What toys did you love ?

[Tojo72]

The other thread got me thinking,what toys did you especially enjoy as a kid ? It could be a big spread as all the different age groups had their favorites.

Gi Joe figures 12 inch figures
Tudor electric football game actually had quite a few different teams
Kenner girder and panel construction sets
Marx Fort Apache. Always wanted the Alamo set
Any kind of plastic soldiers and equipment
Lincoln logs

Probably a lot more but I can't think of all of them

My models..

Seriously, I didn't really have those types of toys, I build models from as early as I can remember.

And Hotwheels. And the HO trainset, which added the need to model...

In no particular order, my Happy Time Farm set, Lincoln Logs, plastic soldiers (all eras), G.I. Joes, Hot Wheels, Major Matt Mason, my army/marine gear, my secret agent stuff (including The U.N.C.L.E. gun), Daniel Boone frontier outfit my mom made(Including coonskin cap from South Dakota) and then PLASTIC MODELS!!

As a kid I was hooked on these MATCHBOX soldiers in 1/72 or 1/76 scale.
I even painted the little guys in HUMBROL paints.Did also some first steps in modelling with their range of 1/76 tanks back then.

Sometimes me and my friends did battles with them,and did use fire-crackers to blow up tanks and soldiers. [ofcourse our parents did NOT know this part of the fire-crackers....we would have got some big punishment]
