I think I still have my TMNT figures in a box somewhere along with my matchbox cars.

I also miss Jarts/Lawn Darts.

Yup, I've got all my G1/G2 Transformers up on display or in storage. They're a bit too delicate to actually play with anymore

Still have some in some dirty, dusty old cartons. Lots of legos! Many have genitals drawn on them. I wonder why.

Most of them...

Legos
GI Joes
Hot Wheels Cars
NES / SNES
Maybe a few more.

I still have all my military micro machines and terminators. I used to buy a pack every week with my 5 dollar allowance at Toys Я Us. I was a huge gun and military kid! Owned lots of toy guns from M-60's to MP-5's. My brothers friends must have ripped 'em all off. I actually had a mini gun too! Now I would like to collect the damn realistic softair guns.

I once had my camo on with no shirt and rubbed mud all over my chest carrying my M60 and the neighbor laughed his ass off. LOL!

OP, if you ever want to sell your military micro machines I'll take 'em!

I have a Zonk somewhere, it was the generic Montgomery Wards Pong knock-off.

Hummm, I wonder if old knock-offs are worth money?

Millenium Falcon, Tie Fight and X-Wing, all from the late 70's. Unfortunately they don't appear to be worth jack. I have a huge collection of bball cards as well, including a crap-ton of Ripken cards (signed rookie cards and whatnot) and they too appear to not be worth squat.

When Hasbro came out with their new Star Wars line in the 90s, they reused the original ship molds for those ships so they flooded the market. I think that's part of the reason they older vintages aren't worth much unless boxed.

Kids play with my old stuff when we visit my parents. Not much of them left, some lego and some hot wheels cars.

Most of my big lego sets (electric train, monorail, pirate ship, police HQ, to name a few) are in their boxes at my parents' house. Some board games too like Life and Fireball Island but not Torpedo Run. I think they unfortunately got rid of the other stuff I had like all my Thundercats (Cat's Lair, Mumra's Lair, both tanks) and Ghostbusters (HQ, Ecto 1) toys.

not really.

I went through it all about a year ago when my parents had some damage to their attic (nothing of mine was damaged, but they had to clear everything out for the guys to fix the roof)... I kept a couple sentimental action figures that now occupy places on my bookshelves, let my niece pick through to take whatever she wanted (she's really into ninja turtles), and tossed the rest.

I'm not planning on having kids, and if I did, I feel like their enthusiasm to play with my old toys would be about the same as I'd have had if my dad expected me to play with his beat-up old stuff from the 60's.

Still have a case of my 1980's Transformers I break them out once in a while. The classic ones were marvels of engineering.

I still have my legos. I wish I kept the instruction manuals to the sets that I was given. It would be cool to rebuild them all as they were intended to be built. (I would build the set once all the way, play for it for a day, get bored, and tear it all apart.)

Every manual is available online you realize, right?
