Still going on strong today!! I'm going to be 34 in August but when it comes to toys, cartoons and comics I'll always be 12.:)

In truth, I bet the same can be said about just about everyone that posts here.

Why would I ever want to stop being a Toys R Us kid?????:biggrin:

Star Wars no contest. Kenner SW ruled my childhood world. Megos had a big place, but once those SW toys starting rolling out, forget about it.
Any new SW toy was a treat and one of my childhood X-mas highlights was getting the Millenium Falcon.
As as far as favorites inside SW, I was always partial to the Landspeeder as a child since it was easy to play with and "fit in" easily when playing on the floor. The ships didn't have that advantage for me. It's small size also made it easy to take places. Always a plus!

It was always my shogun godzilla vs. my super powers batman and robin and superman. They of course had the batmobile and superman had a jet for whatever reason. If I wasn't playing with those it was hot wheels.

and I had a piece of "Kryptonite". Don't know if you remember the ads in the comic books for this. I managed to get one in a store. Yeah it was a piece of rock spray painted with green glow in the dark paint but I thought it was cool. Besides,I always used it with my Mego Superman. :biggrin:
