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 |

Legos>all i had the big ball factory from k'nex, it was 5 feet of never ending fun...untill i broke it, about a day and a half after i built it.
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. ------------- Canadians do it on top.

erector sets ftw. anyone else play with those cars that were about the size of a matchbox car, they ran on an electrified track and you controlled them with a little throttle controller. |

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? |

Erector sets were the bomb at one time. Much more complicated to build something and more expensive compared to Lincoln Logs or Leggos....probably why you don't see them any more. They had motors, pulleys, gear sets, pivots & all kinds of extra stuff. You could even build things like a working Ferris Wheel, steam shovel, cars, trains and about anything else you could dream up...... if you had enough pieces. -------------  NRA Certified;Range Safety officer NRA Certified Instructor: Basic Pistol-Home Firearm Safety-Ohio Concealed Carry "Refu |

The castle sets for the legos were the greatest things ever. I had all kinds of them that died when I was at college and my parents decided to paint my room, and rather than move the castles from one room to another, they dismantled them, and since they're well over 12 years old, the instruction booklets are long, long gone. I have an army of over fifty well armed knights chilling in a box under the bed. They came in useful when I found out that one of the girls I went to college with is terrified of legos. |

I loved lincoln logs as well as legos. I made a giant city once out of legos with friends. I still have all the legos in a room dedicated strictly to legos. They've been passed down to my littler brothers, i miss those things  And yea I went to lego land to. It was awful. |

i just went on ebay to see some prices... and some of the INDIVIDUAL lego people alone are selling for like 10-20 bucks. Just the little people like darth vader is like $20 bucks, not even the whole set. -------------
