Lincoln Logs were pretty sweet, vastly superior to tinker toys, IMO
Legos were my favorite, but those are still popular today.

I used to have this awesome robot set that had all these parts that fit together with hexagons. Then there were like 8 motors and wires that all went to this control board where you could control each of the motors for arms or wheels or anything. I'll post pics or names if I can find some, but it was awesome.

I enjoyed Lincoln Logs, but my all time favorite was Legos. Man, I had tons of Legos...still do stored somewhere or other...If I ever had some free time, I'd like to dig them up again.

Those were awesome!  I remember playing with them at my Grandmother's house because there was absolutely nothing else to do.

K'nex anyone?

Dang, Hybrid beat me.

legos, i did the bath tub thing, i built so many things with those.  Micro machines were amazing, I used to buy those at wal mart when i was like five. K'nex, gahhh so many memories.  There were limited possibilties with lincoln logs though, and i always ended up making a poop joke

i got so fed up of them not floating i got my mom to get me the ones that they advertized "to actually float" which it did untill it got filled with water. many of good lego men lost there lives goin down the drain.

YES! and they went up the wall with the "U" shape track peice.

Or the hot wheels track with the loop to loop and you would make the track go as high as the clip on the bottom would go, and have mulitple loops, or jumps
what?
