[Closed] Toys you had as a child and still have, and sometimes play with,

My ding-a-ling.

A waddingtons board game 'escape the valley of the dinosaurs', some wooden toys my grandad made, although I look at them rather than play with them. I got off eBay some old games consoles too, Master System etc.

Lego.....

Bikes.....

Best thing is my kids are now old enough to have fun toys of their own. We just had to buy one of these the other day for my 3 year old.

well actually we had to buy a pack of two....how else can you have a gun battle without two guns, otherwise it's just an execution.

Jacko the monkey, a large soft toy, with gripping hands,

You sick ****er. How tight do his gripping hands grip?

Scalextric

lego technics, buy one new model every year

Never really had toys as a kid, pretty much a ball and a bike but i did have a few board games

It helps having a five year old, but my old Hornby railway and Mamod steam engines have come out of storage now.

His hands are formed by a metal wire inside to form a sort of grip or hook type finger/hand, thus you can hang him up.

Oh and theyre non adjustable, and very small.

I still have this, http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=8860-1

A miniature Intercity 125 and a miniature country to fill up your bedroom with is a thing of joy....

As is a miniature four lane Nurburgring in your bedroom. Especially when racing miniature Mini Metros!

Bastard scum removal blokes nicked my Intercity 125 train set. 😥

Still got me old teddies, don't 'play' with them but can't ever part with them.

Found a load of old legos in me mum's recently; brought them all home.

Several hours later, I'd reconstructed many of the sets what I'd had, including the castle:

So do I; must rebuild it.

Seeing Subbuteo made me laugh, had the test cricket, absolutely rubbish, ended up going back to" Risk " and playing it for another two years without ever reading the instructions, amazing how you can make up your own game and carry on playing it.Happy Days!!

trailmonkey, is that a Dukla Prague Away Kit?

I know, it's villa, or wham, or maybe burrrnlee

Anyone else love Games Workshop? Blood Bowl was my favorite.

And i also loved Warhammer 40,000.

And not forgetting Space Hulk.

I spent ages painting all the miniatures and vehicles instead of doing school homework. While listening to Unity 88.4 pirate radio station (Classic London hardcore rave radio).
Maybe i should have done my homework and i'd now have a descent job! Oh well....

Blood bowl... Seeing the box brings back memories. I used to love painting those figures but was never too keen on the actual games. I got a few of my minatures in 'White dwarf' once, some jungle fighters and a female assassin with a big ponytail.

Now that brings it all back!
