I have a Benjamin pellet gun that is at least 30 years old and still works great. A lot of rabbits were killed with that gun in my youth.

Thousands of plastic little soldiers and the guns of navarrone playset, complete with the mountain. As a kid living in Germany, the German toy stores sold much better plastic soldiers than the little green molded men you get here in the states.

Yep. I preferred Legos eventually because they were more versatile but I destroyed plenty of Lincoln Logs

That looks a lot like the Robin Hood : prince of thieves toys I had.

Very young... a Big Wheel

7-8 years old... a pellet gun. Of course our neighborhood had a about 200 acres of woods next to us that didn't get developed until I was 11. I spent some time in those woods hunting.

Crap...meant to edit my other post but Transformers too were the shite as well as Hot Wheels. In my prime Hot Wheels age, we had a summer where our driveway was getting re-paved...let me tell you that was the bomb. Had all sorts of dirt and different terrain to play in. Had the whole neighborhood of kids down at our place having a blast!

Didn’t that Gawrdzirra toy’s hand detach in some spring loaded fashion or was that another giant Japanese aquatic lizard?

Well, we were so poor my dad would cut holes in our pockets so we had something to play with on Christmas morning. So there is that.

My dad was a catfish farmer (which I am now) and as a kid I had this badass play farm in the backyard where I dug out ponds in the garden and had toy tractors and built these little aerators on styrofoam with plastic paddles that ran off a small solar panel and filled the ponds with the hose.

It was actually pretty fricking cool for a 7-8 yr old to build
