Childhood toys.

[Eliminator21vdrive]

So who still has toys from your childhood? (And not Gregg)

So some not so good circumstances caused me to loose two boxes of things that I had kept and a memory prompted a search and purchase of this.

I have no Idea what I am going to do with it but I have it.

He is a pretty hip cat!

 

[SoCalDave]

My 1961 Fisher Price Snoopy dog. Pulled this thing around for hours driving my mom/family crazy with its clicking noise. Still in great condition and occasionally I'll let my 2 year old grandson pull it until he wants to swing it then it goes back in the garage on top my storage cabinet.

 

[SoCalDave]

One of my first Tinkertoy sets. 59 out of 60 original pieces still in it.

 

[callbob]

I still have my original pull toy

 

[monkeyswrench]

I have a Snoopy glass piggy bank from preschool. It has no drain plug...damn miracle it survived
I was 10 when my sister started popping out kids. My stuff was given a second life early on.

 

[Mandelon]

I have some old Swedish Brio wooden train cars in a closet somewhere.

I miss the Vertibird.

 

[bonesfab]

I am fortunate that I haven‘t had to move a lot in my life. I have a lot of my stuff still. Hot wheels, matchbox cars, legos, models, erector sets, lincoln logs, slot cars, trains and more. I will get some pics.

I could only imagine and look forward to your pics.

 

[CLdrinker]

I have the wagon that my grandfather bought my mom right before he died.

 

[robert1050]

I still have my Hot Wheels (first cars that came out), all were played with. Lost in Space Mattel Switch N Go set and was heavily into tin tractors & trucks. Major Matt Mason also. Still have 'em, boxed up in storage. Oh and my Marklin trains from the 50's.

I bet it's beat to shit too...huh?
Like a sore dick....ya just can't beat it!.....
Wait......what?.............ohhh...never mind.

 

[EarpRider]

I also have my Lincoln Logs and Hot Wheels. And I will say, when I see the big box of Lincoln Logs in my garage I always ask myself, Why do I still have those?

 

[Aces & Eights]

The click clacks survived numerous hits to my head, hands and face. They got immediately thrown out by mom when they took out just one of her porcelain collectibles in her display cabinet. Fucking things were dangerous and destructive.

But fun and so simple. I always wonder how much they made on those things? Had to be big bux.

 

[RitcheyRch]

I don't have any of my childhood toys.

 

[Racey]

I just kept changing the toys that interested me, now i work in a shop full of them

TBH i never think about the toys i left in the past

 

[old rigger]

Found this creepy little fuck in my mom's stuff after she passed. Was mine in the late 50's. Freaks our kids out, especially our son in law, so I'm going to put it in the guest bedroom on a shelf facing the bed. Thinking of taking it apart and putting some lights behind the eyes with a remote so I can turn them on from our bedroom. There's access on the back side because it has a wind up music box inside.

 

[Familyties]

All I had was a stick and tin can.
Stick was muti purpose, a gun, a bat, a spear
Tin can was something to kick, pretend it as a radio receiver, walkie talkie .

Am I the only one who knows exactly what the inside of that container smells like?

Game over.

 

[Rajobigguy]

Most of my childhood toys were given to my nephews.
However I still have this that I got when I was 12.

 

[Your ad here]

Still have one. Family was so poor growing up, thank god I was born a boy.

 

[Ziggy]

I still have my Hot Wheels (first cars that came out), all were played with. Lost in Space Mattel Switch N Go set and was heavily into tin tractors & trucks. Major Matt Mason also. Still have 'em, boxed up in storage. Oh and my Marklin trains from the 50's.

Yep. I had a neighborhood squirrel elimination kit too

 

[MonkeyButt70]

My home made Drag Boat. When I was a kid at the races I would run and pull this in the water with a string racing the other kids that made one.

 

[Gramps]

still have one of these on a shelf in the shop

 

[boatnam2]

The click clacks survived numerous hits to my head, hands and face. They got immediately thrown out by mom when they took out just one of her porcelain collectibles in her display cabinet. Fucking things were dangerous and destructive.

Grew up in Torrance and the company that made click Claks was down the street and they chucked all the blems, we would dig through trash and get them out, my cousins and I had 100's of them dam things.

 

[boatnam2]

I was always a sizzler guy, my brothers and i were always racing them.

 

[lrg147]

2 of my favorites as a kid. Now being enjoyed by my 3 year old son.

 

[bonesfab]

This is some of what’s in the house. The garage is another story. I may be getting older but I refuse to grow up.

 

[joecfd1]

Still have my Hot Wheels in the tire case up in my garage attic from the 60’s.

2 different vendors

 

[DLC]

I gave all my Star Wars action figures and space ships to my nephew 8 or 9 years ago!

 

[69hondo]

I am 46 and still love my childhood toys. I have a few on the walls in my back garage. I collect pressed steel toys. Mostly Tonka & Nylint.
Still have my Hotwheels & matchbox from when I was a kid in buckets LOL. Most of my legos, Plastic boats I played with growing up at the river,
Dont have any of my GI joe or Heman though

 

[havasuhusker]

Thank you for the little trip down memory lane!

 

[OC Daytona]

I sold off most of my Hot Wheels when I was bored during Covid, but I kept these 5
I had about 70 off them,, prob made $2,500-3,000. I had some pretty rare ones in flashy colors
like a pink AMX Javelin and a blue '69 Charger... a dark blue Maverick with a hood scoop

Theses were some of the first ones I got. I think the white Jack Rabbit was my first

 

[J&k beer can]

this one is Super Cool... I have the real size one.

LOL. That's beautiful. What are you running for drive train? 327 4 speed? What is that color called? I have a "real size 67

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

Space Legos, and a Lionel train set (larger gauge tracks, freight train and a bunch of buildings and other accessories). All in some plastic bins out in the garage somewhere.

I'm getting to the point I want to declutter my life and toss as much crap as I can so I don't own much and can move easily, or fit into an RV.

 

[Badchoices03]

My mom saved alomst everything from my childhood and over the years has brought everything to me, from yearbooks, awards, trophies, toys, etc....most of the stuff just got thrown away once in my possession, but not the toys....I have a attic full of Hotwheels, GiJoe, He-man, Voltron, all kinds of stuff that is probably worth some coin now, but I will leave it to my son....the only thing my mom didnt keep cause it was just too big to store (which i wish she did) was my GI Joe USS Flagg aircraft carrier...that thing gets a pretty penny nowadays...

I never got attached to stuff like you guys.

We didnt have much growing up and toys were all hand me downs.

Mostly we had baseball, football, golf and basketball stuff.

Most used toys were wifffle balls and bats.

I tried to save a lot of stuff for my son but most got destroyed in his house fire.

Anybody still have these toy guns from the 60's. I think they were called Johnny Eagle
My brothers and I had all 3 sets, but LONG GONE....I hear they are big money if you have them in good condition

 

[Orange Juice]

I had younger brothers. Everything got recycled, and shared. I still have my Cub Scout knife, a backpack and hiking/camping equipment from the late 1960’.

I still have my 1985 21’ Eliminator daycruiser I bought new at 24 y/o, and all my waterskis from about 1975-95.

Lincoln logs, tinker toys, erector sets, and hot wheels kept me pretty busy as a kid.
