November 8, 201411 yr It's not a true Toy Hall of Fame if this game isn't in the HOF. I got a new one of these about every year for 5-6 years. I even had one that my uncle had when he was a kid.
November 8, 201411 yr Atari Game System is the only one on the list that has not been in my house. I never had an Easy Bake Oven. Always wanted one. So I made sure my daughter got one! Growing up I did not have a Game Boy, Erector Set or Star Wars Action Figures. But I have bought them all for my kids.

November 8, 201411 yr I think we had every one of those growing up. One toy that I think should be added is the old Creepy Crawler Maker. The original one was basically an open hot plate that you cooked you crawlers on. It had zero saftey features. Guess what? Once you burned yourself once you were more careful next time!
November 10, 201411 yr Absolutely...Cardboard boxes were empty canvases that could become anything. Sticks were guns, bats, bat-a-rangs pretty much anything. Blankets and couch cushions could make awesome tent/forts on rainy days. 43. I'm not knocking them as I played with them and my kids do too. Just very surprised to see them listed as a Hall of Fame toy.
November 10, 201411 yr Another one I had and loved. This was one of my all time favorites as well. I would add the Jackie Stewart Formula One Electric Racing Track. Spent countless hours when the weather was bad playing both. We were always outside when the weather wasn't bad...:lol2:
November 10, 201411 yr Not on the list but we had....ON TV "Plus" Man that was some high quality entertainment at times.....It was either ON or OFF....LOL!
