I had gen 1 bionicles, 90s transformers toys that actually mother fukin transformed PROPERLY was the absolute GOAT and when I'd transform them I'd go eee e oo ee a ooo ee. And a manta force spaceship.
The spaceship was on another level. It had MINI SHIPS AND VEHICLES INSIDE. And little people to sit in the seats and man the systems. And it was so rugged you could pass it down generations.

When I was a kid and in particular a very little kid - I loved vehicles: Matchbox Cars, my yellow Tonka dump truck, etc.
When I was a very little kid I loved dinosaurs. But oddly enough - I don't have any fond memories of the dinosaur figures themselves like I do the vehicles. The figures were just a tool for escapism and fantasy - if that makes sense.
Did you ever play the Tonka pc games? Like tonka spacestation or raceway?
It was analog only for me. I was a boy in the 1970s.
There was definitely a period of my life where every photo is of me and a rusted out Tonka truck
I loved that truck. I'm not one for objects or sentimentality- but, man, I'd love to have that truck now.
