Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
At about 8, it would have been my Hot Wheels or my G.I. Joes (with Kung Fu grip!). Around 10 it would have been my BB guns (Daisy Red Ryder!). And by 14, it would have been Sandy P. As much as I enjoyed my Hot Wheels and my BB guns, "playing with" Sandy P. was a LOT more fun than either of them.

I would have to say those COX Line Control Airplanes. My brother and I spent hours upon hours at the school playground flying those planes. We learned on a PT-19 Trainer. Then after one summer we "moved up" and he bought a Wright Flyer.. had to build it and it came with a guy that was in the prone position with goggles and a scarf. Pretty neat plane. I bought a Spifire. I can still remember the smell of that fuel that powered those planes, lol.
My Victrola

OPs... Are you trying to date us? :tongue:
OH, the bloody fingers! :hammer:
That was my problem, I smashed most of my toys with a ball & peen.... the one's I didn't set afire that is.

Answering the question, I think my favorites were my older brother's Mattel Major Matt Mason Collection, my all steel (or almost all steel anyway) Tonka Quarry Dump Truck, the Tonka Dozer, the Tonka articulating Loader tractor, slot cars, and those bags of green army men.

How many did you blow up with firecrackers? lol... We had tons of those too. My mother (bless her heart) cut up old sheets and made us some parachutes for those guys. We had to tie rocks to them in order to throw them up high enough for the chutes to open because they were too light otherwise. Some got hung up on the telephone wires. We thought that was KEWL!
Probably would have to have been my MarbleWorks set. I had damn near every expansion/add-on set possible. Used to play with that thing for hours, making marble race courses that went from the second story of my house, over the banister, down to the first floor. And then when I would get bored with that I would use the pieces to make fake guns that I would run around the house with.

My second best toy was the football my dad used to throw with me. We spent hours throwing it back and forth. I wasn't very good at it though. Then one day the neighbor man came over and filled it with air... it was a lot better then.

We had a house fire when I was about 13 and all the toys I had got burned up. But I once had a Major Matt too. Thanks for reminding me of him - I'd forgotten all about that one until I saw your post. :hatsoff:
