I loved the Ghostbusters. I jammed on the Proton pack and ghost trap all the time. I even wore a Ghostbusters jump suit on my first day of Kindergarden.

I didn't play with toys, despite the toys my parents bought, especially girl stuff. I was either climbing tress, building forts, or riding my bike pretending it was a motorcycle. :lol:

I was a kid in the days of Evil Knievel. We didn't ride our bikes. We built them out of scrap and then crashed them :lol:

favorite toy was an evil knevil stunt set I got. Wind up the bike and make it jump over stuff. Yeah riding my bicycles was interesting. Had my dad come around a corner once as I jumped over a good size ramp towards him. He was not impressed. :)

I had the exact same big wheel! I also wore out the front tire!!!

Growing up on a farm, I also had a lot of toy tractors.

I had those in the 60's. When I got older I use to ride my stringray bike all over including lots of dirt trails.

My dad built me a bicycle and I would ride the ever lovin crap out of that thing. :lol: It was rattle canned pink and blue, but we called it 'hot rod blue' and 'hot rod pink' :D It was way cooler having a 'hot rod' paint job. :lol:

That was my favorite toy....I don't think I have pictures :(

She-ra FTMFW!! :rockwoot:

I was an odd child. I played with TMNT figures as much as I played with Barbies. :scratch: And then once I got a Sega Genesis, it was all over from there. :panic: Aside from that I was (er.. still am) a huge science nerd, so I had a lot of cool things like microscope kits.

I actually spent more time outside riding bikes and building giant forts out of cardboard boxes with my friends, though. :shrug:

Big wheel, rideable tractor, bike, tonka tractors, hot wheels, action figures, pokemon cards, beanie babies, misc game systems.. I was also pretty weird, I liked digging holes A LOT. If you handed me a shovel I was happy for hours. I was able to beat many a people in arm wrestling matches.. something I can't do anymore. When I was old enough I also spent a majority of the time on my bike, so I could outrun plenty of people too. Good times..

Sure it did. You just had to count them AFTER the landing.

He lasted a while... until we ran him through the "river of fire" jump...

Basically we set up a ramp to jump a flaming pool of gasoline... he didn't make it.

Legos. Use to build whorehouses with ramps over each bed on the ceiling. Called them "slide-n-screw". :lol:

Hell, I even made guns out of my Lego. They fired one of those big hockey elastics and usually blew up on the third shot. I was a violent little bastard.

I call bs on that one. You would have been too big for a pw50 by the time you had your first tooth come in.

Me?

My 2 speed BMX bike. (or any of my bikes for that matter. Even the one with the banana seat and the mini ape hangers.)

GI Joe's.

Toy guns. A friend of my mothers was in the Army and he gave me a stack of black and white Army training pics, toy gun dart gun set with a shot gun and two hand guns plus targets and a Army hat. I would wear that and tie ferns to it. I hid myself well enough to have a guy walk right up to me without finding me. I jumped up, scared the shit of of him and made my kill. When we played you would hear 'you can't shoot through trees at least once". LOL

My real Ninja suit with Tabi boots. I would run around in that during the summer. It could be 33 out without out a cloud in the sky and my ass would be running around in a black ninja suit sweating my ass off. But I was having the time of my life. LOL

Roller Skates.

Skate board.

A guitar my father gave to me.

R/C buggy

And of course the all time great toy...LEGO.

I had the Evel Knevil stunt cycle too. The poor guy lost his head after one too many crashes in the bottom of the console TV :lol:

For Christmas when I was six, I got a brand new red Schwinn bike that I wore out two sets of tires by age 9 when I got a Schwinn Fastback. Skinny 20" tires, 5 speed with a banana seat, sissy bar and "ape hanger" handlebars. :cool:

I also got a Texaco gas station fire helmet complete with siren and loud speaker when I was about 6. I think I have a picture of me with it somewhere.
