Anyone else find themselves still getting impulses to buy certain childrens' toys when they see them?

I got myself a colouring book today to try and ease my stress, having seen a local aspie man sitting colouring in the library and having done a lot of it when a little younger.
I also love bouncy balls(the toy kind ) , marbles and water pistols and any really silly little pockey money toys.
I just have a real thing about toys.

I like stuffed animals too, but actually I collect owl stuffed animals and figurines.

Any toys at the thrifty store that are older than I am.
Any handmade toys.
My most recent aquisition is a family of old crocheted panda bears made by a very elderly woman.

I have this same impulse a lot (I'm 27). One of the few things that really excite me at istinct level is videogames (but then I can get bored when actually playing), I like coloured sheets, round coloured objects and many other things I am not supposed to like at my age.

If I see a Transformer in the store, I have to pick it up and check it out. Haven't bought one in about 2 years though.....

*takes a quick glance at the 3 "My Pretty Ponies" setting above the desk*

Nooooo not me...never. :wink:

Funny thing is I didn't even "like" the things when I was a kid. :lol:

LOL I still buy lots of kids toys. Usually online because I don't go to shops much. I like bouncy balls as well, Graelwyn. I went to the Imperial War Museum today and bought a squidgy toy tank, a kids' compass, 2 badges and a toy plane lol
I like colourful fun things like magnetic marbles and toy things you can buy at the zoo.
I also love playing with toy cars.
