Favorite toys as a child ?

Living in Cinti as a kid and home to Kenner where my mother worked, I had Star Wars toys before I even knew what Star Wars was. It seemed like she was always bringing new stuff home for us to play with. Some of it stayed, some of it vanished after about a week or two. I still have a lot of the Star Wars men, none of the space ships any more. Mom pitched that stuff when I went into the Army.
I remember having the original Alien figure, tons of play dough, 6 Million $ Man and the Kenstruct sets.
We also played an awful lot of "war" with other kids in the neighborhood. But I have to say,my favorite was my bike. It gave me freedom, and now my cars have replaced the bike for the same reason.
