Do you still play with toys?

[Perfection]

Most of you are out of the whole "Toy phase" of life but do you still play with "childrens" toys?

I myself often unwind with a bag of lego bricks a spiralgraph or the Etch-A-Sketch.

So do you still play with toys? If so which ones?

Sometimes I'll break out the legos with my boys, and do that. Occasional squirt gun fight with them, or hot wheels. But that's about it.

 

[Hygro]

Legos, playmobil, or if I'm feeling really inner-toddler like, I bust out the toy cars (vrrooom!)

 

[Eastern Knight]

no

 

[naervod]

Sometimes I will bring out my huge Lego collection, and my parents will wonder what on earth I'm up to. I don't know if these count as toys, but sometimes my friends and I play Magic: The Gathering (old-school style of course) if we feel like it.

Often I'll help my son with "his" Lego for an hour, and then realise he'd wandered away 3 minutes into the demonstration.

Being a carpenter and compulsive tool collector... oh sorry, nice block, Perfection.

 

[Stapel]

Yes!

A lot!

The difference between men and boys, is the size of their toys!

I guess Stapels toy is a Fiat 850 coupé

No I dont play with toys, unless you count civ as a toy ofcause..

 

[Eastern Knight]

The Civ boardgame is a toy.

Yeah....
It feels the same. I remember the endless joy and pride when I got this technical lego box for my eleventh birthday (off road, 4 cylindres, 3 gears, red chairs).

That same endless happiness came to me, when I received a new Abarth exhaust, camshaft and oil meter system, by mail last year.

If one could still buy some decent lego I would. But today there are only set constructions. No fun. No creativity involved there.

I do play a lot of card and board games though. But that's not considered playing with toys is it?

Office toys, sure. Water pistols, fake basketballs, etc.

 

[Xen]

rarelly, but somtimes- I seem to be with every one else in the occasional use of Legos

 

[Turner]

What is it about lego's that we all do it? My god. . . I thought I was the only one. . .

Something about them, tho. . .I'm 12 again, dumping them on my bed and just start building. . .

Alas no! I really regret giving away my Lego all those years ago. Sigh, I had great fun with it.

As for remaining toys, most of mine are long gone. The remnants take pride of place on a shelf along with other select treasures.

I feel sorry for when I have children of my own...I don't know whether it'll be myself or them that plays with the toys most. And we will have Lego once again

 

[CivCube]

I still like to break out my Transformers every now and then. They're great for when you're bored.

 

[cgannon64]

Nope. Near the end of last year I had an enjoyable phase were a friend and I made movies with action figures. (Don't ask.)

But that's about it, and we have parted ways and don't see each other very often any more...

 

[DS_Legionary]

Every once in awhile I get out some Legos or Linkin Logs (I love those things) and just start buildin with them. But nowadays I spend most of my play-time on my bass or outside playin football.

 

[Wolfe Tone]

If my PS2 counts as a toy then yes. If not then no.

Buy a few packs of bulk bricks and you'll be set, you can buy them at their website!
