This is not a list of the all time best toys. This is the top five all time best gifts from Santa.
#5 Sears: Bat Mobile

This was such a surprise for me. I have no idea how old I was (it was young), but I was blown away. My Mom had also made a Raggedy Andy style kid sized Robin and had him in the car to ride with me. In my stocking were Batman underoos, and a hand made blue felt cowl and cape. Awesome.
#4 He-Man: Castle Grayskull

This was the coolest toy ever (on that day). As a little kid it was the only evil looking thing I owned, plus this was my first year of playing with He-Man and I had THE playset.
#3 Star Wars: Millenium Falcon

This was a fun toy/spaceship/playset. IT had lots of things to do all over the place. Plus it was the mother-fucking Millennium Falcon YO! The 2008 Falcon blows this on out of the water and Hasbro should be ashamed of the $140 price tag as it makes this a collector toy and way too much for parents who are not insane. No I don’t have the new one….My wife would not allow it. I did really want it though…
#2 Transformers: Jet-Fire

Really this was just a sweet-ass Robotech toy. This is the most solid, well built, Transformer of all time…probably. I have no idea why, but I always loved this toy. Jet-Fire would make the list of all time toy line figures for me. (not character, but toy)
#1 G.I. Joe: The Cobra Terrordrome!!


To this day this is the greatest toy ever. Even on a list of all time best toys this would have a shot, if not totally lock down the number one spot. This was one of those toys that I knew even at that age, we couldn’t afford, but I dreamt about this damn toy. I never questioned it then, but I think I need to ask my Mom how the hell she even managed to get this for me. Do I even wanna know? (NO not that…I meant maybe she held someone at gun-point) jerks.
