At least it's more fun to create arenas and stuff with lego to play with the wrestling figures, creating own storylines and tournaments with friends . It's way better than shove some stupid ponies around or think Barbie is your role model and you just wanna be like that which propably is the reason there are so many stupid blond bimbos out there in this world because so many girls get forced or want to be living cliches (Just like in that Simpsons episode where Lisa goes on a war against Malibu Stacy

Do you not think you can create your own story lines with barbies..? geez..my daughter had a vet barbie with all the animals , and she wasn't all about her hair.

You really think that story lines around wrestling are any more worthwhile?

I just never understood the whole 'girl thing' the whole "boys are ugly and ewww", the whole "barbie is so cool", the whole "we watch crappy soaps and teen comedies relating to the bimbos and cry over every drama" and what else is typical 'girl-like'. It's no wonder Women were never taken serious in this world when at least 80% of them behave like dolls like stupid idiots and want to belong to the kitchen or in the porn business.

Wow..that's some serious assuming on the part of 80% of the females. All those kinds of statements do is show how unintelligent your assessment of females is. My daughter for example, has some very intelligent friends..who are pursuing careers in publishing, law, education, and a number of other 'respectable' professions.

And Lego is a thousand times better. It's not fun to play with pre-amde stuff. A Barbie house is the same stupid thing as Playmobil. It's boring, you can't decide to build what you want because all the parts are already made. There's a reason Ralph Wiggum failed in turning the Malibu Stacy Dreamhouse into a nuclear power plant, if he'd taken Lego he would have won

I've seen plenty of lego incorporated into make shift barbie houses...or barbie furniture.

Once again, you haven't proven your superiority as an intelligent female, by building lego stuff for wrestling dolls to smash up..

Dinosaurs, It was all about dinosaurs and anything that wasn't human. Jurassic Park #1, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was #2.

Super Elastic Bubble Plastic
Hippity Hop
Spirograph
Silly Putty
Dressy Bessy & Dapper Dan.
Lincoln Logs
Tinker Toys
Handmade dolls my Grandmother would make for me
And #1: An easel my Dad made by hand, lots of paper and as many paints as he could afford.....



Yeah... go ahead and say it... Im old

M.A.S.K.
Transformers
My Houdini magic set
My dads handcuffs (what Escape artist practice, he hated that incidentally)
Bikes
Paintball markers ;P

legos, and k'nex was all i ever needed

Member when we used to get toys from inside cereal boxes? They were usually crappy but a small thrill nonetheless.

for what its worth...barbie and me have the same birthday, march-9th.

i never owned one,i'm a guy. but i came home after work every night so i could play with them with my 2 daughters when they were little, for hundreds of hours, instead of going to the bar or a club and i don't regret a single second...i don't know wether to laugh or cry when i think about those not so long ago days...where do they go?

When an adult, and they first re-released some of the Star Wars action figures and toys, I bought them again...still have them in storage (X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Millennium Falcon, Landspeeder, AT-ST, and most of the main characters)...

Will probably be worth something one day...but just wanted them as a kid...

exactly and look how easy and relatively cheap it would have been back then,not so long ago,to have bought 10 or 20 of them and just stored them un-opened...but its hard to predict the future...

True, but I bought them more because I just wanted them at the time. They kind of sit in storage now, but maybe if can ever get a mancave done, I'll put them in it, hehe...

My VIC20 saw a lot of use and I loved my pellet gun and fireworks

"etch a sketch" has to be one of the most simple,yet popular and creative toys ever made.i must have etched over 500 pictures on them > en.wikipedia.org...

"gnip gnop"...remember that one? it came out in the 1970's and i liked it a lot...it's ping-pong spelled backwards > www.amazon.com...
