TOYS you've played with

[Betarulz!]

Man how could I forget colorforms and pound puppies!!! those were great toys.

I must say that usually around Christmas time I recognize how cool toys are now adays, but I don't think I would trade the hi-tech toys for the ones I had when I was little. (Jeez I'm starting to sound old )

I just remembered those sticker things. They weren't permanent. You could re stick them and make up your own stories. I never had that many trasformers cuz I had one but kept breaking the so my parents said no more I forgot about popples and mask. Those were cool too. wow. Too bad my mom sold all my heman toys at a yard sale. Oh speaking of transformers, does anyone remember the one that was like a giant robot or something and turned into some kind of bug but then his head came off and it was a little guy inside there. HOLY CRAP!!! I just remembered Voltron. With the five lions that came together to be the protector of the universe. And thunder thunder thunder thunder cats!!!

aggieaxo: i too always wanted an easy bake oven when i was little.. i never would have thought to ask my parents for one now..but last xmas my middle little sister bought me one..i was so excited! i got to make chocolate chip cookies in my bedroom

Add some matchbox cars and you have my childhood. Shrinky Dinks were the bomb!

I was a tomboy. I mostly played with tonka trucks, hot wheels and matchbox cars. I hated baby dolls and Barbie. (Still do). But I had a Brooke Shields doll. She had a head and shoulders only. I loved putting makeup on her and styling her hair.

I had the chemistry set too! I remember begging my parents to get it for me (from Best for those who remember it) and then I played with it a total of 5 times or something.
Legos- I used to fight my brother for the pieces.. we never had enough
Rainbow Bright
Barbie- does anyone remember Peaches and Cream Barbie?
Jem- the cartoon; plese tell me someone remembers this!
My Little Pony
Fisher Price tape recorder- I loved that thing till I couldn't play it any more.

Here's my list

• MASK- I had one or two toys from this show, and had totally forgotten about it until Betarulz brought it up. That show did kick@ss.
• Carebears: I had a couple stuffed ones, but also the Care-A-Lot heart shaped house thing they lived in, the "action" figures to play with it, and the Cloud Keeper and his car.
• Strawberry Shortcake- had loads of the dolls. Don't know what happened to them though?
• He-Man- had a few toys, wanted more of them
• Lego's- my brother and I both loved Lego's. My sister never got into it. Until only a few years ago I even collected them (the original Pirate edition, which you can no longer get. One boat took me 3 days to get together!)<-- side note: all of you Lego fan's should read Douglas Coupland's Microserfs- he's a great author and there's lots of Lego references
• Colorforms
• Cabbage Patch Kids- I only kind of wanted one, but these were all the rage. And thebig thing was get a doll that looked like you. My first one was a black premie boy- didn't look much like me, but he was cute! My sister was more into those
• Stuffed animals: I used to set them up on the stairs, and we had this chalk board, so I would play school and "teach" them!
• Atari- well, it was my brother's, but man I loved Frogger!
• Snoopy Sno Cone Machine- ok, i wanted this so bad, but my mom wouldn't let me have one because by older brother had one and it only made a mess. We went round and round about that thing. Then, my sister's birthday (she was about 5-6), she got a Snoopy Cone Machine. And she hadn't even asked for it! I still have never had one of those things (My little had a similar experience with not being allowed to have Barbie dolls or an Easy Bake Oven- she bought both our freshman year of college!)
• Shrinky Dinks- I remember having Smurf ones and Strawberry Shortcake ones- those things stunk! But they were so fun.
• Candy Land- my mom claims that my brother and I cheated at this game all of the time, but I can't figure out how. I mean, you draw a card with a color, and move to that color. We must've been really sneaky.
• Trivial Pursuit (when I was a bit older)

Strawberry Shortcake
Sit and Spin
Rollerracers
Thundercats
Shera
My Little Pony

Those things were the best I still have mine.
