"Most people collect toys for nostalgia. Sure, there's money to be made doing it, but money can't buy a ticket back to your childhood to relive the memories of pretending to be in a far-off land, saving the universe, or falling in love with a bunch of Barbies or Transformers. This open channel is about that part of toy collecting. It's about remembering the good old days. We want to know: What toy from your childhood do you wish you still had?…."

I had this amazing fully transformable alpha fighter from Robotech the third generation. It was fairly small, and while I did manage to acquire one of the larger ones years later, but none was so easy to transform and well built as that 5" one from when I was in high school. I also had a Shogun Warriors Godzilla that I wish I still had, but I did break the fire breath handle, so if I had one now, I'd get a fully functioning one. |

I was stupid when I was younger and sold off a lot of my 2" plastic toy soldiers/cowboys/Indians. Oh well, at least I wasn't like one of my bosses, who traded his early X-Men comic collection for a set of tires… |
