I used to build lego U-boats as a kid (with working torp tubes). And that's with the old ghetto sets, not the cool sets you can get today.

I saw a Lego Fokker Dr.1 once. It was an actual, licensed set.

I have a picture some place, I'd have to look for it. It just takes some good planning and imagination to build cool stuff.

I've got no picture of my favorite toys, that I had during my childhood.

But even though I got it for my 3 years birthday I remember it very well

You have to understand that we were very, very poor, so all these things you had was only things we could dream of.

Back to my so beloved toy.

It was a homemade truck/lorry with a real cabin and I could tip the ....(can't remember the name) that could be filled with sand or other things.

My dad made it not just a good job in making all these things possible, he also made so tuff that I could sit or jump on it( I had a real temper as kid)

He also made some dollhouses to my sisters.

Thunder thunder thunder....

THUNDERCATS-HOOOOOOOOO.

How about GI joes and Transformers?

No children of the 80's? Or just cast iron tricycles, and pet rocks?

I keep meaning to dig this one up.... I know that Jim won't mind

I had a cap-firing Winchester. To me it looked just like a real one and you loaded the chromed plastic bullets through a sprung flap at the side, just like a real one. They then spun into the air from the top on cocking with the lever, just like a real one

Toy blocks. Simple uniform, uncoloured wooden toy blocks. I looved them, sicne allways. My fantasy knew no limits, I build a galaxy of worlds with them. And some really malicious, evil, sick-minded execution machines.



Second came chess figures, which I did not use as chess figures exclusively but also as toy soldiers and toy cowbays and toy indians, doing battle with them in the worlds I built with the bricks before. Call it 3-dimensional chess That way, my first chess set died multiple miserable deaths when I was five and six, and many pawns ended in the before mentioned execution machineries.



I also had a wonderful teddy bear, a really beautiful baby-grizzly. For the softer side in me.

A strong second was LEGO.
