I LOVE Lego! Completely agree: irony of it is that you only truly appreciate how awesome it was when you grow up and find yourself wishing you could still be 10

I remember playing Street Fight on the Sega. And I was really good at it and beat everyone. I played it a long time, and then my 3 year old sister (I was 8 at the time) completely destroyed me. And now whenever we play video games, I make sure we play games when we can play co-op =D

The one thing that I’ll never part from is Sonic the Hedgehog, especially the original 3 games. Good times, indeed.

@Tom: I had a few Visionaries figures but nowhere near the amount of some of the other sets. They were pretty cool though, I have to admit. Thanks for the comment anyway, and thanks for the re-tweet

@Amy: The North American SNES was a really boring looking console. The PAL version was a much better design in my opinion… even down to the controllers.

3. Not only do I still have my SNES, I’ve shipped the damn thing all the way from Canada! I’ll never grow up….

2. I can still remember learning how to ride a bike without training wheels. First taste of freedom!

My Thundercat figures had to use the Ghostbusters base. It wasn’t ideal but they all got along.

Did anyone else collect Visionaries figures? They were class and some great vehicles.

Lego was my favourite though, probably still is! Might get some for Christmas…..

The nights we used to play Street Fighter2 and Mario Kart were awesome, like you said microwave pizza and coca cola fuelled ass whoppings were never far away. But you putting lego at the top spot was the only way it could ever have been, to be honest I still think about it now, the way the Lego pieces used to click together with the most satisfing sound, and how the pnuematic rams force apart whatever bits of Technic were to hand.
Oh it all takes me back.
