Many Lego sets and I got a few pretty big ones for Christmass or whatever like this one:


However, my bike was the best.  My dad bought this  1984 Supergoose from his boss who used to race BMX.  We were fairly broke but he was able to get this on good deal, probably for working extra Saturdays or some shit just to hook me up.   It was so much lighter and nimble than all my friend's bikes, even those who had something good like a Kuwahara or Diamondback.  Maybe some Hutch or GT were better, I dunno.

Fuck yeah! One of the first guns I rattle canned. Wish I still had it.

Wasn't worth a shit in burst mode (think shotgun). But deadly from a decent range in semi.

We used to play the hell outta this game.  I really think this game is responsible for my love of handguns.

I had the Captain Maddox from the same set. I always wondered "who the hell is Captain Maddox?"  Everyone knew General Custer, but who the hell was Captain Maddox?

Yep.

Had an RC10 with Novak ESC and reciever, Trinity motor, Reedy batteries, and an Airtronics XL2P radio.

Saved up every cent from a paper route for that car setup.

Honestly, no picture necessary.  It would be a football or a bicycle.  Loved the pick up football games as a kid in the neighborhood.  You remember, when we played outside.

Fun fact:

Lego is a Danish company, and the name "Lego" derives from the Danish words that mean "Play Well" ("Leg Godt").
