I want everybody to list what's your favorite, give it some thought and share, so we can all say " yeh that was a good toy, I remember having that " haha. Now to make it clear and not get a ton of responses of what determines a favorite or in which instance I'll make it clear.

Give a toy for each of the following

1)Favorite toy as a child:something your played with till the paint faded or broke, or something you begged your parents to buy you for X-MAS

2)Favorite toy in your current collection: something you take a great deal of pride displaying, showing, playing with, the 1 toy you'd grab if your place was on fire

3)Favorite toy you don't own:this is something you've seen but haven't found online, in stores, you could of owned it as a child but lost/sold it and now want it back

3 answers from us all should be easy, you can have ties or multiples listed

me: Imo answers: 1)3 way tie between my ghosbuster car and warehouse building set, my TMNT sewer and techno drome, or my gi joe big 3-4' long battle set, it was like a giant tank, that had an aircraft carrier top, that split apart and this giant missle launcher came out and shot this huge missle off. I've looked on ebay for it and could never see anything like it

2) favorite toy in my collection.. I made a hulkbuster Ironman from a mcfarlane robot figure, turned out awesome, I built it because I figured I'd never ever get my hands on a ML version as they're expensive online, 2 weeks later traded my 30'' matell batman figure for a hulkbuster Iron man, so hulkbusters are tops on my list, my baf sentinel and overall Iron man collection are tops on my list.

3) From the minute I seen Hot toys Iron man figures I said I want them all. Due to sheer financial issues I can not afford/ able to justify the purchase, but someday I will have 1 or more.

1. Favorite toys as a kid, my entire gi Joe collection and various transformers. Also those pink muscle men.

2. Gotta go with the rotf bruticus with fansproject kit. Probably close second hot toys Joker. I'd have to stuff a bunch of Marvel Universe figures in my pocket also, archangel, Jim lee wolverine, Juggernaut, custom vision, thanos, custom super skrull soldier and whatever else would fit in the other pocket,

3. Fansproject City Commander with Ultra Magnus, too expensive but what a cool piece.

Getting back on-topic, here are my answers to your questions:

1. Mego Spider-Man. Played with him when I was a toddler until I lost him when I was around 4 years old. A close second would be my original AT-AT. Ended up selling it when we moved again (being a military brat does have its downside).

2. That's a tough one. I have so many Transformers, my first inclination would be to grab them all, or at least certain series. I guess the first one I would grab in case of a fire is my SDCC 2009 exclusive Soundwave. This is of course assuming my family is already outside and safe.

As for something I like to fiddle with or show off to friends, I guess it would be Masterpiece Grimlock, for now.

3)Favorite toy you don't own:this is something you've seen but haven't found online, in stores, you could of owned it as a child but lost/sold it and now want it back

3. At one time, I would have said my old Kenner AT-AT (as mentioned above), but since I've gotten the new version, I like it better and no longer want the old version.

At this point, it's a tie between G1 Fortress Maximus and ROTF Bruticus Maximus w/Muntioner and Explorer from Fansproject.

1. Star Wars Power of the Force Millennium Falcon. Used to play with it on a daily basis.

2. 2008 Legacy Collection Millennium Falcon. The biggest toy I own, and probably the best. I do need to mention the G.I. Joe Sigma 6 Lt. Stone, as I think it's the single best action figure I own,

3. MP Prime. Want one so badly. Also add any of the Dark Knight or Iron Man Hot Toys figures.

@trebleshot, I've seen pictures of the ROTF Bruticus w/FP kit and heard a ton about it before I finally got it about a week ago and like i said, it's my favorite piece out of everything that I have. I picked up the ROTF Superion with FP add on's and the Bruticus blows it out of the water. There's been a few ROTF Brutics with the Munitioner and Explorer sell for less than 200 but they are usually missing the other two TF's that the FP kits replace.

@Haloid1177, the MP Prime is a really nice piece. My second favorite piece after the Bruticus. You might be able to find a pretty good deal for the MP Prime on eBay.
My Hot Toys Joker (V1) is also one of my favorites and a great looking piece. The Iron Man HT that i've seen with the light up features is pretty cool also.

1: Favorite toy as a kid, I'd have to go with G1 Jetfire, he was my first "big" TF, I absolutely love that toy to this day, and the design holds up well to this day, heck, he even looks ok on the MP shelf... It's because of him I have a decent collection of VF-1S Roy Fokker versions.

2: Favorite toy now: Man, that is tough MP Prime is probably the favorite toy, but he can still be had... I'd grab my MIB G1 Prime signed by Peter Cullen, and the Optimus cookie jar if I could.

3: Grail: Car Robots (RID) Lucky Draw Black Fire Convoy. It is the one and only official Black Prime I need. I am having someone do me up a custom, I'd love to have it, but as we know Lucky draws are priced like used cars. And even if I could swing it, I just can't justify plunking down nearly two large for it. But damn, do I ever want it.

1-It would probably be the ninja turtles.
2-That's a tough one. Living in Florida you kinda have to have an escape plan just in case we get a bad hurricane. So we actually have the most valuable transformers in a case ready to go in case of an emergency. But if I could only take one it would be my MIB Peter Cullen autographed Buster Prime.
3-Man I wish there was a partsformer of Powered-up Optimus (jetfire combo) that was screen accurate. That would be sick! I'm hoping Takara will do something like that with the new model kits that are coming out!

1. My Mighty Max dragon island set was really cool, I remember getting it for Christmas and I played with it nonstop. It also reminds me of my godmother who passed away, she used to hook me up with a Mighty Max set every once in a while, because she was just awesome like that.

2. My Hot Toys/Sideshow stuff is pretty important to me, there are too many to list.

3. When I was really little some family members bought a large collection of original Rambo figures with vehicles, accessories,...etc. Of course my moron cousins destroyed them, but it would be cool if they survived. There were a few really rare Transformers in there too.....damn those were cool. I remember the bat one, it was awesome.

1. Really tough for me to just choose one. I'd say it's a 3-way tie with Lion-O, G1 Slag, and all my ninja turtles.

2. Another tough one, as it's down to G1 Jetfire or Predaking. But if I must pick one, Jetfire for sure. Or the Imperial Shuttle.

3. You know what I really do love and would love to start a collection of, is Marvel Statues. There are so many I'd really enjoy getting, but they're too expensive and I have no room as it is.

That's not a bad deal and I would probably jump at a chance to pick it up at that price, but I really can't justify the price right now. I might be stuck going to secondary market to get them eventually (and probably pay more in the long run), but I can't afford it at the moment.

1. Favorite toy as a child is a tough one. I had so many great things because I was just spoiled and blessed. My entire collections of Transformers/GI Joe/He-Man/Battle Beasts would probably qualify here. If I have to scale it down, I would have to say it would be a three-way tie with Optimus Prime/GI Joe Night Raven/Castle Greyskull. And since I had so many toys, they all usually played together, when I think back those were the pieces I played with the most. Those and any Headmaster toy or Battle Beast toy that were nearby.

2. Also a tough call. I guess my #1 would be my Car Robots Grand Maximus. I always wanted a Fort Max as a kid, and when I learned about the Japanese releases later in life I had really wanted a Brave Maximus. When they released the Grand Max as part of the Car Robots series I immediately jumped on the preorder and I am so glad I did. Best purchase I ever made for one of the greatest Transformers ever made. I would probably throw Unicron, Masterpiece Prime, G1 Soundwave, and Predaking in this boat as well. Others I would make sure to grab would be my Python Patrol STUN, Cobra Mamba, all of my Battle Beasts, my Tiger Force Bazooka (FUDGIES!), and my Slaughter's Marauders Low Light.

3. I can make this equally as long as the previous two responses. I'll try to just make it a short list: G1 Victory Saber, Brave Maximus, Omega Spreem, Black Zarak, Cobra Terrordrome, Cobra BUGG, Medicom RAH Daft Punk set, USS Flagg, Defiant Shuttle.

1)Favorite toy as a child:something your played with till the paint faded or broke, or something you begged your parents to buy you for X-MAS

Okay, okay, I can do this... favorite toy as a child... OH! Cheetor! Transmetals Cheetor! I loved that toy to death! Or rather until his ball joints were worn to the point of flailing. It took me months to hunt him down in the first place, and prior to that was the Space Shuttle Mega Rig.

2)Favorite toy in your current collection: something you take a great deal of pride displaying, showing, playing with, the 1 toy you'd grab if your place was on fire

Probably my MSiA Gundam NT-1 Alex, or my Squirtle Plush. the Patriot Grizzly and NAC are strong contenders too. Oh, and Unicron.

3)Favorite toy you don't own:this is something you've seen but haven't found online, in stores, you could of owned it as a child but lost/sold it and now want it back

Megazords and/or the Devil Gundam.

1. Probably my "80's G.I. Joe HISS tank. That thing is the reason I try to pick up each new HISS that Hasbro releases these days...

2. Tough choice. Probably the 18" Hellraiser Pinhead by NECA or the LOTR Balrog by NECA (25" tall, 36" wingspan).

3. I'd say my most wanted is the Devilman OVA figure by Fewture. I have the other two, and I've never been able to get this one, other than a variant. The regular fig still manages to elude me 'til this day....

2) iGear's PP01/MP Prime

3) Right now it's probably the MOTU 200x Castle Grayskull

1) My favorite toy as a kid was definitely my V2 Snake Eyes closely followed by my 1992 Deadpool.

2) My figure I have today is a toss up between my Hot Toys Midnight or S.T.A.R.S. Albert Wesker

3) I totally regret passing up a Hot Toys RPD Leon S. Kennedy figure at around retail about 2 years ago because the price on him had stayed pretty low for so long, I thought they would never increase in value. They now go on ebay for around $600 to $800. I also regret passing on the Hot Toys DX Joker but at the time he was released I was really tight on money. Also I regret passing on the first ML Deadpool some years ago at Target but I wasn't into comic figures as much anymore so I passed. I kick myself in the teeth every time I think about that.

3)Favorite toy you don't own: I really want a Generation one Megatron, but I wouldn't mind having the Game of Death Bruce Lee from Enterbay.
