Ubuntu Unity, except for the "cool" part.

I remember having the Sesame street one, maybe the garage too. And yes they ruled when I was little.

The castle was endlessly stormed by virtually every action figure I had, and my hamster, who could go down the trapdoor.

My wife's mom saved the A-Frame set from when the Mrs was a child. I'm not sure if it was initially a vacation home, or ski lodge or what but it's pretty neat. Both my kids spent time on it when they were little. I had the garage when I was young and loved it.

I've looked more than once on the net for a picture of the boy with the hat and the smile that says 'Yea, I did just piss in your cereal." to use as an FB profile picture. My Google-Fu is weak.

We had the ferris wheel, garage, and airport. In fact, there still at my parents' house and my kids love to play with them when we go there. The in-laws still have the circus train and Sesame Street toys. They have a McDonalds, but I think it may be a Weeble McDonalds. Anyway, my kids still get to play with half the stuff on the list. Still fun all these years later.

Although the design is different, the current generation of FP Little People toys is still pretty good.

10. Construction Set: Had it
9. Action Garage: Had it
8. Airport: Nope
7. Western Town: Had it
6. Circus Train: Had it
5. Ferris Wheel: Nope
4. McDonalds: Nope
3. Castle: Nope
2. Family Farm: Nope
1. Sesame Street: OH HELL YES! Or at least one of them, a "clubhouse" it was called, and like a slide that you'd put the people in and they'd come out the side. My mother still has it in fact, my three year olds have played with it.

I had the garage one.

DRTFA - are we talking about the little choking hazard ones of the new idiot proof tubbo ones?

I remember the A-Frame, but we held onto the barn one for ages. My sister used to open the barn doors repeatedly and make it moo to piss me off.

I had the garage but it was a little different than the one in the video...or at least I think it was. My parents became so tired of the bell ringing they either broke or somehow muted it. I remember it making a dull thud as the elevator went up.

I also had an open top school bus they all could ride in (maybe it was a different brand) with a functioning door and a drivers side stop sign. I recall my dad stubbing his toe on the extended stop sign. There was a loop of duct tape holding the limp sign on the bus after that. Good times indeed.

My son has the new version of the action garage , the 2 foot tall one.

It's awesome.

Having a son is great, I can buy "him" all these toys that "he" loves to play with. Most of which are horribly age-inappropriate (He's almost one).

I distinctly remember the farm and the airport and the garage.

I also remember getting my front teeth caught in the dog's ears.

Wow... I had completely forgotten about playing with these as a child.

I spent countless christmas morning hours helping my boy construct whatever the coolest Lego model was for that year. You have to get them a bit more advanced than their age, otherwise they get bored to quickly. My boy is 30-ish now, and still has all those Lego's (took them with him when he moved out) - many in their original boxes. Little shiat wouldn't let me keep them. "NOT YOURS" comes to mind as his response.

Of course, he still harbors so much resentment over a few dozen silly little Atari games & a console I sold at my yard sale.

We bought half of them off of E-bay for my kids, I am a couple of years to old to have had them and my MIL would not let my wife take the ones she had growing up due to 2 other siblings wanting them also. The current ones are pretty cheaply made by comparison. Probably will resell them an E-bay in a couple of years once my son grows out of playing with them.

the castle was the coolest. I played with most of the others, but the castle was my favorite.

Double down on the castle. I had it, and my kids had the newer version. The trap door and secret room were good for hours of fun.

And countless cars were cranked up the elevator of the garage then tipped out to roll down the ramp.

We had a couple of the other ones, too, but my kids spent most of the time with the castle and garage.

I think what was fun about those sets was that even though it was all cheap plastic, they still had some quirkiness to the designs that modern toys so often lack.

/had the Sesame St. one and the garage

The Sesame Street playset was awesome.

Not part of the Little People series, but my personal favorite. The shark boat:



It actually floated and was bathtub/pool worthy.

I love these things! I had the farm, the town and the garage. I definitely gnawed the dog's ears off.

I had the garage, it was awesome, my cousin had the castle and I thought it was epic and played with it whenever I would visit.

Honorable mention to Link (new window)

We had:

Garage, castle, village, Sesame Street, airport, ferry, farm, hospital, school, and probably a few more that I can't remember at this time, plus mini-sets, including the airliner plane.

We had a complete city in the basement for many years.

My dumb-arse of a brother kept eating the foam off the beds (or shoving it up his nose).

Then my father decided to give everything away one day to someone (never did find out) without asking.... I so would have loved to have been able to keep them for my kids.

The village would have to be the coolest.. with so many stores, apartments, even slots for the mail, and the street traffic lights that was also a bridge.

I remember that!
I had the ambulance as well as the TV Van and AJ Foyt toy Formula race car (I think that was Fisher price). Of the ones listed in TFA I had the castle, Sesame Street, Airport and Garage. Ah good times.

I had the sea explorer one (new window)... with the dolphin and the mini-submarine that your figure would be slid in (lying on their stomach)

I spent hours in the tub with that one... heck, I probably still would.

I never had any of that shiat growing up...

Which is why my son is going to get ALL of it. Whether he likes it or not.

I'm not above having an awesome childhood vicariously through him.

"Look at this Little people Zoo, isn't it great? It has a lion and a polar bear, and a - DONT TOUCH IT! You couldn't possibly appreciate this toy on as many levels as I can."

imfallen_angel: I had the sea explorer

Yes! If you placed the divers in the water, they would float. Tip them a little and they would dive to the bottom. All kinds of awesome.

We also had this.

It became a medi-vac for Gi-Joes later.

And apparently my google fu is weak. Cause we also had a boat I *think* it was a Flipper set. It had a rubber dolphin and a blue and white boat, and I can't seem to find it on the interwebs.

awwww HELL YES!!

The chopper with the claw action to grab the rescue boat¹... even when the blades were broken that thing continued to be awesome.

I remember that poor ambulance being thrown around so much.

¹ that picture is missing the yellow lifeboat that would snap to the chopper upside down.

TEAM FISHER PRICE!!!

Glad to see I ain't the only big kid in here.

I've changed (rotated the collection around) but here's pictures of my desk and around the house:

Panhead Ed approves.

My kids had a crapload of these things. They loved them, and I hated them. Mostly because those chairs freaking hurt like hell when you stepped on them in your bare feet.

Had for of them, still have the Castle and the Garage. My nephew played with them, if I have kids they'll play with them too,

/Guess my parents did love me

Ahhhhh, memory lane indeed.

Castle was far and away the awesomest, The pics alone have me thinking of all the stuff played with that (Batman and Robin was one of the fav scenarios).

Then I was thinking about the other cool LP toy we had....which one....dammit - then Boudyro to the rescue. Houseboat was second most awesomest.

Had the castle, circus train, and family farm.

yummy.

We had the Garage, Farm, School, School Bus, House, A-Frame, Village, Castle, Houseboat, Airport, Sesame Street Clubhouse. (There were five of us)

My parents still have them at their house, and the various grandkids have been playing with them when they visit over the last 20 years or so.

List fails without the main street, houseboat and a-frame. I had all those plus everything else on the list.

/my kids play with them every time they go to grandma's

On a different track the weebloes western town and haunted house are fun too as well as the articulated FP "adventure people" and their safari van and TV crew. (with real "working camera")

Was the MOOO cow farm on the list?

I had the schoolbus too!

I had the Garage, the Farm, the House, and the Plane (but not the Airport). I loved that stuff!!! Sadly, it was all donated long ago.

The castle was a dominant icon of my childhood as well. Wish they still made it...my daughters love fisher price little people.

A girl I knew in college once told me the CSS about how she owned the Sesame Street playset, but had never seen the show. So she had to create imaginary scenarios based on just her own sheltered existence. And the Susan doll was always the maid.

I have the castle. I actually kept it nice and in storage throughout all my early adult years so I could pass it on to my own kids. It was my favorite toy and the backdrop to every epic drama my My Little Pony Petite Ponies every had. I had princesses swooning on the little balcony and villains dropping heroes down the trap door. I loved it so much that I took good care of it, and now my two sons are playing with it. The sticker that makes up the moat is peeling from my sister and I pouring water on it as kids, but it is otherwise in pristine condition. My children love it. :) That thing really withstood the test of time. (it's lasted about 30 years!)
