lostmario Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 With Christmas on the horizon and all the toy adverts now appearing none stop on tv, what were your favourite set of toys as a kid? I've recently been selling all my old toys that were in my parents loft but found one set of toys in a box that I couldn't part with, I had too many memories playing with them, I had to get them out of the loft and put them on display. Let the nostalgia wars begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroicjanitor Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Stretch Armstrong! Until my friend decided to see just how stretchy he was he was my favourite by a mile. He could stretch you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro_Link Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) ZOIDS for me. Coolest toys ever! I absolutley LOVED Zoids!!! Edited October 29, 2010 by Retro_Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazza Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I forgot all about Starcom! They were so cool, the way they moved using buttons and magnets, especially the Shadowbat (although I think I just had one of the smaller ones). I loved anything with moving parts. PS - Looks like the Tri-Force on their wings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diageo Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 My toys never had brands, they were just random figurines and teddy bears and such, This was by far my favourite though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Am, what instantly comes to mind are wrestling toys, I had like all of them! Some power ranger stuff, buzz lightyear , cheap pokémon merchandise and I think I had an obsession with an Ariel doll when I was younger :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Maybe not my favourite but worth a mention: We still have it. Although 15+ years in the attic means it now says "Nzz zdnas bazznaszz" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnieboy Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Oh god i used to love k'nex! Had boxes full of the stuff. I also had those micro machine vehicles that folded out into a town where you could drive around the micro machine cars. But alas my mother never kept things, she sold them. Including the k'nex, micro machines and a gameboy colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Whoa, this is some seriously nostalgic stuff in here. Starcom, Zoids, retro Turtles... I think you guys pretty much covered a lot of mine already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Odwin Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I'm about 10 years older than most of you guys so mine haven't been covered. I loved my He-Man figures, my transformer figures (especially Jazz) and my Star Wars figures (especially my X-Wing and my Boba Fett). More broadly, my childhood also featured my BMX (Raleigh BMX bike of the year 1985) rather heavily and my Spectrum 48k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Yes! My collection was no way near as extensive as that, but I had the ring and some of those figures. The ring was awesome, with its buttons. "one-one-one-one-on-on-o-o-o-one two three" lol. Stretch Armstrong! Yes! Although I had the Ninja one.

ReZourceman Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Those Batman toys were fucking sick. I loved playing with those. I only had two though; (Edit, wrong one initially posted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 RAPPORT. Those were the EXACT two Batmen I thought about when I considered posting some Batmen. But I had quite a few. I had the "ninja/knight star" Robin to match the gold Batman, as well (my only Robin, until they released the animated Tim Drake one). EDIT: You changed the pictures. The one you had originally is the Batman I was thinking of posting. I also loved my and I remember when I was 3 or 4, I dropped Catwoman's net down into a below-ground housing area place and couldn't get it back.

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I remember the Turtles action figures, and Lego was always a hit, but ... My toys never had brands, they were just random figurines and teddy bears and such, This was by far my favourite though. ... THIS takes the prize! I LOVE stuffed toys (still have a bunch of them - there's even still a few in my room), and my Pikachu was and is undeniably my favourite. He's sitting on my shelf, pretty dirty and worn from the many years I've had him, and I'd probably be pretty devastated if something happened to him.

Jonnas Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) Beast Wars! Man, there was something awesome about robots who transformed into animals. Especially that one where the Lion, the Elephant and the Eagle could combine: Which reminds me of... Too awesome. I loved the Megazords, but the White Tiger was my favourite by far. EDIT: Also, I second the Knex and Legos. "Builder" toys let your imagination run wild like no other. Edited November 1, 2010 by Jonnas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Which reminds me of... Too awesome. I loved the Megazords, but the White Tiger was my favourite by far. Yep, White Tiger was indeed awesome!! Though Dragonzord FTW!! Of the Zords I think had Megazord, Dragonzord, White Tigerzord and can't quite remember or not whether I had Red Dragonzord Thunderzord but I think I did. Also had the Power Rangers Power Gun/Sword and Power Morpher... It's MORPHIN' TIME!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
