There are two ways to answer that and if you want them the cost will be £25,000 worth of Gold.

That thing looks amazing. I bet that was fun to play with.

Too bad that it opens up, cuz if that thing floated, I would never play with anything else. Haha. This thread brings out the kid in all of us.

I had the G.I. Joe Space Capsule set.
Was a big NASA fanboy back then and had all the stuff you could get from some club my parents hooked me into.

Had Lunar Lander models and all that really Cool Crap!

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.

Mine was a Science Fair Microcomputer trainer.

A strong second was LEGO.

LOL

I always remember being about five years of age when my parents bought me an electric train set (don't recall scale) fully laid out with hills and scenery etc.

They purchased from an enthusiast, it was mounted on something like a 12' x 12' board and came with custom built trestles for standage.

I was probably far too young to appreciate it and in hindsight it was probably something my father enjoyed and appreciated far more but the distant memories are still there.
