    Default Best Childhood Toy?

    Got this idea after seeing Jmetz post on his watergun.

    Whats you best childhood toy? Mine was the GI Joes action figures I think the first one I ever received was Stryker. Man the wars I had against Cobra were epic.

    I loved my GI Joes, cousin had the carrier and we would go crazy every family event. I also had a bunch of the old Robotech toys and they were fantastic. Then I graduated to Super Soakers and Nerf guns.

    Mine was a plastic M14 with spring loaded cartridges and magazine my mom got from G.E.M.
    And then the cousin gave me a cap powered muzzle loader that shot cork balls.

    Oh the nostalgia!
    I spent hours upon hours with my hotwheels/matchbox cars. I used to get a set of Jango blocks, and build garages and what not. Good times.

    Evil Knieval toys, crank powered stunt cycle, sky cycle, stadium cycle, had them all.

    Bicycles, like stated, freedom and opportunity to copy Evil Knieval. Plenty of incidents of bloody and broken. One summer in particular Mom actually tried to ban bicycles.

    Little green army men, fire crackers and magnifying glass.

    Guns, 22 lever single shot, dad used to let me get it out and clean it on Sunday afternoon while we watched John Wayne westerns on TV and 410 bolt(not toys but still made made childhood great).

    I remember those, I had the Mogambo Hunting rifle set and later on the Johnny Seven OMA, it even fired various projectiles: bullets and rockets, grenades. I had a Mattel Tommy Burst which was a full auto cap gun and a lever action that you loaded a bullet into a cartridge case under spring pressure and it shot it across the room and at 10 feet would punch a hole through a paper target. Terrific toys for sure.

    Books are food. My Erector set was my most used toy. I spent as much time devouring books as I did playing with the Erector set.
