@newsmike I had a feeling that you were a G.I. Joe kinda guy. 😛

By the end of the day, the battlefield was littered with much more than just GI Joe’s, there were Mr. Potatoheads, spaceships, trucks, robots, you name it. Quite the epic battle.

Loved these too…

Aw, toy trains were fun! 🚋

OMG, Playskool had some awesome toys. 😍

What about tops? It was made out of wood with a white string… Here’s a pic…

Wow, Maddie! 🐴

That’s like totally old school, I think it’s pretty awesome that you still have your collectible horses. 🙂

See, the younger generation is spoiled. They couldn’t wrap their 🧠

the younger generation is spoiled. They couldn’t wrap their 🧠 around appreciating this vintage stuff.

I wish I had more of my old horse collection though I don’t know where I’d put it! If they were in good shape I’d sell them. I only have 2-3 left. I do love retro stuff even today. My sister is older than I am but she doesn’t care for “old” things, so I hope to inherit a lot of my Mom’s vintage photos and other cool antiques. Hopefully there are some younger generation folks who appreciate the things that led to the newer things! (I AM vintage stuff. 😃 )

Your own starter post has some pretty old games, especially if you count the ones that don’t require an object. Hopscotch must be ancient and I remember the Bloody Mary game from slumber parties. Did you ever play “Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board”? I loved those scary games.

And of course the classic… I remember having games lasting several hours!

We had long games too, I always did like Monopoly as long as there were snacks on hand! My strategy was never Park Place and Boardwalk. I bought up the crap properties like Baltic Ave and those light blue ones. I’d hotel them up and slowly but surely rake in the cash. I guess I was a slumlord now that I think about it. I hope I was nice to those tiny people living in my hotels. :thinking:

I was the very same!

For some reason we would always miss landing on Boardwalk or Park Place! The benefits of owning them were being able to cash in the mortgage value in times of need!

I’ve played numerous games where we’d finish up all the available money and have to use pen and paper to keep track of our earnings!

Yes! Along with Red Light/Green Light! 🚦

Naturally, I’m a suspense thriller kinda gal. So, spooky games and movies are my cup of 🍵

Also, I appreciate vintage stuff, too. Once in a blue 🌑 I’ll hit up garage sales. I’m an avid 🦋butterfly collector - so anything butterfly; décor picture frames, bedding, dishes, towels, scrapbook etc. I’ll buy it! A few of my friends nicknamed me “Island 🦋”. 😀

Hmm, maybe I was nerdy creative or smth, but my fav. toy was & still is LEGO 🤓

Damn, a lego ship! That thing is HUGE! 😯

Nothing wrong with being nerdy hahahaha. 🤓

I bet you built lego airplanes and cars too! OR a poodle 🐩

@nikavoice “Thank You Mario, But Our Princess is in Another Castle”

In my childhood, this was a mystery for me. 😃

Story of my life tbh…

[mae_creativity]

Being a child of divorce, I had all and any toy I wanted. But what I played with were always the boxes. My future fiverr name was already in the making . . .

Aw, cheer up boys… The life of a dazzling Princess is never easy. The quest for finding her Prince charming is serious business. 😛

I’m trying to break into castle in real , not succeed yet 😛

Playing Mario is great preparation for real life.

Trying to find your princess but spending all day smashing your head off brick walls and trying to avoid all the turtles…

Note: Stay away from magic mushrooms, they don’t help at all - Mario was wrong on that part.

Mr. Flop Ears. He was so fuzzy.

You’re right about that LOL. But, mushrooms are so good in food. 😋

Careful, you don’t want a burglary charge. 🚓

I’m pretty sure that since Mario & Luigi are Italian plumbers, they were using those mushrooms for a nice risotto.

I am too young, I haven’t caught the old arcade days. Although, there was one arcade shop while I was first grade, but it closed too soon, as the days of the arcade were long gone… 😃

[gig_freak]

I was an arcade fanatic - I would skip from school just to go play arcade games with my mates 👀 I miss those machines, but I bet they don’t miss us humans 😃 (though I had my pockets filled with coins to feed them)

My dad was telling me a trick on how they (he and his friends) used to cheat the arcade machines to have unlimited credits. They drilled the coin, they tied it on a wire, and you have had unlimited credits. But that worked on the older early 80’s machines. 😃

All pc games are my favorites 😍

Rubiks’ Cube ~ I solved this fairly quickly back in the day. I don’t know if it’s possible today! 😅

You are Nika, everything is possible for you! 😉

My dad got me this and I LOVED it.
I remember dropping it on my toes a few times and boy did it hurt.
That thing was quite heavy!

Also being a Japanese kid, my mother bought me an origami book.
The book was small, like a post card size, but it was as thick as a dictionary.
I was doing a lot of origami in my free time.
I was quite proud of myself when I made the ornament ball using 30 pieces!
