My neighbor's daughter Katie..........my favorite toy!
Also loved my baseball bat & glove, legos, and my radio that was shaped like the Apollo lunar module (even though we never actually went to the moon). Loved listening to Mystery Theater. -

I didn't really have a favorite. I loved my glow worm, chubble, popple, Carebears, light bright, and the original Polly pockets

A stick. Don't laugh, you can do a lot with a stick and little imagination.

Another one is a big box! My parents bought a new refrigerator one time. Me and my brother played in the big box for weeks. We turned it into a space station. LOL
Nothing entertains my kids now like a cardboard box. -

For me it was either a new TV (console of course!) or dishwasher, washing machine, etc!! By the time we got a new refrigerator I was in college. You lucky son of a gun!!

We had a blast in that box! Dishwasher, washing machine. They were all great.
TV boxes aren't big enough to play in anymore. I feel sorry for kids now lol -

This is truly the saddest (meaning most pathetic) thread I've seen in a long time. I'm sorry you were all so poverty stricken that the height of amusement was a box or a stick
Just kidding guys. I didn't know I was from an affluent family who could afford real toys.
For me (and this is telling my age) it was my Strombecker 1/32 scale slot car set and my Kenner Girder and Panel Building set. If you've never heard of them, check out eBay.

WHAT! you had real toys? heck we even had to build our own toys half the time. My dad was always getting mad at us when we would ruin a whole sheet of plywood to make a ramp for our wagon that was tied on the back of our bikes..lol

I really liked the Gilbert toys. I still have my Gilbert telescope (80X reflector). I also had the Gilbert Microscope and the transistor radio kit.
...and, yes, I'm still a nerd after all these years...
On the other hand, a hole in the ground with a roof over it made of boards and sticks made a really great fort.
Also, for hours of fun, you can't beat swinging on a rope hung from a tree branch, especially if it swung out over water..
