For me it was Lego blocks. Some of the things I built with them:
Skylab w/solar panels
Three Mile Island mockup
Battlestar Galactica mockup
Aircraft Carriers
DNA double helix (only 100 given in Biology class)
Stadiums & Skyscrapers

But I loved my Verti-Bird helicopter.It flew around a central hub. Not to mention my Tyco HO scale slot-car night racers. Until the dog chewed up the controllers.

Anyone else?

diecast construction toys. When I was little kid, I love these toys. I wonder where did my toys go.

 

Mattel's Intellivision

 

LEGOS!! I think the coolest thing I ever made was a pretty good sized fishing boat (probably 3 feet long). My brother and I managed to make a model Concorde (the big jet). Loved them no matter what I was making.

Legos and books, eventually Nintendo games. I was such a dork.

Wait, still am.

 

1. Lego - the spaceship type stuff

2. Kyosho Turbo Optima - 4WD, chain driven, 7.2V battery powered RC racer. It kicked ass (including the RC-10!)

 

Transformers and Legos. If I was still a little kid I would go to Lego land in SD.

 

Dude-

GI Joe was the ultimate!!

I remember putting him in his 6 wheeled amphibious(sp) vehicle and towing him behind my bycycle at top speed...........

I think thats about the time he put in for the kung foo grip upgrade.

 

Legos, Atari 1600, original IBM PC, Transformers, slot cars.
