Tempest Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 We had a barrel of monkeys when we were kids. I always preferred Tinker Toys though. I guess I've always been a builder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I liked the Erector Sets, too. Cut myself many times on those little metal girders and strips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I'm telling you. Those were the best. I had a set that had electric motors, so you could build working cranes, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fRequEnCy Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Wow! You guys sure were productive little ones. I spent my child hood sitting on my a$$ in front of the tv playing video games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Wow! You guys sure were productive little ones. I spent my child hood sitting on my a$$ in front of the tv playing video games. "Productive" wasn't what my dad called me when stepping on the erector set pieces in the dark early AM after Christmas.. Let's just say I was a little confused and thought my name was "GD-It" for a few days after... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Rygar Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 I had those sets too, with the working motors! Though I think I had a cheap knock-off called "Steel Force" or something. I remember the sets used allen wrenches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 There was no such things as video games when we were growing up. We did all chip in, and bought a Pong game from Sears when that came out. Too bad we don't still have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I had an Intellevision and a TRS-80 back in the day. And some Sears multi-game thing before that (which I was entertained by for all of two days).Hmm, I guess I suck because we were the motors when we built stuff... I had a bajillion legos. That was my thing.And the cats are climbing the curtains to get to my crack so they can pee on the carpet. (I think that covers everything!)

celly Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Lincoln Logs and Legos. Never had the Erector Set or knock off brand set. Growning up we had a market that would give us a quarter for a soda can. Needless to say our area of the neighborhood was super clean. We'd trade those cans in and get a slice of pizza or play a game of Pac Man. I hate how California doesn't have pizza by the slice anywhere.
