While James masturbates himself to the thought of pwning me with his crushing Nintendo comments, I'm actually going to stay on topic. I can understand why hula-hoops got high on the list. They're fun, they've stood the test of time, and they're cheap. Still, I fail to see how over the course of the years, Legos haven't proved themselves to be the definitive children's toy. Sure, some of the sets have become simplified, but that's mostly with the Bionicle series and the few spinoffs. The Harry Potter sets and Star Wars sets are still as intricate as ever, and thank God for it. I also see why Barbie was in the top 3. I personally disagree with it being over Legos, but that is due to the fact that both boys AND girls can play with Legos. Show me one boy over the age of 4 who is willing to play with Barbies. |

I had a Wooly Willy on some car trip when I was 8 or 9... and the pen stopped working after like five minutes.

Geez, with all the hate for the hula hoop, you'd think it was made by Sony or something. Fanboys. No matter WHAT #1 was gonna be, you weren't gonna be happy with it since it wasn't a Nintendo product. Don't be mad because you were so fat that you couldn't use a hula hoop as anything else than a belt, tubshits.  Lego used to be good, but the past few years they've been shit. WAY too many sets are linear nowadays, with little room for creativity or effort. I had a castle set that took forever to build with mostly standard Lego pieces. Now, a castle set would probably be 4 wall pieces (complete with built-in drawbridge on one), and a roof pieces. It's really fucking sad. Made even more sad since Lego sets costs a fuckton more than they used to. |

I was actually pretty pleased with some of the placements Barbie isn't what made me self-concious, it was characters on TV that looked exactly like me and were hated by all of the other characters

I just found this on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legos, trying to figure out if it really called Legos in the US : The Lego Group's name has become so synonymous with its flagship toy that many use the words "Lego" (collectively) or "Legos" to refer to the bricks themselves, and even to any plastic bricks resembling Lego bricks, although the Lego Group discourages this as dilution of their trademark. Lego catalogues in the 1970s and 1980s contained a note that read: The word LEGO® is a brand name and is very special to all of us in the LEGO Group Companies. We would sincerely like your help in keeping it special. Please always refer to our bricks as 'LEGO Bricks or Toys' and not 'LEGOS.' By doing so, you will be helping to protect and preserve a brand of which we are very proud and that stands for quality the world over. Thank you!

Legos are #3 2 and 1 better be fucking amazing to have beaten Legos EDIT: Fucking BARBIE beat Legos? Great, a toy that made hundreds of girls self-conscious that their feet were flat on the ground, but one that nurtures the creativity of children, effectively making them smarter, isn't as good? If this show was decided by viewer votes, then I'm not surprised by this development, but still, that sucks. |

I had the absolute best Lincoln Logs set ever. It came with this mat that was made to look like the ground in the old west, and it had nice, friendly grassy areas for the cowboys, and then threatening, deadly desert for the indians. I miss those, but when it came to building toys, nothing could touch legos. Absolute best toy for kids ever. |

| Mockery | All of you shut the fuck up about the Nintendo shit and let's get back to talking about the I Love Toys list. I mean really, Lincoln Logs are far more important than your Anti-Nintendo/Pro-Nintendo blatherings... | ||
