Mine is an adult toy in the truest sense of the word. I call him BOB ( battery operated boyfriend)

Well if you’re talking about KIDS toys I had every kind of metal and wood puzzles they ever made…you know those things that you figure how to separate the individual pieces and put them back together…I loved those things

But for a toy in the truest sense of the word I’d have to say “Whizzers”(I think they were called)…they were small tops that you rubbed on the ground to get them spinning really fast and then it was up to you on how you wanted to play with them

I haven’t thought about them in years…I wonder if they still make those things? Now I’ve got an urge to get one and play with it

I’m answering for my SO and me here. LEGOS! We love Legos. We play a lot with his nephew but we have a bunch here that we play with when he’s not here.  
We were told about a Lego store halfway across the state. Of course we had to go. They have bins full of every brick you can think of (except windows and hinges). We both bought a bucket and came home to play. I don’t have any favorite adult toys. No cool machines or anything like that so I’d have to say the computer is my favorite non-kid toy.

My KAWAI ES1 digital piano.

And it is so great to be able to play the piano with earphones on in the middle of the night and not have to worry about waking anyone.

Really good sound!

I had a multi-hitting bucket/bong that I made from scratch and it was truly a thing of beauty. But, alas, it was not a joy forever as I gave it away to a friend who then had it confiscated. Just the thought of it being alone and unused on a shelf somewhere saddens me to my very core, but I’d need a major change in lifestyle if I was to build another one.

Streetpilot 2610.

SO much fun, and I get SO much use out of it.

Okay, it’s got a hiccup or two, but in the main, a dam’ fine piece o’ gear.

Ooh…Legos. The greatest dilemma in putting together our nursery is where to move the 15 Rubbermaid containers of bulk Lego. There would be more room in the basement for them if we didn’t have boxes full of the original Lego boxes taking up space! I expect to receive Lego Primo when I give birth. 😃

Adult toys? Hmm…I do like wielding my hedgetrimmer like a lightsaber, but on the whole I can’t say I enjoy trimming back the bushes every year. My power sander and saws are cool, but I don’t use them nearly enough.

P.S. **congodwarf** , is the store [The Construction Site](http://www.constructiontoys.com/)?

I collect 70s toys so I would never make fun of you…

My favorite…

Big Jim action figures and adventure sets.

My set of Japanese traditional drums that I built from scratch! Hell raising loud when two or three of us get going on them. Now if i can just find an old wine barrell for the kodo…Mwahahahaha!

Ooh… it’s so close, between my SNES and my GameCube. I think at the moment my GameCube wins out, because I’ve played the SNES to death, and the controllers are currently nanged. But the SNES is still the all powerful best console ever, in my opinion. Also getting honourable mentions are my N64 and my GBA.

My PC is not considered a toy for these purposes, as it is used for work as well as play.

For me, its gotta be firearms. Any type, any kind, any size. If it goes bang and flings a projectile at a high rate of speed at a distant target I’ve gotta have it.
