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 :slight_smile:

LEGOS RULE!!!

I have legos on my computer too.

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.

LEGO’s are the coolest but waht about hings like GI Joes’s

Lego Mindstorms are the neatest toy ever!

I’m perfectly happy with my Playstation2. I can’t wait to get my hands on Madden 2003!

**madden is the greatest game in the world…ok so its up there **

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…:smiley: ).

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

Life is a toy if you learn how to play with it.

yea… slinkys are chillin till you get abend in one of the rings… then they’re the root of all evil… they never cooperate… and the best toy ever is… glue…

I have a slinky named nigel, he keeps me company when i had to work late nights in the news lab between robotics meetings :slight_smile: 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 :frowning: 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!

My best friend is an imaginary slinky.

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?

PLAYSTATION 2 IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN ALL OF THOSE!!! SILENT HILL 2 IS FREAKY!!

i say 80/20!! i wanna build my dresser and bed out of that stuff

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?!?!?!:confused:

Those are the toys that never get outdated! :smiley:

For me it was defintely LEGOS (later LEGO Mindstorms) and K’nex. Now I play with my computer and “real” building materials.

:smiley:

You all need to get out and smell the nitro

Nitromethane that is. I build and fly R/C model airplanes. Their isn’t anything to compare to building an airplane and than to go out and see it fly. I currently have four planes, including one gasser. I have a Cub, a Spitfire, a sport plane and an Airtrax GS (gasser). Gasser is slang for a plane that uses a gas engine for propulsion.

Lego Mindstorms Robotics is cool - How do u think we prototyped this years’ bot? lol

Altho my trusty computer has got to be my best friend…errr…Fav toy. :smiley:

Where are the Tinker Toys and the Matchbox Cars??? And what about my all time favorite DUPLOS???

Did you ever notice that Lego and Duplo fit together?

I always had fun combining the two and building HUGE things in my hall way…Altho once I go so hight (i think around 7 or 8 feet) it tipped over…the stuff just wasnt tight/strong enough to go higher than that…
