When I went shopping for my nephew, I noticed a lot of toys my brother and I had as kids came back or remained one of the staples. Then on another board, the subject of PlayDoh and Legos came up.

So what were some of your favorite toys when you were a kid?

Probably nobody has heard of or remembers Billy Blastoff.
You can find those toys on eBay and that's about it now.

Battle Tops was always fun. Some company tried to bring them back a few years ago with 'new' twists, but the darn things didn't work at all... :geez:

As I got older, I found that strip Twister with Crisco and a strobe light was a fun party game. :laughout:

I had Barbie dolls, but I didn't play with them too much. My brother used to take them and take them apart. Then when I got the one with the bendable joints, he did surgery on it to see what made them bend. I didn't much care. Barbie dolls were not my thing.

I had the Strawberry Shortcake doll and her little friends, little Smurf figurines, tons of books and board games, Lego's, but I liked my crayons, markers, colored pencils, paints and all that artsy stuff the best. I was always drawing, painting, or coloring something. I had a ton of stuffed animals too that I tucked into bed with me every night.
