I watched 40 yr old virgin the other day on FX (clean version) anyway, when Steve Carrell pulled out all of the Toys that he collected it reminded me of the toys I had growing up. I was most impressed with the Gi Joe and his Army jeep with 50 pieces that went with it...guns, radios, supplies etc. I am curious what is the one toy that had you been mindful you would have sealed it in a vault to pass on to your kids!!!! The six million dollar man, the etch a sketch, Lincoln Logs, the 500 piece plastic army man? Tell me what toy you wish you could have passed to your children.

I wish that I had kept the 8 or 9 GI Joes and all the related gear, alas, they were regularly played with and after about 20 years in storage at my mom's house, I consented to all them going to my brother for ultimate disposition. I think most of them had to be tossed as the bands in the arms and legs had all dry rotted, as well as the life-like hair and beards.....

Wait you didn't keep all of your Legos and GI Joe??? They are used and in storage for the possibility of passing them off to my future kids some day. I even still have my Lincoln Logs. I have my Atari 2600 in storage.

No I didn't. I kick myself daily for not having my original GI Joes, though they would have been in far from mint condition
