What are/were your most memorable childhood toys?

[BigBadBoi]

Legos or action figures are the safest choice. Tho I remember playing with shitty mcdonalds toys or something that plays one shitty game but that lasted me like a year or two when I was six.
Now I'm feeling nostalgic for my old yoys.

Hmmm, self glowing christmas trees, interesting!
My favorite toy was my bike, road all over town and other places with that!

Oh yeah. Had one of those.

A fake Playstation console called a Polystation.
It was definitely no Playstation, but the god-awful bootleg games on it had their strong points...

Cardboards. Put holes in em and turn it into a gundam

Lego

A physical set of Legos. While not the most enjoyable, they are what I have the fondest memories of. Spending hours just plugging them together, trying to make the biggest staircase possible.

Totally! We've got a big set someone gave us for our wedding that we haven't busted out yet.

Probably beyblades or Bakugan but those were received later on when my family could afford it so my most memorable or favorite which I still have somewhere to this day is an ironwood stick that I whittled into a sword when I was 5.

i used to buy those for my niece but she made such a damn mess with them. Do you give in and give him real liquids and food too?

Yes, and he spills, but we clean it up quickly. I'm never far from him, so I keep an extra tea towel handy (in addition to the one lining the tea tray) and point to it so he can get it and clean up his own mess.

For me Lego is the best toy, I liked it as a child and now.

Definitely thomas the train with that long ass track that one could enjoy seeing their toy go around and around it was goated, till they made creepy clips with thomas.?

I cut the end of an extension cord off, plugged it in and rattled it around in a metal trash can. It was like making my own sparkler! Well until the lights turned out and I couldn't figure out why.

I had a fake cucumber with bug eyes. Best toy ever.

There was a Winx little figurine of Stella, it was very cute. Never watched the show seriously, I did dig Dark Bloom and Darkar.
Doubt you'll be able to find it though, it came from one of those candies.
What else... A Nokia 3110? Your kid will love it
My grandad had a toy train, but it was incomplete. Like, an entire railroad and everything. I'd buy it myself now if I wasn't against such frivolous spendings.

A Nokia 3110? Your kid will love it

Not sure if it's the exact Nokia you had, but I got an old one from my cousins. I could play Tetris on it. It has stopped working now, but it was fun to read my cousin's old texts.
