soccer ball, bike, roller skates... I was an active kid, can't recall any action figurines or miniature cars, though had building blocks and etch-a-sketch and comics; and many different kinds and sizes of balls to throw around and bounce so my fav would have been one ball or another

I love LEGOS.

SPACE set was my fave. I still eye the Star Wars sets in Lotte Mart with nostalgia Smile

@ Madoka-

those sets all look the same... what's the fun in that? Confused

Legos for sure. I spent hours on end building stuff. Then I moved onto K'nex, but it didn't have the same appeal to me.

For you lego fans, did you store all your legos in one big bucket, or keep them separate by box? I threw them all together. Made the real toy once, broke it apart soon there after, and just built whatever the hell I wanted. I always looked down on my friends who refused to build their own things...

I used to love those little colorform sets, with the plastic adhesive pieces that could be taken off and moved around on the board. My dad used to buy those for me on rainy days.

I also loved those ball/paddle things, you know the ones with the ball attached on an elastic string to the paddle? Damn, I was good, lol ... and the pick-up-jacks game too. I could've made a bundle on that ...

They were on clearance and were a really, really great buy. I bought all I could. If I were so inclined as to sell them today, I would make approximately. . . get out your haterade. . . $27,000 in profit. Laughing

Here's another pic from inside the car:

A stick. That's right, a long piece of wood. However, it wasn't just any ole stick. It measured almost 2 meters in length, from the best I can recall. I carried that stick everywhere I went. It had been given to me by my grandfather on my sixth birthday. That stick was like my shadow for the next 4 years, being the only toy I ever had, because my family was very poor. Then one cold winter evening, being lost in the woods while searching for mushrooms for the family dinner porridge, the fate of my stick came to rest. I struck the final match from the match-box and watched as my stick turned into a small burning campfire.

To this day, my eyes are still filled with tears when I think about my trusty ole stick.

At various times: pogs, chinese jump rope, devil sticks. I'm sure there were more that I can't remember now. Those were all when I was in elementary school.

That was hours of endless fun. My sister and I had to share and I remember fighting to the death for it.
