Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What were your favorite toys?

That is funny! I sold a collector case of 24 for $400 back in the 90's. My mother bhad them stashed away. How they survived my brother I will never know.

An old Model 67 Winchester,...hands down my favorite toy.

i had an erector set and lincoln logs but i used them to make other stuff, was constantly building something.

my red ryder was my constant companion. dad even built me a gunrack for it that hung over my headboard.

one time i tried to figure how many bb's went down that barrel. i remember several times relatives buying me those containers shaped like a milk carton with a pour spout and then i got a gift pack of a whole case of wrapped tubes with 500 in each. not counting the times i went to get reloads at the hardware store in town.

i had it way over 100,000 before i lost track. damn thing really held up. can you imagine toys lasting like that now??

I used to set up army men in the garden once fall came - the dried plants made a good jungle. I would make rock and dirt walls as well. The object was to get them all down with one loading of my Daisy 99. I would collect the BBs that I found in the dirt and reuse them.

dang that brought back memories. i forgot about planet of the apes. I had one those playsets also and remember the trading cards?

don't forget the gasoline.

I can remember going over to a friend's house and setting up elaborate ramps for our bikes, just like Evel Knieval. It was right out in the street in front of their house. We'd light stuff on fire in front of the ramps and then jump our bikes over the flames.

i used to love watching Evil Kneivel wipe out on wide world of sports.

Original late 60's Hot Wheels (still have some left that we didn't blow up with M-80's)
Old Matchbox cars (same deal)
Metal Tonka and Buddy-L trucks
Fort Apache in the metal suitcase
Lincoln Logs
Tyco trains (still have them packed away somewhere)
Fishing stuff

My four wives!

theres my bb gun!!! I wore that thing out!!!..if I had a penny for every bb I'd be......

Mostly footballs, hockey sticks, baseball bats, and BB guns.

Was never a huge toy fan. Did have some Tonkas, Matchbox cars, Evil Knievel, stuff when younger. And this guy:

My Davis SXS 16 gauge and Lee hand loader, some shot and primers.
My VZ24 Mauser Sporter in 30-06 and my Lyman Spartan press, primers, some IMR 4320 and 125gr bullets and a field with woodchucks or a wood lot with whitetail...
My Schwinn Typhoon.
My fishing gear and a pot of nightcrawlers.

Nothing else really mattered.

With my brothers egging me on, I shot my rocking horse in the basement with a 22. Dad was not impressed at all.

Be safe and don't shoot rocking horses or your azz will hurt

And this guy:

I still have a few of those Planet Of The Apes trading cards from when I was a kid. Are they valuable?

Outside:
Football, fishing pole, bicycle, slingshot, baseball bat/glove and pellet rifle.

Inside:
Slot cars, checkers, carom board and dart rifle - large army men.

My favorite was a bicycle. I also had some marbles and a BB gun.

Do it! They grow up fast !!!

I had all kinds of army men. I'd mix the Revolutionary War guys up with the green men and mow them down with rubber bands. Even at an early age I was thinking direct fire.
My G.I. Joe stuff was awesome. I had the command center and the submarine. Kung-Foo grip baybeee.

Are we including bondes, brunettes and redheads in the discussion? Just sayin'...
