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!password;944915 wrote:An article on the local news website ranks the top 5 toys of the 80's

My favorite toy was BACK IN MY DAY WE PLAYED OUTSIDE AND HAD FRIENDS AND DIDN'T NEED A TOY OTHER THAN A HULA HOOP AND A STICK.

Toys of the 80's...LOL. Might as well play with rocks.
Toys of the 90's were way better. Talkboy for example:

Star Wars action figures
those rattling M-16 and UZIs where you pulled back a little lever and pulled the trigger to make the noise - then came Laser Tag
Matchbox cars/Hot Wheels

My kid had a Stretch Armstrong and he was born in 1989 so they survived into the 90's.

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