Thursday Thirteen Redux

Blogger crapped out on me and my posting software last night and I didn't get a chance to finish. So a day late, I present ThirteenToys I Had Growing Up, Redux:

1. Lego, Lego, Lego. I was imfamous for my Lego collection and the things I built with them. Our rec room in the basement was often strewn with the things. I still ask for and get Lego for Christmas.

2. He-Man Action Figures. They were dorky and overly muscle bound, but they were all the rage for a couple years with boys my age.

3. GI-Joe Action Figures. Even more popular than He-Man, they appealed to an older age group as well because of the weapons and military vehicles one could get.

4. Dinky Cars. Although they are not called that anymore. Hot Wheels, Matchbox, etc.

5. Vic 20 - First PC and man I had hours of fun on it.

6. Commodore 64 - Successor to the Vic, I had even more fun.

7. Super Soaker Mega - First water gun to come with a backpack tank. Jamie  and I were terrors with that thing.

8. More Lego. I don't think you understand how much of the stuff I had.

9. Pellet Gun. I Got it when I was 13.

10. Massey Fergason Tractors. I played in the sand box a lot pretending to be a farmer.

11. Star Wars Action Figures. I never had very many of them, and the only vehicle I had was an ATST walker. All my family joked about it being a headless chicken. Man I wanted the big stuff like the Death Star and Millennium Falcon.

12. Axis and Allies. Ok, a board game, but I loved it so much I played it by myself. Sad I know.

13. Lego. Seriously, I played with it a lot.
