Either Eitech or very similar USSR/Russian construction sets. I like Lego, but metal stuff feels sooo much better.

Stuff like this:

I had Vinny from "The MC Mice from Mars" :P Was my favorite!

[Roship]

My old PC. I spent countless hours playing Red Alert 2, Rise of Nations, Age of Mythology. If not the PC then definitely just those little bags of plastic army men, i could spend days setting up mock battles in my head with them.

lame. we all know Chance was the best.

i was all about GI Joes. and Ninja Turtles. in fact, they became friends after the Great Turtle GI War. turns out COBRA hated both of them and was doing clandestine shit behind the scenes...

I don't see how video games are not going to be 99% of the responses.

I guess I'll be part of the 1%? It's a toss-up between old train sets and the black-and-white TV, as there wasn't much in the way of computers and video games in the homes yet. I went for those two because I'd build train towns while watching TV. I have fond memories of using pliers to operate the knobs on the TV since they were all broken off... glad to see antennae are coming back in style, although they're much better nowadays.

Probably my Super NES. I got that for Christmas around age 6. That thing could keep me busy for a long time. It was technically a Christmas present split between me and my brother, but I played it a lot more than he did. Our parents came up with something where the Super NES was mine, but the TV was my brother's, and since you couldn't use the Super NES without the TV, that kinda forced us to share.

I was also all about Power Rangers from like age 10-13 and had a pretty good sized Zord collection.

edit: also I had a toy Al Capone sort of gun. I can't remember enough about it to explain its inner workings, but it made machine gun sounds and threw sparks around when you pulled the trigger. That thing was badass. Something like that would probably be hard to find these days, I imagine (this was like late 80's/early 90's).
