just watched the last in the series of james may's top toys. Some great stuff but today's episode about scalextric I particularly enjoyed because I had loads of scalextric as a kid and it was easily my favourite "toy". So much so that I still have a fair amount of it! Haven't used it for nearly two years though, it'll have to come out of the loft again:
that was my living room floor around christmas 2007.
My other favourite toy was Lego Technix, particularly Technix because normal lego was a bit too easy and I preferred the actual building of the lego things than actually doing much with them afterwards. I still have a load of lego too but don't use that anymore! I do still have my lego technix jcb (with working pneumatics!) in my office as a kind of ornament though. I like to think messing with lego technix was a good grounding for a lot of what I like to mess with on cars these days, I learnt how things like planet & sun differentials, and pneumatics/hydraulics worked from messing with lego!
So what are/were your top toys as a kid?
