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?

Not RTFT but my Bluebird A La Carte Kitchen. I think I wrecked it trying to cook beans in it!

Beans and a Swiss roll?!

My ~45L plastic box full of Lego. One particular set I had, new and sealed, is currently selling for over £1,500.

Play doh MopTop hair shop, the figures sat in a barbers chair and the playdoh was squished up through tiny holes creating hair that you could style and cut .Melody madness, a music game on an electronic jukebox with lights on the screen that played music. My entire garbage pail kids card collection. My entire Smurf figures collection. Fashion wheel. Bunty, Misty and Mandy annuals. Girl's World styling head.

This was the merry go round

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.

I bought this for my husband on Ebay a few years ago because he always talked about it. We played it once and it's sat on a shelf ever since. I didn't find it as amazing as he did, nor did our kids!

Oh sorry to hear that. The 1960s were different times of course, not so much choice of entertainment as nowadays.
