Best toy ever created

[Scott Taylor]

I think every boy before the '80s had them, while the little dinosaurs were more gender neutral.

True. My sisters at the time were playing with Barbies, which did not interest me.

Soccer ball.

I'd say a variant of this has to be the winner. The humble ball has been invented or imported by almost every culture archeologists have dug up, and it still sells.

I won’t deny I sucked at Scrabble, but, it was fun to play!

I wasn't always the best, but better than average. It certainly made me use the dictionary more often than I would have otherwise. It's kind of like what Jeopardy! has done to me - since I hate not knowing something, it has made me bone up on those categories I'm not as knowledgeable about.

That first came out around the time I got my first calculator, but I had a non-kiddie one:



Not a toy, but I treated it almost like one.

I had one. I drew Sqaure boobs on it and my friends were very impressed. I would like to say I did this as a child but I was 17 at the time.

Yes indeed! That was awesome!

[Totoro Man]

Is that an actual toy or a Godzilla model?

think this is Mattel Shogun Godzilla

it was a toy. I remember having one as a kid. when you flipped the lever on the back of his head it was supposed to shoot fire out of his mouth. good times. naturally he was the enemy of all lincoln log and erector set buildings!

That makes two of us. I can always remember the most random and weird things lol.

Ah! I was too old for that when it came out. The only Godzilla when I was a kid was the Aurora glow-in-the-dark model that was a part of that company's monster lineup (Frankenstein, the Wolf Man, Dracula, etc.)
