    		 What was one of your favorite gifts you ever got? I think my favorite was when I got Pee-Wee's Playhouse when I was around 6 years old.

      		 lol, That's funny, They had gotten me the Pee-Wee doll that spoke a few phrases; pre-masturbation scandal.

      When I think back I can only narrow it down to a few, can't quit choose one. They are:

      Night Rider big wheel
      He Man Sword, that made cling-clang noises when you swung it.
      A whole bunch of Ninja Turtle action figures
      NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis.

      Those were my all time favorites.

        		 Back in the 80s and 90s it was actually FUN for a little kid to get a video game console. You could take it out the box and start playing within 5 minutes. Now you need to create a gaming profile, buy a memory card, connect to wifi, update your firmware...it's almost a chore!

            That's funny, I bought my kids a Wii U this year and it took a few hours to setup and update, it was like torture for them lol.

                		 I forget the year, but it was during the Thunder Cats... so... late/mid 80s? In addition to TCats, I was also a Silver Hawks kid. So, of course my parents got me a lot of the toys, which were metallic, btw, great eye candy. I got Tallyhawk, the like... 2 foot wing span one, and Sky Shadow, which while not as large as Tally, was still pretty impressive when you were 7 years old. My grandparents got me a few BraveStarr toys as well, the kind that essentially played Laser Tag with another (which my cousin and I got as well, the next Christmas).

                  		 It has to be my first mini bike. It was a trade though.

                    I got a Laser Tag set too when I was a kid. The only problem was that I didn't know anyone else who had one, so it was essentially useless. After I got bored with just shooting the chest sensor down the hallway I stopped playing with it all together, it spent years at the bottom of my toy chest.
