What is YOUR favorite toy?

So were a big bunch of nerds with our nerd toys... but which one do you like best? I'm personally a big fan of my junk yard wars playset, but I also have a love for my erector sets, I guess it depends on the day of the week

Many an hour was spend making that 30"x30"x3' castle.
Many a month was spent perfecting it.
Only a minute and my brother stomped it.
Only another minutes and my brother had a bloody nose.

From the list? I have to say the computer because it's the only thing on the list I've played with. I had Lincoln logs once, but the dog ate them (poor thing got splinters from them). I suppose we had a lot of toys growing up but my folks were pretty traditional (boys got cars and toy guns, girls got barbie dolls and baby dolls, and porcelain dolls, blah!). I'm a good Aunt, I buy my niece and nephew fun toys (already got them Legos), messy toys, noisy toys (don't you just know my sister loves me for that... ).

Other than the computer, the toy I play with the most now is slinkys! My Other has big collection of them, and it's guaranteed when we have friends over, everyone ends up with a Slinky in their hands. Here's a picture of some of them: http://www.invisiblerobot.com/photos/miscs/slinky.jpg

I have a slinky named nigel, he keeps me company when i had to work late nights in the news lab between robotics meetings then some kid came in and from what i heard tried to break him into as many pieces as possible and left them on my desk so nigel was buried and nadia came along, she was dismembered in the same fashion, and let me tell you if i ever find this kid he better be able to run faster than me!!!

That is just cruel! Such ruthless persecution of slinkys has got to stop! Statistics show that 4 out of 5 slinkees have been abused and misused. Now is the time to end this senseless violence!

Oh man, I'm probably showing my age, what as it is, but where did Transformers go on the list? Eh.

As for the slinky persecution, they'll eventually rise up and conquer us all, making us bend in strange ways and become their playthings.

::sigh:: When will all the violence end?

Hey, you didn't include my favorite. It starts with a S and ends in a "way".

How could anyone prefer video games over slinkies or Legos or Erector sets?!?!?!

Those are the toys that never get outdated!
