I remember playing with everything on your list.

Were you my next door neighbor? He had all the cool stuff.

"Were you my next door neighbor? He had all the cool stuff."

Yeah, that was me! On Gulley Road!

[Little Ray]

I had a lovely, full size, fully automatic, cap-firing Thompson SMG... Wish I could find another like it.

The glider for Major Matt Mason was cool, too.

But NOTHING beat the old GI Joes...

[PaulaB]

Yeah? But can you cook me up some bacon and some beans? Go out to the car and change the tire, wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans? Also, can you fill my pipe and then go fetch my slippers and then pour me up another pot of tea? Then put an other log on the fire and come and tell me why you're leaving me.

Yes
but need to see your pay stub first...
**LOL**
Sorry long in responding due to doctor has me at home to see if he can fix the problem the ole' fashion way.. ;)

[Maximus of Texas]

I hope they fix it soon. Hang in there!

[Mr. Mojo]

Hot Wheels, no doubt. Ran that orange track all over the house. Yellow starting gate (usually on top of a chair), loop-de-loops, banked turns, the works. Matchbox cars (which were the same size) seemed to be a little faster, though.

No girl toys made the list....HUH!!!

Betty Crocker Oven- made me the baker I am today!!!

Slime- except when my sister would smoosh it in my hair.

Slinky-Went through at least a dozen..darn things used to get "kinked" all the time..but lotsa fun!

Lincoln Logs- Okay, not sure what that did for me, but I liked 'em.

[Yaelle]

I am so proud to have the top 7 toys underfoot daily!

[Pyro7480]

I'm surprised no one mentioned the Red Ryder BB gun!

[Yaelle]

Clue HAS to be one of the best board games ever! We still love playing it!

Colonel Mustard in the Conservatory with the lead pipe!

What about at the end where you have to race to the spot where you make your accusation, and people see what you are doing and keep calling you into their rooms to slow you down (and beat you to it)?

[PaulaB]

I love CLUE...

in about 40 years when its time for the nursing home..
I'll be taking my curlers and CLUE ;)

[hiredhand]

You'll put your EYE out! Ha! Ha! :-)

Yeah...the Red Ryder was the greatest!

[Publius6961]

Betty Crocker Oven- made me the baker I am today!!!

Hmmmmmmm.

'Xplains a lot.
I've heard rumors.
From a hospital of all places!

[Publius6961]

I was quite the terror on three wheels! ,p>I understand you're every bit as bad on four...

[princess leah]

I don't know the name of it, but it was a ring you slipped your foot into and attached was a ball and a rope or plastic line about a foot long and you jump over this and try to to keep the ball going round and around. Man, we'd do this for hours with my sisters seeing who could run the count up the highest. Ah, the simplest pleasures of childhood!

[Dashing Dasher]

Why don't you ping me anymore?

[toydazed]

Man I'm desperately searching for an old boxing toy from the 70's. They were muscular boxers that came in a boxing ring, with controllers (Not Rockem Sockem). They had red noses I think, and if you hit the guy in the nose he would be knocked down. The toy came with a phongraph record which had crowd noise and an announcer I think. Way doper than rockem sockem, but so far only one other person in the world had this toy and knows what I'm talking about. HELLLLLP! Can't find it on Ebay either.
