How about a little boredom with Domino Rally! The domino set made of plastic but for lazy people who would rather have a little cart set all the dominoes up for them, yaaaay!

I'm surprised that no-one has said Lincoln logs, or speak and spell (To tell you the truth that one scared me a lot)

Strangely enough my friends, and I were talking about old toys last night. My friend told us the story of how she got a Puppy Surprise (Plush toy dog with Velcro hole in stomach that holds little puppies) for Christmas and her grandmother thought it was cute until my friend ripped open the mother dogs stomach, jammed her hand in the opening and flung out the little toy puppies.

The original trampoline, sure it caused numerous injuries to everyone that used it but it was fun. Now days we have these padded, springless, caged in things that offer nowhere near the bounce; and you can't even jump off one into the pool.

Oh man I did so much damage to myself as a kid by playing "superhero" and launching from trampoline to pool

I wish they still sold those gundam model kits in retail stores, those things were fun to build.

Didn't play with many toys in my day and age... I had a few Bionicals and the such, but I primarily used Blu-tac to model. It was weird; instead of the regular play-dough, I used the regular ol' Blu-tac, which I found was a lot stickier than its entertainment-purposed counterpart.

LMAO! "...and a list of Hollywood actresses who need a shmack in their shmart mouths..."

There was this one sweet toy I had, I can't remember exactly what it was called, but it was this starfighter type thing that had a handle like a gun on it and it would light up when you shot it. It came with a video tape that had a kind of anime style cartoon where it was like you were flying around in the fighter battling enemy ships. It told you to shoot at these flashing, seizure-inducing lights to make it seem like you were actually shooting the other ships down. Anybody else ever have that?

Hmm, I miss my old action man toys (the late 70s early 80s ones), Machine Men (Specifically the Rocklords), and another line I can't remember the name of, but it was a bunch of knights and smaller dudes in cloaks, and their chests/heads were a hologram that switched between a person and an animal. I miss the old boardgame Heroquest too.

Can't remember the name of the game ya mentioned, ThaBenMan, but I saw it being reviewed on an episode of attack of the show a while back.

I remember those! They were sweet. There were these other ones that were similar, I don't know if they were the same brand or not, but they were like monsters. There was this one guy I had who wore a hooded cloak, and they had holograms too (it was kind of a fad back then, I think)

Nice, maybe I can dig it up on youtube or something. Thanks!

GI Joe, with Kung-fu grip! Man, I had so much of their stuff and pummelled it terribly... Sarge got male pattern baldness and a hand amputation from all the rough handling.

Holy crap, me too.

I made a Blu-Tac monster to fight my favorite toy ever

I have no clue what they we're called but they came in like werid egg things and you had to sit them in warm water for the goo to come off them to see what toy you got.
