An article on the local news website ranks the top 5 toys of the 80's

http://www.thebostonchannel.com/r/22850039/detail.html

1. Gameboy (No picture needed)

2. Care Bears

3. Transformers

4. Action Figures

5. Rubik's Cube

I can agree with the Gameboy at #1 but not so sure about Rubik's Cube being down at #5, what were the favorite toys in your house during the 80's?

GI Joe and transformers. I was only allowed to have one transformer (they were expensive) and my cousin had a bunch, so I was always jealous!

Toys of the 80's...LOL. Might as well play with rocks.

Toys of the 90's were way better. Talkboy for example:

Stretch was not fond of the heat and met quite a catastrophic end in the 80's.

It was probably the 70's but my Evil Keneval wind up motorcycle with action figure and my tonka trucks were awesome.
