I am currently scratching my head as to why on earth I decided on this topic. As soon as I did, all ideas went out the window.
But let's give the topic a try. Post toys: big or little, child or adult (family friendly
), games, books. Maybe you have some that you or your children enjoyed. I wonder how many of us will find we've enjoyed similar toys in our past.
My personal "toy" - a 72 MGB
A toy I found almost hidden by grass
I don't know how many generations have played with this metal truck. It looks well loved.
A favorite book of mine and my kids and grandchildren

I'll start with a few. I had over 300 die cast (poor man's Jay Leno) but had to get rid of them after moving to our condo.

Beautiful ride! My husband has hundreds of diecast of motorcycles, bicycles and vintage cars!! Plus several hundred model kits still in original boxes. Oh dear, what to do... I recall the Roy Rogers Western Town. We didn't have one (because we were "girls" and back then there were girl toys and boy toys!

Yes Yes - you MUST get it running again. A winter project.
A more recent toy, but not new. 2005 Honda VTX 1300. Bought it new. Still ride it.

Great start, Pat, and I know we still have at
least one Tonka truck buried down in the basement
somewhere, but in the mean time, here are
just some of the 50 or so cast "collector" cars
my mom purchased over the years.
PS Thanks for hosting one again, Pat!
