What was your favorite toy?
Mine is the Y-Wing from Star Wars. I still have it with the bomb on the bottom.

I had some of those when I was very little. I had a blast with this:

Legos of course before all the crazy pieces

Chemistry Sets that always caused someone getting burned

I don't remember that but that other thing that made bugs out of a mold, like an EZ Bake Oven for boys that made worms and roaches

Creepy Crawlers was the name, I think. I had it, and it was awesome, but it was the older model. Plug that thing in and it's a wide-open hot plate that got HOT. Safety? Hah! It most certainly was no ****ing EZ Bake oven. We burned many a finger making those critters.

The Thingmaker! I just remembered that name.

[Rain Man]

Thinking Man's Football and football cards were both fun and both got me into football and stats.



I remember getting my very first pack of football cards. A couple of the guys in that pack were Verlon Biggs and Brig Owens, with these very cards (or exact duplicates).

I was at Target tonight, (finishing up Christmas shopping), and toys today are CRAP! Seriously.

So, there I was, looking for a G.I. Joe for my son, (4 y/o), and they only had 1 character. WTF? Where in the hell are the other ones? (Btw, yes, I played with G.I. Joes when I was younger. Scarlett was my favorite, of course.). Oh, and Hungry, Hungry Hippo... what a disappointment now. It's way smaller and, I'm not sure, but I think the balls are just plastic, not marbles, (like the original).

The toy manufactures are idiots and just producing crap.
