Mine was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle action figure.

I was a Star Wars action figure kid, myself. Of course, I kept them as mint as possible on their cards (i.e., in their packaging). No, I didn't play with them. However, I would occasionally look at them. Yes, I realize how crazy this one sounds.

I collected the card variations, too. "Tatooine Stormtrooper" as opposed to "Sandtrooper," finding a cache of those was a major triumph for a 9 year old.

Lego Technic here!

I just checked lego.com and damn, there's some cool stuff available nowadays:

It's probably been 16 years since I've made anything out of lego though...

My favorite toy at each age:

Age 1: The remote control and the wired phone

Age 2: My family's Macintosh computer (yes, I knew how to use it)

- and this continued until I was 8 and my family got a new computer

Age 3: My ball (I would shoot hoops with it on a kid-sized basketball hoop, I would kick it around, I would even play golf with it - sort of)

Age 4: My gameboy - I got it for my Grandfather's birthday

Age 5: My gameboy with new games my parents bought me for it (including a ninja turtles, spiderman, and simpsons game)

Age 6: My SNES and my lego kits

PS: Great thread!

NERF guns

Water guns/balooons

Football

NES/SNES

These laser gun type things that every kid in my neighborhood had. It was like laser tag, except we could play wherever we wanted (and no one kept score). When you got shot, it would zap your head. Very fun.


I would still play with these if I had them. Ageless toys are the best!

Mine was the mask, the one who can change from car to plane, car to boat, etc.

Earthquake Tower

My play sessions always ended with everyone dying despite the valiant efforts of the rescue squad.

Mine was the original hot rod action figure. Once my brother came along, all my transformers either disappeared or were destroyed. That specific one, if I still had it in the original box would be worth a couple thousand.

My favourite was my huge Voltron figure that assembles from the 5 cat vehicles.

I had the castle too, complete with hosts of gadgets and 1 ghost.
