Komeiji Koishi Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Legos- specifically Bionicles. Also lightsabers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I still play with Lego, I'm working on a new, grand project. I still love the transformers, especially the earlier ones, if I see G1 transformers playing on the Retro channel, I turn that shit on.

Ein Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Bionicle were the best thing ever. I made some kind of six-headed Raksha or whatever those snake things were called. A light and dark bug thing with some kind of larva. And a normal sized gold and evil guy using the updated original Bionicle figures with the armor and new weapons. I should go buy them again.

MacLovin Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) I loved action figures, figurines, legos/building toys and that hot wheels set that you hooked to walls and doors and went for as long as you wanted. Transformers were my favorite although I only had a few. Pokemon figurines were kind of a thing for me when I was 8. And I loved those green army men and that bag of gold/silver plastic knights you could get at the dollar tree. I'd put them in postions on a fort of lincoln logs and make a seige tower of tinkertoys fighting the massive lego borg-thing I used to create and then Batman crashed the party in a battery controlled missile spewing batmobile. Oh and I also got an R/C tank when I was a kid. Fun times since it had foam missiles. It was probobly every 8-11 yr olds wet dream that wasn't a video game until broke it at the age of 13 in an incident involving rednecks and molotov cocktails. For some reason, I acquired two old action figures of Chuck Norris and Mr. T when I was a kid and always sent then ramming human-cannonball style out of large slingshots and my friends and I broke several Ancient Ming vases.

Excellen Browning Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 I have this glorious idea for when I'm not a student anymore and a working man. I'll buy a big set of some construction set and will take it to with me to a christmas party every year. As soon as conversation goes stale, we break out the toys.

Esau of Isaac Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 The only toys I play with these days are ones that get wet. Heh. Heh. Heh. Anyways, when I was a kid, I loved Power Rangers a lot. Used to love Megazords. Really I liked vehicles and things you could put together more than anything. I remember loving that Lego X-Wing set as a kid. I used to always play with it, and over time when it was repeatedly broken because I have a little brother I would try and put it back together but with less and less parts until eventually it was somehow lost. I have to walk by the Lego section when heading to the back registers at work, and every time I do so I contemplate buying one of the sets for old time's sake. But I'm too embarrassed to ever bother. I may watch girly Japanese cartoons but that's where I draw the line man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
