Ok had to kill sometime today while I waited for an appointment, the strip mall I was in had a Toys R Us so I decided to walk around. Wow, they still have alot of the toys I used to play with, got me wondering what you guys used to play with (not including video games):
85% of what I played with were GI Joes, had hundreds of them (and 99% of those were Joes, and the rest Cobras, didn't make for the greatest fake battles
)
5% of what I played with were legos. Had mostly castle, town, and pirates.
5% of what I played with were WWF toys, had the wrestling figures, had the belts which I used to wear, had the wrestling buddies which I used to act out fake matches with, had all that good stuff.
4% of what I played with were Transformers.
1% the rest, probably made up of a couple of Ninja Turtles, He-Man, Nerf guns, those little green army men, etc.
One thing I never did though was mix and match my toys. Only used GI Joes when playing with GI Joes, only used Transformers when playing Transformers, etc. It never made any sense to me to have some adventure team of Snake Eyes, Hulk Hogan, Optimus Prime, Leonardo, and some plastic dinasour walking around together, or have GI Joe and the Ninja Turtles team up against the Decepticons, but it seemd a lot of my friends did this. Did you guys?
Also I stayed true to the story lines: GI Joes and Autobots were always good guys, Cobras and Decepticons were always bad guys. I would never change this up to even out the sides or make for better battles, even though most of what I had were the good guys. But then I had friends who didn't even know who was who, so they didn't know the good guys from the bad guys. If they had 10 GI Joes/Cobras, they might just put 5 on one team and 5 on another. I always thought you can't team up Joes and Cobras, that's so wrong! What about you guys, were you the same or the opposite?
