2. Star Wars action figures
My memory of Star Wars is going bad but I think it was the Falcon that they flew (where the cockpit was on the right side). I had a huge detailed model of it when I was a kid that would probably be worth over 1g right now. But instead I remember getting mad one day when I was like 7 and crushing it. I'm an idiot!

TINKER TOYS?! Those were the ones with the little wood wheels with the holes that you inserted the wood sticks and could build all sorts of neat 'space frames' with (i'm an architect). i loved those!
And of course, my wonder woman action figure.........
I agree totally with Mindcore. All this stuff is now so incredibly expensive. i wished my mom had saved all that stuff

I can totally relate to John and Sondra: You guys had legos that came in kits?! We had blocks, 2 sizes of 'em, that came in a cardboard tube if I remember correctly. Any kind of car we'd try to build would look like a panel van, cause we couldn't make curves with 'em (unless you made them *huge* with like 3000 legos).
Man, I look at the stuff out there now and I just about die. We had wooden tinker toys, and kids now have these plastic, snap-together remote-control dinosaurs! What's up with that? I'm pissed I'm not a kid now; guess it's time to have one

Have to agree with fluxen...did I grow up in the Dark Ages or something?
Give old farts like us Lincoln Logs or the original wooden Tinkertoys or some of the first Hot Wheels (got my first set in '68, I believe--remember the Boss Hoss Mustang you could only get by joining the Hot Wheels' Club?) and we'll be fine til senility sets in. Or just give us all a shiny, new s2000...only don't let it roll down from the coffee table and hit the family dog...
