Time magazine made a list of the 100 greatest toys of all time. They have it broken down by decade. There's some damn good toys on that list. Between me and my sister we had every toy mentioned from the 80's except Teddy Ruxpin (that guy is creepy) and the Snoopy Sno Cone Machine.

Transformers will always be king to me. It's interesting they chose Blaster and his cassettes as the example of Transformers. He was a cool toy and all but I wouldn't consider him to be the most representative of the line.

Soundwave was the greatest of em all. The best right hand man of all time.

Did you ever see Blaster and Soundwave fight to the death over in Japan?

Nerf Ball: The football was great, but we definitely preferred to play with a K2 if we could. The Nerf Basketball was horrible and pointless.

Weebles: Yes. We stood in the kitchen and threw them as hard as we could through the hallway aiming for the back of the metal front door to our house. We were determined to make them 'fall down'. They fought a good battle, but eventually we were able to shatter one into a few pieces. The remaining Weebles were confiscated by Mom.

I also remember the punch line of a joke that was, "We bulls wobble but we don't fall down." Unfortunately, I don't remember the joke, just the punchline.

Paddington Bear: I have a vague memory of perhaps owning a Paddington Bear when I was very little. It's a safe presumption that I used the bear to swing and hit my big sister until Paddington was replaced by a more durable weapon, Raggedy Andy.

Baby Alive: I remember the commercials. I don't think I've ever actually seen the doll.

Shrinky Dinks: Children playing with ovens. Awesome. Later, in college, I found out one can shrink a frozen pizza in much the same way. It just takes a little longer.

Magna Doodle: No match for a good ol' fashioned Etch-a-Sketch.

Rubik's Cube: Does it last longer if you cheat by peeling off the stickers or by popping out the corner blocks and popping them back in?

Stretch Armstrong: It's hard to put down a Rubik's Cube until one has found a solution. And it's hard to put down a Stretch Armstrong until one has recruited the help of his big brother to stetch, knead, whack, and stretch some more until finally an arm or a leg rips and lets out some weird gooey gel.

Star Wars Action Figure: I get Han Solo and my friend gets Luke Skywalker and we battle it out and the winner gets to make out with Princess Leia.

Mattell Classic Football: You're the little blip that's brighter than all the other little blips. You can't pass the ball because there is no ball. You have no blockers; all the other little blips are on defense and they're coming after you. Just move up and down and up and down until, for no explicable reason, they decide to create a path that will allow you to run right by them. This is the greatest electronic game of all time.

Simon, Speak and Spell, Star Trek Electronic Phasers: I'm not a big fan of the first two, and the Phasers were fragile pieces of junk.

They totally left "My buddy" off that list for the 80's.

My Buddy, My Buddy,
Wherever I go, he goes.
My Buddy, My Buddy,
I’ll teach him everything that I know…

My Buddy and me
Like to climb up a tree.
My buddy and me
We're the best friends that could be.

My Buddy, My Buddy
My Buddy and Meeeee!
