What toy influenced you the most?

What toys influenced you the most growing up? I think Lego, Play Mobil, and G.I. Joes had a profound impact on my life. I remember building Lego models with my Dad and Grandfather.

I wasn't big into toys but I loved erector sets and legos.

I played with lots of action figures. The brand didn't matter to much to me as they usually didn't play their intended role anyway. What I often did was take sheets and comforters and crumple them up and make cavernous mountains out of them. I'd hide some action figures in there and have one fight his way to the top and usually have some of story to go along with it. Having a child's imagination is awesome. I also blew up or lit a lot of my action figures on fire. I liked destroying stuff.

I also built a bunch of shit with erector sets and those plastic rods/connectors(forget the name).

Anyone ever have 'constructs' or maybe 'construx' or some crap when they were a kid? They were kind of like legos but a little different you could build vertical things easier with less pieces. Anyways if I was an architect or something I would say legos and constructs. They just influenced my imagination I suppose.

I swear this toy growing up is responsible for the six pack I have.
I used to sit on those things for hours and just spin.




Fuck Transformers, GoBots were the shit.
