If you could have 1 toy from your childhood....

[Etcher Squared Games]

I just got done successfully bidding on a complete nice set of Constructicons.Ã,  These are the 6 green evil transformers that formed together to create Devastator (ooooooh).

For the longest time I have regreted losing track of my set.Ã,  And now, I will have them back.Ã,  This is the one toy from my childhood I have wanted for years.

So, if you could have something back from your childhood, what would it be?

The ones I just got are out of box, but I don't care, I want to play with them.Ã,  It would be nice to have a sealed set, but that would be much $$$$$$$

Share your childhood memories

priceless

I want my old Cobra fortress back. I loved GI-Joes.

[Kinoko]

I really did like my Voltron tiger toys, and my nice smelling My Little Ponies.

Really though? If I were ACTUALLY gonna get something back, I'd probably want my coleco and all the games (+ steering wheel). It was what started me with gaming so I owe it a lot.

[MrColossal]

awkwardly enough I have all the toys I've ever had from my childhood, it's all in the attic and basement at my parent's house.

Matchbox cars? Check.

Nintendo, Commodore, Sega, PC games and all of their boxes and instruction manuals? Check.

Power Glove? Hanging on my wall in the living room.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Army Ants and M.U.S.C.L.E Men and M.A.S.K. and Constructs? Check!

Police Academy action figures? Check, SADLY!

Of all the toys out there that I don't have that I totally want it would have to be Soundwave from Transformers.

He is and always will be the coolest of the cool.

My little army set -- I had hundreds of little soldiers and tanks and jeeps.

Man I have fond memories of those ...

[Nine Toes]

My He-Man figures.  I had so many of them, I had one guy who was made of moss, and another guy who looked like a skunk and smelled really bad, and another guy who could turn into a rock (looking back, some of those character concepts are really hokey).

I don't have any pics, but I found a page with all of them listed here.

[Mr Jake]

I want my tracey island + scale vehicles.

[AlbinoPanther]

We allways wanted to meet Guybrush and be part of MI games. 8)

[Anarcho]

I wish I had all of my old computer games WITH packaging.  I think I've lost most of the boxes to mildew and flooding.

[Pet Terry]

My 8-bit Nintendo pirate clone console.

...actually, I still have it, but it's broken. I also want back the Snes I never had.

[Arboris]

Damn thats a nice one Worm I also was (and still am) a transformer fan.

I always wished i had Defensor complete as kid (i owned most of it, but was missing Blades and streetwise)

DEFENSOR IN ALL OF ITS GLORY !

I wish i still had all my LEGO's from when i was younger. I used to have a box full of them and i used to build with them all of the time.

I remember trying to build Walt Disney World with them. It was too bad that i didn't have enough pieces, so i only ended up with the main gate and part of Main Street U.S.A.

My aunt works for LEGO, maybe i could give her a call. 

oh, and one more odd ball toy that my parents bought me for christmas when i was little.  It was the JAWS game. It had a plastic JAWS (the shark) with little plastic pieces of garbage in his mouth and you had to pull them out with something (can't remember), but if you touched the inside or side of his mouth, his jaw would close shut, scaring the crap out of me. It was similar to Operation i guess.

he he, i just found it on the net...here is JAWS, the game

[Evil]

Yeah, I still have most of my toys too. But my favorite toys were my lego. I've got two, 6 gallon tubs full of lego as well as about 30 large scale sets still in their boxes, in the back of my closet.

I used to have a Sega Genisis, but I traded it in for a playstation. Stupid me! >_<

All this talk makes me want to go play with my toys...

[PaulSC]

I almost never throw anything I like away, so I (or more accurately, my parents) still have most of them stored away somewhere.

But if there's one I'm constantly tempted to get out for my adult use, it'd have to be Crossbows and Catapults - the most flamboyantly destructive childrens toy ever! It's like lego for people who like both vikings and blowing stuff to pieces. Which is everyone, surely?

[Paper Carnival]

I used to have a toy that had lot of different robot/vehicle parts.. And you could use them and your imagination to create all sorts of robots/vehicles. It was so awesome, I was crazy about it. I also loved my legos and play-mobiles, as well as all the other make-your-own-constructions toys.

Now I don't have any of it...

[sedriss]

Well.. if I could'nt have my c64, then I'd pick the robots my grandmom gave me when I was about 3.

A word of advice to all of you when you go and buy the one toy you miss from your childhood.

Call parents FIRST to see if they still have it.

I was 100% sure my parents got rid of all my transformers.
So, like I said, about 3 days ago I got a bid for a full constructicons set.

I called my parents today on some stuff and whimsically asked
"Still got our transformers?"
mom "Lemme hand you to your dad"
dad "Lemme see here"
"I see a green cement mixer"Ã,  (1 / 6)
"I see a crane" (2 / 6)
"I see a green plow" 3/6
"a dump truck" 4/6
"a green builddozer like but on wheels not treads" 5/6
"and a green digger" 6/6
me thinking "d'oh"
me "what about a Head?"Ã, 
dad " check"
"purple connector piece?Ã,  green plate?Ã,  v shape chest plate? "Ã,  (wow i remember all this)
dad "check on everything"
me "what else is in there"
dad:
"a really big tank " (i think that's omegas one?)
"a semi truck" (optimus prime)
"a tape recorder" (shockwave)
"a grey f-15 jet"Ã,  (star scream)

and a few others I forgot I had....

I hit the mother load
I now have TWO full sets of devestators and more

[esper]

I liked Starscream, for whatever reason... His voice was the most annoying of all. Shockwave was cool, too, but I never knew WHAT the hell he was saying...

Anyway, does anyone remember this... They were (I think) from a TV show that only lasted a quarter of an episode... There were three (to the best of my knowledge) really big mutant monsters... One looked like the Rancor from Star Wars, one was like Toxie from the toxic crusaders only more like a t-rex, and then there was this really foul muhfuggah that looked like a zombie version of Barney the dinosaur... His name was D'Compose, or D'Spayre, or something like that. I've been looking on Ebay for them but they are nowhere to be found.
