I really wanted Gak. It was this goo from Nickelodeon. I did something wrong, and my punishment was that I was forbidden from EVER having Gak. To make matters worse, my little sister had some and she used to play with it in front of me. My dad still teases me about it. With hindsight, silly putty was much cooler, but I really wanted it at the time.

What were those things that you put them on some sort of peg and heated them and they melted into a plastic piece of whatever...
And plastic canvas...
Other than that anything that resembled a firearam/sword was instant fun.
And Tiger electronic LED handheld games |

| Barbi, Shrinky Dinks, and a bike. Oh, and my swing set. I got the biggest, coolest swing set in the neighborhood the year my dad's business took off. It had 2 swings, rings, a type of gymnastic bar, and MONKEY BARS! |

| A stick. |
A stick, oh you were a lucky one. I would only dream of having a stick. My family could never afford it. For my 6th birthday I was given a stone. A grey rugged stone the size of a small mouse. Of course I wouldn't get the stone unconditionally, first I had to work in the coal mines for 3 weeks to earn the rock. Oh how I would love that rock. I used to imagine the rock was a knight in shining armour, he was the hero of every legend. I used to keep it in my hand every night while sleeping. Then one day while I was working in the coal mines a bear attacked. It was either the stone or my life and I threw the stone at the bear to save my own life. I am still shameful of what I did, but it distracted the bear long enough for me to escape. I went back every day to search for the stone, but it was nowhere to be found. The bear must have swallowed it, thus I am still searching in the woods and hope I will one day find it again.
In all seriousness though. My dad made me a bow once which was basically just a stick and a string, and it was also one of my favourite toys. I used to play with it even after the string broke :p |

I had a stuffed owl that I liked. My older brother had a stuffed bear. Usually on saturday mornings we would roleplay with them, until my brother got too old for that. He got into space lego. I was still in love with my owl, so for a while we would pit his lego army against my owl, as if it were a monster space beast. When that phase ended, we climbed trees and battled those kids from the other end of the neighbourhood. It was fairly hardcore, guerilla style, through the forest. I remember throwing stones at them, even. They were older and bigger; one time they caught me, punched me in the stomach a few times, and called me a Hindu . . . Those were the days.
During the tree-climbing phase we also went around attacking bees' nests and getting stung like mad. |

1) a toy gun that had a flint and stone in it so when you kept pulling the trigger, sparks would fly through it
2) the complete Star Wars set, housed in a Darth Vader mask which would be worth a massive amount of money these days
3) Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr LCD games
4) Totem-tennis, awesome backyard game and for down the summer beach house
5) my BMX, used to take it down the local track and jump over my mates with it
6) KerPlunk |

I remember that, I had a friend who had one and I dreamed about it for 3 days.
I also forgot, the hooded Cobra Commander (1980's). The one you had to mail in some form to get. |

My favourite toy was... ball in a cup!
Who needs constant electronic video stimulation when there's Ball in a Cup, Mexico's favorite toy for over 340 years! Toss the ball, catch it in the cup, dump it out of the cup, toss it, and catch it in the cup again. The ball is on a string and attached to the cup, so there's no worry if you don't catch the ball in the cup, and clean-up is as easy as catching a ball in a cup! So why spend another day not catching a ball in a cup when you could be catching a ball in a cup?
Sometime I used to be worried if I didnt catch the ball...
but it's okay because the ball is on a string and attached to the cup!
