You mean Legos come in different colors now??????
I thought they were only WHITE. Just showing my age. I guess one of my favorite toys was a set of wooden blocks. These came in a bunch of different sizes and shapes and made out of 2" x 4" wood. If stack just right, it could almost reach the ceiling.

Tractors. We would wear our tractors out! I think about how much we would play rice farm when I was little and it blows my mind. We'd head to the field next to the yard and pick a bunch of rice to fill the hollers with. We had everything you could imagine.
If it rained, we'd go under the house. If it was a gully washin' rain, we'd head inside and get all the towels to roll up and make levees (the rice had to stay outside though). My parents sold the little house to be moved and out another one on top of where it used to sit. I want to get under there and see if I can dig up some old tractors, the ones in the stores now just don't cut it!

Still got just about all of my Hot wheels too back from the mid to late 70's most in mint condition with my double layered hot wheel case.
Still have an old digital pac man game that was in the shape of a pacman. Have some of the old handheld digital football games. And remember the old football games with the field that was like a big metal warming tray, and you would set the individual players up against each other, then you would turn on the switch and the field would vibrate until the oppotite players man would run into your man with the cotton football? I think we may still have my dads when he was young.

Favorite toys for me were the Jurassic Park figurines, hot wheels, and any truck/boat/trailer combo I could put my hands on. We would build buildings, docks, boat ramps, and just about anything else for them with popsicle sticks and hot glue. O and any toy dinosaur we could find. We had our entire upstairs of my parents house setup like dinosaur farming community with a fake lake and everything lol

Bike and No Helmet! Thought I was Evel Knievel!! Made ramps and would jump just about anything including toy trucks, skate boards, big wheels, other kids!! We would see how many telephone poles we could ride past while riding wheelie. Gone for hours no cell phone...imagine that! I couldn't imagine having my kids go that long without contact with them. Also remember being the neighborhood game organizer...get on the old rotary dial and call kids to play baseball/football...took forever. We invented Arena football...My friend's dad was principal at welsh high so we had key to the gym. We played with a nerf football and would play very aggressive two hand tap(push!) Amazing how our rules were almost identical to todays arena football

Man, I really had to think about this one! For a minute there, I wondered if I had a favorite toy but, after some consideration, I'd have to say it was my bike and, fishing equipment. They went hand-in-hand, literally. I was fortunate enough to grow up in an area where we had 5-6 farm ponds within bicycle distance and, somehow or another, we managed to get all of our equipment to them by way of bike. Those were some great, carefree days that we lived then!
