    Well, my skateboard and bike were obviously my favorite. I grew up at a time where we were running around all day and didn't come home until we were hungry so those toys made transportation possible.

    However, some of my other toys were more odd. I loved these. Who would have guessed that Artemia nauplii and precipitated salts in these toys would be involved in the hobby that I'm so involved in.
