I spent a lot of my time playing collectible card games as a kid. I was a real nerd, huh. :/

Well I’m going to have to go with Lincoln logs. I loved constructing houses and buildings and things and then crashing into the buildings and watching them all tumble down. Oh good times

I had a SantaFe HO-Scale train set that I was completely infatuated with. While I didn’t have many pieces, the thing was mad fun to play with for hours on end. Second after that has to be my first bike, man did that get some miles!

My favorite childhood toy was and still is my skateboard. No matter where I was I brought it along as if it was a teddy bear. Electricity out? No matter, my skateboard would still work. And it kept me from being a fat nerd. Now I am just a nerd.

Bristle Blocks were #1. Shaping them into space ships in the model of Star Blazers, flying through the house, only to have the heavy mass fall apart at the slightest bump.

My parents still have a few left over from the glory days, sadly, with only a rectangle and a few long ones, a small speeder was all I could muster this summer while visiting.

Duel at the Deathstar… to be honost, I never got it as a kid (wanted it so badly I couldn’t see straight)… however, about 2 years ago, I saw one on ebay unopened and grabbed it- telling my wife that it was for our 3yr old. She knew who it was for though…

It remains unopened but as soon as my son gets hooked on Star Wars we’ll be like Luke and Darth on that bad boy.
