Do you ever miss playing with toys?

Post Reply New Topic

Speaking of old games, I went into a pawn shop and saw an NES with a copies of Contra and Battletoads. Oh, those memories of childhood came flooding back all right.

I never stopped playing with toys, my hobby just sort of "evolved". Now I make YouTube skits using my action figures and I still love to buy and collect them.

Here is one of my videos

I do sometimes. I do miss some of my toys I used to have. If I played with them now, I would probably play with them better than I did as a child. Like for example I had a toy kitchen with all the accessories that went with it. I got it for my 4th birthday and I loved it. But when I played with it, I was all messy; like I put plates on the ''hob'' and shoved random ''tins'' in the fridge bit and bunged a load of ''food'' in the kettle and so on. Now I'd probably set it all up splendidly, put all the things where they should go, et cetera.

Yeah......

I never stopped.

I collect McFarlane figures and I love putting together plastic models and LEGO sets.

"Adulthood" can suck it.

No.

I never really even played with toys that much when I was a kid.

Mm, I don't miss it that much, I've tried it once or twice but it's too hard to come up with a story line. I prefer writing fiction stories because the characters move by themselves and live in their own world, stories for me are pretty much just like playing, only a lot easier.

If you like playing with toys, play with them.

I never was really all that good at playing with toys anyhow, I mostly just organized them and lined them up. I do still have a collection of stuffed animals in my room though!

I still play with my toys and have one of the largest Transformers collections in my state. I still enjoy the activity, so why give it up?

Tools are my new toys, and I can use them to make almost any other toys I want in the future!

Sometimes, yes. When I was a kid, going to Wal-Mart was exciting because I might buy a toy, and I never knew what I was going to find.

Now that I've outgrown them, going to Wal-Mart is a bore. I already know what video games are out, and I know before I go to the store if there's anything worth buying or not. Plus, they're usually the same price no matter where you go, unless you buy them used. So it's not like going to a different store will make a difference. :/

I miss my childhood sometimes. *sighs*

I miss toys all the time. When I go to stores I still walk the toy isles and stroke the cases, and think of all the poses I could put them in and how I could stack them and carefully examine all the puzzles and think of how many ways I could start them. Edges first, corners, central picture, by colors of parts etc.

I am pretty into art and art supplies (have been hard core for the past 7 months here is my gallery! http://tempertempest.deviantart.com/) so it is a big consolation, though my gf is starting to think i obsess over art supplies too much and try to buy them obsessively. What do I need three sets of soft pastels, brushes, watercolors, acrylics, paper, sketchbooks, graphite etc. for?

Not any more.
