My favorite toy was my Meccano collection which I added to over many years and spent a lot of time building models of cars and aeroplanes. I never wanted to take them apart again.
At times we didn't need toys - climbing trees and jumping rivers were good enough for us! However favourites included Space hopper, swingball, Chopper bike and skateboard (first time around!) But the Action Man with moving eagle eyes was the tops - his helicopter and snow camoflage were pretty cool too!
Wow ! This got my mind racin back to the good old days ! i'v gotta be honest, my favorite toy as a kid had to be my box of lego blocks !! i used to spend hours and hours building castles and houses and other such stuff ... i used to love them. Infact my mom and dad still have all of it so that when ever they have people over the kids can play with it !
I cant wait for my child to be born so i can relive my youth and build my favorite things !!
Also, when i was 16 my dad gave me an action man that i had been messing around with in a charity shop ! my friends thought it was brilliant, so did i 🙂 the good old days ....
It has got to be Scaletrix, my parents still have it in their loft. Will get it out for my LOs in about 5yrs time. Still remember finding it under their bed a couple of days prior to christmas and my brother and me being overcome with anticipation.
Also had these two red telephones with the dials - no buttons back then 🙂
They took the super large batteries - think it was a double C or double D battery. Anyone remember anything like that.
that's funny, scalectrix was me and my brother's fave too!
one of my dad's friends worked for BT so he gave me an old phone once, you know one with the dial and i used to love taking it to bits and putting it back together.
maybe we had similar childhoods man? 😆
I used to love my BMX Bike had lots of fum on it.
My favourite toy was my Grifter bike. My dad taught me to ride it and I absolutely loved it. It was like a tank on two wheels! 🙂
