Favourite toy as a child

Jump to newest

After a discussion I had with a friend last night in which we got on about our youth, the subject of favourite toys or games we had when we were younger. I recall a try I had called a Sonic Ear. It was a huge gun like thing with a kind of satellite dish on the end, earphones in and when you pressed the trigger you could hear conversations from a bit of a distance. Eventually got it taken off me when I quoted things my mam talked about with friends haha

So what was your favourite toy, game or pastime from your youth?

Starwars was s big thing for me to collect.

But, my best toy was my BMX. I loved that thing, a black mongoose was the envy of all my mates, matching hemline to with a fave gaurd, (a proper safety geek ). It was after the BMX bandits film was out that I got it, remember a young Nicole Kidman?

There and to the left a bit

On balance probably my Lego - and I'm not talking the current stuff where everything is moulded to shapes that can only make one thing - this was a huge box of bricks of various shapes and sizes that you could let your imagination run wild with. I used to spend hours making things and even had a Lego chess set I made displayed in the local toy shop window.

Honourable mentions though to Action Man, Dinky/Corgi/Matchbox cars, Airfix kits and various board games

Lego and something similar called stickleback i think. Always wanted mechano but it was too expensive for my parents to buy me sadly. Also had lots of little toy cars. We had a carpet that was stuck in the 70's! It had squares with little channels in between. These made great "roads"

Think you mean Sticklebricks - had lots of pointy prongs that stuck together.

Never really got into Meccano was always too much of a fiddle compared to Lego

Probably Scalextric. We had a toy shop in town and whenever I’d saved enough pocket money I would go and spend it all in this crammed little shop.

I had a Raleigh Striker then a Grifter bike just as the BMX craze was starting, the Grifter had gears, was faster and more comfortable too but it just wasn’t as cool or desirable. That’s probably been my role model for my life

My friend had a Mongoose, I had the Raleigh Burner super tuff, gold plastic coated oval frame & mag wheels. I met Andy Ruffell once.

Polly Pockets - I mean the proper ones, where Polly was the height of a fingernail, not the massive things they have nowadays - and Barbies.

My grandpa made me a gorgeous doll house and all the furniture to go with it when I was around seven years old, that's in storage in my parents' attic until I have children.
