Sunrise dolls are worth some money nowadays probably up to 40 to $50 a piece if they're in good shape and if you still have the package maybe even higher

I like Lincoln Log and Legos there was a metal build set but I can't remember the name right now it's on the tip of my tongue I hate that
Other than that I was always outside playing and riding bicycles and big wheels we had a race track at the school and we would slide them on the concrete and little bit of sand that was on the concrete

Stuff like this. Decades later I was backing a huge articulated loader into a spot to be worked on. I got confused then I remembered playing with my little toy one as a kid. I knew where the back of the machine was and what I needed to do from that toy.

My  Talkgirl.  If you’ve seen Home Alone 2, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Also, my  Gameboy Color.  Seems like every kid had that. I remember my parents calling every store you can think of to see if they had it. When it first came out, every store was sold out. I finally got it, though and it was great. I took that thing  everywhere. 😊

My Easy Baked Oven. I loved baking cakes and brownies from the little boxes of cake mix and the little boxes of frosting I would mix up and spread on them.

Legos, but there was a process: Step 1 - Buy a Lego package Step 2 - Open the package, throw away the manual Step 3 - Shake and mix new legos with old ones, in a massive and dusty bag Step 4 - Open the bag, play, invent any random structure or vehicle

FunkyMonkee · Answer

The Strange Chane Machine. It was basically an electric hot plate with a plastic dome over it that had a sliding door. Along with it came these little green, yellow purple, etc. squares of plastic with the Mattel logo stamped into each side. You put one or more these into the dome once it's heated up a bit and watch the square (s) slowly open up into these grotesque alien creatures! I came housed in a plastic alien landscape so, you could position your creatures on it and let your imagination take over as to what they were doing. When you were done playing with one, you'd put it back under the dome to soften it and then drop it into a hand-cranked metal compressor. You'd crank the compressor tighter and tighter onto it and it'd be formed back into the square you started with with the Mattel logo on each side!

My imagination. We were poor. I didn’t have a lot of toys. I remember loving my Slinky especially. I also had these puzzles.

But when i was young there was no internet. So we had to learn how to solve them the old fashioned way! 😂😂
My Rubik’s cube gave me fits though!

I was a builder. My parents gave me a set of Lincoln Logs for my 2nd birthday, and I played with them into my teens. I later had a huge set of LEGOS.

Staximus · Answer

I can’t remember what it was called, but it was a black 70’s Corvette car toy. When you lifted up the hood, there was a keypad that you used to type in a number sequence. Different number combinations would make it do different things like drive in a figure eight, go forward and turn right, etc. This was pretty complex for a toy in the early 80s
