To want to know the childhood toy/game you'd still love to have now?

[WeShallHaveFogByTeatime]

Mine would be the flat bed of the Fisher price campervan. He was my best friend growing up, I pulled that truck everywhere (he also had a name)
I can't justify buying one from eBay, but if I see one at a charity shop it's coming home with me and I'm in my fifties.
If I could gift you one of your childhood toys now what would it be?

In the 1960s my brother and I had a board game called Go. You travelled around the world picking up souvenirs. It was brilliant (there is a different game called Go out now). Just seen the old one on Ebay...tempted.

My Sindys and Pippas, in fact I started this year to collect them. To see their little faces has made me so happy and feels like seeing old friends again.

Thanks to this thread I have just bought screwball scramble for my 7 year old. Can't wait to play it. With him of course☺️. I have a vivid memory of taking into school and playing it on the last day. Fab memories. Thanks.

Me and DS11 were talking about this earlier today. We were talking about Hungry Hippos and mousetrap, then Operation and kerplunk
I spent most of my childhood on skateboards, roller boots and bikes

Britains Miniature Garden.

I remember these - didn’t it sing row the boat…

Old fashioned Fisher Price school house! I found the people at my dad's house and DD loves them.

Screwball Scramble. I am struggling to describe it, but if you took it to school on the last day of term, you were super popular

I still have it. It’s still amazing

I had a board game called I vant to bite your finger. It was a vampire game and when you landed on certain spaces he would open his cape and you had to put your finger to his mouth. If you got blood on your finger you lost the game. Always totally amazed me when I saw the 'blood'

This also sounds incredible!!

Lego Fabuland was the best Lego ever. Families and jobs and stories and personalities. My mum has kept a few bits and my kids adore it.

A Game Boy with Pokemon Yellow!

I'd forgotten about stickle bricks! We had them at school.

I never got my 1970s Strawberry Shortcake doll with her puffy hat which I definitely wrote to Father Christmas about. Not even a scented strawberry shortcake eraser, nada. Humph.

I would like my entire collection of these animal figures back. There were 6 per animal type and I must have had about 50 of them. I think my mother disposed of them at some point.

Oh I forgot all about stickle bricks! I used to prefer them to lego when I was little. I'd definitely like to play with them now. I had the fisher price TV too :) I did buy my kids a spirograph, and it got used quite a bit. Including by me!

My speak and spell, went everywhere with me. Loved it!

I always wanted a Mr Frosty, I never got one, I still want one.
I can still remember the advert on TV, when the ice cubes went it and then came out all crushed up, and then the red liquid got squirted on to it 😭

They’ve re-released speak and spell! I loved mine too and I’m tempted to get one for myself the DC, but reviews are mixed.

The big yellow tea pot and my little pony stable which I still have. Great reading, such memories of simple toys

Mine was model theatre stage. It had curtains which opened/closed, backscenes that went up and down, and a selection of people/props to set out scenes on stage. It also had a working spotlight (basically a tiny torch). Never seen anything like it since and keep looking on ebay to see if anyone sells one, but never seen one.

Whilst I loved playing with it (for hours and days on end), I was always sad that my parents couldn't afford a lighting "upgrade" kit which was extra coloured lights that you could put at each side of the stage to light it up in different colours rather than just relying on one white spot light. I used to look lovingly at them in the toy shop but in those days anything electric was very expensive!

I had a battery operated game where lots of little skateboader figures would get dragged up a slope and lined up behind a start game that would then drop and they'd all race around a whirly track to the finish line. It was fun guessing which would win each time. My pet cat at the time loved trying to swipe them off the track too. This was early-mid 80s.

Loved my Sindy bubbling swimming pool too.

Oh and my Flump figures, my Weebles and my Getalong Gang toy, Woolma the sheep.

My talking Barbie and a game called Hands Down.

I’m also really hankering after a Designafriend doll!

I've still got my Scrabble, Monopoly, Yahzee and a few jigsaw puzzles.
