Cool Stuff

As a child I loved playing with Legos. In fact, I would still love playing with Legos, I just don't have any. I really look forward to Daniel being old enough to play with those great plastic bricks without trying to consume them. I just hope that I'll be able to find some good, old bricks, not the newfangled sets that require no creativity (or even construction). I still remember building our first aircraft carrier upstairs(?) in the house on Maire Island, the first of many Carriers to come. I know there were a lot of toys that we had as kids. Maybe even some that, at the time, we thought were "better" than our Legos, so what do you guys think? What were (or are) your favorite toys?

I think Ben's approach to this subjuct was too gentle. This really should be a fight over which toy was best. Obviously Legos would beat the living daylights out of any other toys out there. It would get more interesting the more specific you got, like Snake Eyes and Duke vs. Storm Shadow and Lady Jay. You might be saying "but Lady Jay and Storm Shadow aren't on the same side!" That's the beauty of toys though; imagination makes everything better.
