I miss this.

tetris

Lego was my favorite toy, I built the huge castles hehe

There are so many other great toys that I remember from my childhood. Usually it were Tetris and Mario on my old PC. When I want to recall old good times I play these games on http://www.friv5online.com/ . They look exactly the same as I recall. I like them so much!

Also, anyone remember playing soldier? Whaddup witdat? :/

Had two sets of jenga I used to create different buildings and things, it was like lego with the gravity turned up.

My favourite toys were stuffed animals. I actually still love all my stuffed animals.

Why did I post the same thing about jenga again several months later?

Ditto but I try and hide it from people.

Convinced they are sentient beings just being very quiet so I couldn't ever throw them away.

I loved me a good old Bic lighter, one of my favorite games was to put plastic bags up high and then set them on fire, the dripping of the burning plastic made a cool (whizzing sound) as it fell and you could put your action figures below and pretend they where being bombed.

Hahaha

Makeshift napalm

That came across as rather sadistic

Disclaimer: I have only ever been violent towards little plastic soldiers

Yes tetris, yes Janga, but nothing beat a fort - re-imagined from an empty box-
Valotonin, we would have made good buds. My plastic soldiers would slowly sink in quicksand - water and starch -

Barbies.

Silly Bandz were the shit back in the day. Great concept honestly. There would be borderline bracelet-black-markets during recess/lunchtime. We'd always try to convince each other that the shapes we had were 'rare' (they weren't. But you'd sure as hell be top dog if you pulled up with the glittery and glow-in-the-dark ones).

My older brother also had these really cool Sinnoh-Pokemon figures. They were small but we loved them, for whatever reason though they were niche Pokemon lol. Kriketot was one, Torterra was another. He did have a Deoxys that had a button on its chest and would play sounds when you pressed it. That was pretty awesome.

Reminds me of loom bands which were all the rage in my school about 2013/2014-ish, I never saw the appeal in the pint sized eco-unfriendly elastic little buggers but everyone else around did!
I think the more recent bracelet trend among us young team is Kandi bracelets, it's a hobby that looks very fun and involving (I seriously like it).
I don't think of myself as trendy nor interesting enough for it and I'll gander for most people Kandi will be a passing trend.
(A fun fact about Kandi is I've seen it moreseo be a hobby taken up by teens and young adults on the autistic spectrum like myself.)

Thinking a-back the toys I had were anything with battery's. A Doctor Who dalek figurine that would bleep and bloop tinninly bought by my dad when I was six or seven. It was about 6-inch in height.
And If it wasn't battery operated it WAS Doctor Who action figurines, always David Tennant era (2005-2010), never any ones from the Matt Smith era that came after. From Slitheens to Ood to Cybermen.

Good times, I was a right sci-fi nut. (don't get me started on Sonic Screwdrivers.)

Stuffed pandas. I had a lot of them that have since been donated. They were more family to me than a whole side of my actual family. The droopy marking on their eyes reminded me of my own (I wasn't a particularly happy child) baggy and shadowy eyes.

This guy was my first and I still have him with me some 25 years later:


I also played with hot wheels and due to an early infatuation with Baby Spice as a toddler I almost had a doll of her.
