when you were a child and your toy box would get over full (hopefully it did) what did you have to do with your toys? did you have to toss them? pack them up and store them? give them to siblings? pile them in the corner. just wondering. :mrgreen:



please discuss.



i have none of mine. my mom might have something hidden away but it more a momento now then a toy. we have ALL of my sons stuff boxed and stored. we have a full sized moving box full of wind-up toys alone. :blsmoke:

I still have on my desk a Jack in the Box called Mr Peeks. The clown that comes out is a little creepy but I still like it and I can't help but smile when that little guy pops out. All my kids and my grandchild also like Mr Peeks. When I die they will fight over him. I think that is all I have left from my childhood.

They were either given to charity or other people younger kids. I finally gave away all my Hot Wheels to the little boy who lives next door. (I have a great relationship with my next door neighbors, I would not want to live next door to ANYONE else)

I can't even remember my childhood just small parts of it but for the most part I draw a blank when I try to remember. I know it was stressful and I had toys but I don't have any of them left. I have lost everything I own twice so far, I've only been able to hold onto a few things. They are my music, ,my guitar, grow equipment, my backpacking stuff, my two hand made japanese chef knifes, and my surfboard. I guess I am a traveling, weed growing,surfer, chef, music lover! :mrgreen:
Everything is always changing I'm just trying to go with the flow . . .

what wasn't destroyed in the great fire of 88 in my childhod home, was not worth keepng anyway....all my legos, my star wars action figures comlpete with deathstar that had a compacting trash room, even my wet willy and slipnslide outdoor sprinkler we used to run through got destroyed. My parents weren't cheap, but after that I remember them deliberately not replacing an of it, instead I started receiving a lot of sweaters and books as gifts.

I guess I have a few things though now that I think real hard, cause I just remembered my Don Drysdale rookie with smoke damage....my cards I still got those....including garbage pail kids first edition....and I know I have matchbox cars but have know idea where they are at.
