detrius Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hi All EEEH nearly christmas already.Yippeeee Just finished a night shift,and while i was working hard(as you do).I was thinking of the presents i got for Christmas as a kid.And thought it would make a good festive topic soooo !! A, What was your best toy you ever got as a kid and why ?? B, What did you ask for - and what did you get instead ?? So to start the ball rolling.. My best toy was a big plastic meccano set that was as big as me.I spent hours making cars.And a special chair for my teddy to sit on.(and no i wasn,t in my twenties then either ) And i always wanted an action man like the other kids had.Like eagle eyes.But ended up gettin the (very) cheaper variety that was about an inch bigger than the originals so he couldn,t fit in the vehicles and his arms and wrists didn,t bend (lifes so cruel) Please share yours lol Look forward to hearing them:suspect: Andy M "A Cliffe Kid" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenbabe1966 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hiya Detrius, my best toy i got when i was a kid was my raleigh chopper it was purple ,God i loved that bike i use to clean it every time i used it lol because it had gears i use to pretend it was i car.(i was a tomboy ) I know you hav'nt asked, but I am going to tell you anyway the worse toy i got was a flaming Ventrilaquist dummy now that thing scared me to death, it had ginger hair, big blue scarey eyes , and was dressed in a blue sailor suit with white trim. (dont think it helped when me and my sister watched that film when the dummy was telling the man to kill people )been scared of them every since , we use to keep it under the bed at our nans makes me shudder to think of it lol (i cant even watch the dam things of telly they give me the creeps ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carsupplier Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 The best toy I remember getting for Christmas would have been an Action Man and the second best toy was a Dalek. I asked for other toys as I grew up like my cousins had got, a Bontempi (sp) organ and a Rolf Harris stylophone, but instead I got a machine where you put an old penny in and got a Cadbury's miniature chocolate bar in return and a toy cash register that had plastic coins in it. Unlike some people on this forum (who shall remain nameless) who also had one of these cash registers, I never succumbed to enter a life of crime by fraudulently using the plastic coins supplied with the cash register in vending machines outside local shops.
