good times, good times.... 
I guess I am still a kid, being that I am only 20.
any way here is my list:
Legos (of course)
R/C cars (still love um')
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (I was a real Raphial fan!)
Starcom (any one else remember these? I don't remember if they were really popular or not, but I really liked the few i had!)
Hotwheels
Slot cars (the really small ones, like 1/64 i think...)
Nintendo (Still have the special place for Mario and ExciteBike
RC cars has been my biggest attraction though... I have had so many RC cars. Tyco, Nikko, Tamiya, Kyosho, Team Losi, Team Associated, Etc. etc...
The first one that I can really remember that I totaly dug was the Sears DieHard Lobo R/C buggy (something like that). it was about 1/10 scale. I got it for christmas, and it was soooooo cool but I drove it in the snow, wrecked the cuircit board. My dad went to exchange it but they were all sold out 
I was broken! sniff sniff....
But, now my favorite RC car is the Kyosho Mini-Z! it is the coolest RC ever!!

Shrubba, thanks for reminding me about the Starcom stuff! That was great stuff, and I still remember all the little details of the ships and people hehe.
As for R/C cars, I hear ya, those are a lot of fun -- I've spent the last decade winning either 1st or 2nd with my dad at various races every other weekend in SoCal.... Team D we used to be called. It's fun stuff but for some weird reason I haven't been able to get into the mechanic-side of things despite me being all hardcore-like with S2K and do-your-own-mods and stuff.
