Well Christmas is almost upon us and we get tons of toy and game ads. Made me wonder about toys when i was a kid. (the thread by Internetchick made me think of this) Why don't you bring up some of yours!
the legos were already mentioned. and lets see there are still lincoln logs, but have you seen an erector set?
when i was little had the GI Joe but he always hung out with Daniel Boone for some reason. I liked the TV show so i even had the coonskin cap and the fake rifle. (no big worries about toy guns then)
and i only mention the last one, Girder and Panel because original sets are selling for hundreds of dollars. crazy!
and this too. this is one of the first James Bond 007 Aston Martin cars with all the gadjets, hubcab spinners, machine gun etc. I remember getting that one Christmas and recently saw one like it on eBay for over $500! no still don't have it.
So do you have any toys you fondly remember from you childhood?

Magnadoodle! I remember going through so many of them because me and my brother would be so careless and always step on them breaking the screen.
I can't find the original one but this is good enough.
Shaker Makers! Again, this is obviously a newer version but I had one with cats. It gave you a powder and you mix it with water to form a liquid and you put it in the mould and shake it or something and allow it to dry and then you could paint them after.
Polly Pockets. Self explanatory. None of the houses and add-ons they sell now.
And then those usual dolls that you can feel them and then you would have to burp it.
A lot of the times Christmas would consist of my brother getting a new video game for his N64 and then us spending the morning playing it!
Cabbage Patch... The OG from the very first Christmas they came out... My aunt fought the crowd for one... Mine was named Adelia Heather, and she was blonde and had leg warmers.

i had a wooden train set that i sadly played with untill i was like ten my brother had a creepy crawlers, and i had an easy bake oven but we both used his creepy crawler machine more often. we always played with tinker toys, but i remember my brother would always steal all the conector pieces and only leave me with one or two so my creations were usually kinda pathetic
yup me and my brother had one of thsee... except that ours was broken and one of the heads would pop up if you got to into the game.
i had really pathetic toys actually cause i grew up in the 90's
i had a furbie too... and it scared the crap out of me, and the only person who could get it to shut up was my brother. and it would wake me up in the middle of the night even though i would turn it to face the wall, it would start talking. i do not know why i liked that thing so much

I totally remember the kissing Barbie! We had the Barbie camper van- and just about every Barbie (we are 4 girls)
My favorite Barbie was Magic Moves, she used to raise her arms up and down like she was modeling.
My Cabbage Patch Kid that I also got when the craze hit, she was a baldy with pink & white pj's and her name was Christina Doreen.
OMG I completely forgot about Lisa Frank Stickers, man I used to be obsessed with those things.
I remember the Furby but it scared me as well. I had the Little Ponies, the gloworm, the Casio magic diary, and I was crazy about the Giga Pets, I think that's what they were called. They're like tamagotchi but I can't remember how many times it sick on me lol

omg Tamagotchi's! I went through so many of those too, 1 fell into the pool, 1 i spilt coke on it, etc. I still have mine! stored away of course! But I remember school banned them so for my creature to not die my mom had to take it to work and made her feed it every 2 hours or something!
What a cute thread! I had some typical 80's stuff that the others have already mentioned; like Rainbow Brite, My Little Pony, and Care Bears toys. But, I had more action figures than anything.
