars, Computers, Video Games, Modding, and basicly made me the nerd i am today.

If pc games are part of your childhood memories I feel sorry for you.

Wait, no I don't.

EVERYONE POINT AND LAUGH.
nope.

Pc games are part of mine...ignoring some of the old dos games we had on 5" floppy disks (actually floppy. FUN.) I remember later we had a Pentium 1 which I would play Nascar Racing and Jetfighter II on all the time. Good times!

YES! I had both of those. The pizza thrower was awesome because, well, it's a pizza thrower. The Technodrome enjoyed a lot of time with non-turtles toys, from Star Wars to dinosaurs.

It's awesome! I've still got it, the plan is to hand it on to my kids. The best part are the spring-loaded cannons, they fire little leggo bricks a surprisingly long way :ninja:

All the above TMNT toys + the Blimp.

GI Joe was the toy of choice otherwise.
I have rubbermaid bins full of the figures, the Headquarters, The Marauder Chopper, A Jet (that had like a joystick grip underneath that made rocket sounds!), A Jeep that was practically indestructible (it went down the stairs on a regular basis), a tank that seated like 10 figures and shot the big nerf missiles...

Oh and Lego.

I had all of the above mentioned TMNT toys including the Car with the wheels that turned sideway. Also had probably most of the original action figures.

The only thing that really stands out in my memory is LEGO. I remember when I first got a Mindstorms kit, I was ecstatic!
