Glad nobody's said this was their favourite toy, but anyone else remember the Tomy Turbo? It was cack.
I totally forgot that I had one of those until you posted that. It was amazing! The amount of realism was superb

Oh yeah, I had that.... xmas present from my Nan.
I used to spend hours setting the thing up on the dining room table hoping that it wouldn't wobble and knock the damn things over before I'd finished. I had heard that you could buy things to put in between the dominos whilst you were still building it to prevent a catastrophe but I never had that so had to rely on having very steady hands.

anyone remember this toy?
Tomy Super Cup Football was the absolute daddy! I loved that game, wonder where mine is now?! Were always losing the balls though!
The biggest electronic toy would have to be Scalextric. Other than that i cant think of any other electronic games.
Pop-up-Pirate was great fun, though not electronic, one of my friends would always take the pirate in the face (so to speak

Lego Robotics... All the joy of lego combined with programable electronics. Was the height of coolness for me. Still have it connected to my webcam (and it still works).
You have that blue lego Cam? That was fantastic. I mounted it on a Mindstorms robot once and drove it around. If only it had been wireless...

Yeah, the wire was a bit of a nuisance all right, too stiff, didn't stop me from turning it into a small weapons platform. For a while people were terrified to come into my room
