Most definitely....also tried Meccano but soon tired of it, probably too complex.

I have to say, my favorite childhood toy was my first mobile device, a Palm lifedrive. Got it a long time ago

I had music, videos, and wifi!

I spent so many playing with all the emulators.

I guess mine was this:

Apart from playing with friends in the nearby forest .

Mine was certainly Lego and I was the first Playmobil generation, it came on the market when I was 2.

As Playmobil has always been on the expensive side, I combined the two worlds, for example I built my pirate ship for the Playmo guys from Lego.
Oh I also had tons of plastic soldiers, inherited a huge amount from my cousin when he grew out of it.

This is really freaking sad.
The equivalent for me would have been the ghettoblaster, the tv and the ham radio. All things I had access to and certainly spent a lot of time with. Though it would never come to my mind as my favorite toy(s).

I have many fond memories of nice toys as a kid.

Probably, if I had to pick ONE, I would have to go with

As both an introvert and a chess nut, having a machine where I could play my favourite game by myself was a great thing.

1977.

My close second would be

Also 1977. 1977was a good year for asocial introverts who liked to play games, but had no friends.

I had the G.I. Joes and Legos but my personal favorite where these bad boys.

These are AirFix 1:32 but as a kid in the US at least where I lived you could get the same molds in a big bag they where smaller though 1:35 roughly about 20 or 30 came in each bag.I had several bags worth or British,German,and Japanese and maybe one bag of Russians and I also had some Korean War era Chinese Peoples Army figures as well.

I used to dig extremely elaborate WWI style trench systems in the dirt and play with the soldiers in them.I would even have interlocking MG nests.

I also had US troops Vietnam style.

British

Japanese (mine where always puke green)

German

Russian

US Vietnam

I love modeling, but I'm more into ships and aircraft.
Mind you, Tamiya makes some pretty good 1/35 infantry
