I've gone from studying architecture to making toys.
I have too many irons in the fire as they say, so i'm trying to focus on one hobby for now.
Let me know your favorite childhood physical toys
Mine were probably legos and transformers. Any suggestions as to toys I should check out?
Yes that's Samus in the back ground, she wasn't cheap.
Oh and neither was the Omega Supreme G1 transformer!
I've had to further divide my shelves.
I had a LEGO Mindstorms kit growing up, but it's long gone now. ;(
Holy shit that thing lights up! That is awesome! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Get this. Back when Nintendo still manufactured super nes games and sold them in stores, I went to buy super Metroid, a game I had played as a very youngin and remembered "man that game was cool".
It had a red tag of maybe fifteen-twenty dollars or something like that on it, then when I went to check out it rang up at, one dollar...
Oh yea, and I only bought one...
Geez could I have cashed in.
My motto is keep one in the case, and one out of the case. Yea, that's my new motto...
If you had bought a heap zeeba you could be selling them off for $300 a piece right now. The price hike for resellers is absolutely ridiculous right now.
You know, the metal die cast ones by Maisto? I had a FLEET of those things. Freaking, 20 Mitsubishi A6M2 Zeke's, 7 P-51D mustangs, 8 P-47D Thunderbolts, countless number of Su-35's and MiG-29 Fulcrums, DAMN, you know those Ikea Color boxes? Use to use them as aircraft carriers, make hangers out of lego and couldn't still fit all my aircrafts on the underneath of 3 of those Ikea boxes, by even stacking aircrafts....
Yes, I'm an aircraft nut. :3

Not my images, but just a few finds of what I had. :3
Edit: Photos are WAY too large, just open the linx. x.x
I am a huge g1 transformers fan! Also Original 12" G.I. Joe, Star Wars, Robotech, and others.. I loved legos back in the day too!
My favorite tranformers tho are the "universe" or deluxe versions of the g1 characters, whose bodies and transformations look exactly like the g1 cartoons! (tho I don't own any of them, yet..)
Sounds cool Captain, i'll have to check them out.
