I don't know what everyone had when they were young, an item that they enjoyed (before we had MWO).

For me, when I was a child, I had gotten the Star Wars "Death Star" a triangular tower complete with an elevator, a garbage compactor, and a laser cannon topside. I spent hours and hours playing with that darn thing, and sometimes Chewie would have poor old Luke for lunch (don't ask).

I remember my older brother had a toy bazooka

this video is pretty lame but words cant describe how cool a toy bazooka was


then my little brother had a toy that turned out to be really cool
us older kids basically took it over and everyone in the neighborhood had a ton of fun until we broke it

super toe the range was pretty far if you hit it hard enough


my toys
probably the Sizzilar was the best
people don't realize how cool a rechargeable car was back in the early 70's also that wide track was pretty expensive so we just
put ours on the floor and ran them that way

Oh yeah, I also had that. I build loads of spaceships that way, from the instructions to wholly original creations to replica Cylon saucers. And yes, those helmets broke way to easy, I feel your pain Benny...

a cable driven T-64 as present for my first day at school (1988)

could rotate turret and even climb obstacles.... can't remember what happened - but i don't think I enjoyed it for a long time - of course only months later we get swarmed with bad imperialistic toys like Lego
