The Millenium Falcon was the greatest toy any boy could ever have.  Star Wars toys rocked!!!  

My uncle's hard sausage he used to keep in his pocket was my second favourite toy!!

I was only talking about this the other day!  I had this space ship thing that used magnets to walk people around the space ship!  Can anyone remember it? I can't for the life of me remember what it was called!!!

I has all Star Wars and everything like that!  Wish i was a kid again.  Can't wait to have kids so i can get toys again, not just yet mind  :?

  After the birth of kids it tends to be the missus that wants the toys.

I think I had something like that but I can't remember what it was called either, it rocked. I also had lots of Star Wars toys :D My favourite was probably making sellotape racing tracks on the landing in my old house and racing the cars around, vrooooooooom.

Again Star Wars for me is probably the all time fave.

Have to mention Crossbows and catapults mind.  Superb destructive fun, build your castle up with the big plastic bricks, hide your men about the place then go hell for leather at each other until you either land a bolt on the opponents treasure or all the little men are dead.  Used to have about three different sets and have four way battles.

Absolutely class that, a mate bought it off Ebay not long back and we spent a long weekend playing it constantly... pure magic. We cheated a bit and used Jenga pieces to reinforce it a bit, you could create some insanely indestructible structures with that.
