Tonka Trucks were the best.

Tonka Trucks were the best.

Die Cast Matchbox Cars rocked.

But, the best, by far, was the die cast Voltron III (the five lions).

Damn near every toy I got as a kid was metal, from robots to trains to Tonka trucks. I had a Tonka fire engine that must've weighed 40 pounds. The locomotive on my Lionel train set was about 10 pounds.

When I see the toys my niece and nephews have (all plastic) I feel bad that they'll never know the joy of slicing their hand open or nearly killing a friend with them.

Happy Holidays to one and all!

i was so into the trains when i was young. we had a big basement growing up and my parents would let me leave up the big town setup. used to watch the train go around for hours. doesn't seem as cool anymore. <P>
to bad my bigwheel wasn't metal. the damage i could have done. <P>

I loved GI Joes but dont remember them being metal. My favorite was the one with the beard, even before the kung-fu grip version came out.

I also like the original Planet of the Apes figures, Star Trek figures and "Legends of the West" plastic dolls, Johnny West, General Custer, Geronimo, Sam Cobra, etc.

I'm old...

I remember when a friend got the GI Joe cannon that fired little plastic rockets, I had to get one. <P>
Though mine had the barrel blocked, and no rockets, but the firing mechanism still worked. <P>
So when I finally broke out the plastic disc blocking the barrel I used to use pens and pencils as the projectiles. <P>
