Best for me was an Amstrad PC1512 with colour screen, twin 5.25" floppy drives and a 20mb Western Digital Hardcard! (ISA hard drive) at 14.
Not a toy, but my absolute worst xmas present was a bottle of that green Hai Karate aftershave stuff when I was 10 from my Aunt & Uncle...Comment

The A-Team M-24 Assult Rifle got lots of use
Much like the Alligator game, the spring was powerful enough to do actual harm to any pets or siblings who got in the way.Comment

Might not surprise you to hear that my favourite was my very first Horny train set. It consisted of an oval of track, a station and 3 LMS carriages pulled by BR standard class 7 no. 70013 Oliver Cromwell.
Another favourite of mine was Sticklebrix, anyone remember that?Comment

Best for me was the year I got "Operation" I loved it! My Grandad on the other hand, not so much, he took the batteries out after about an hour
Worst was actually 3 Christmas's in a row I asked for Barbie and I got bloody Tiny Tears! She had a hole in her ass with a plug and you filled her up with water and then squizzed her. She cried and pee'd at the same time. Ugh... I wanted a Barbie.Bazza gets caught

I used to stand at the model shop window drooling, eventually my dad noticed.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Best present that I recall was a Rubik Cube. This was before they had became mainstream and generally known about and I hadn't seen one before. I was hooked straight away and must have used it for months, if not years. I still have one, though sadly last time I tried doing it I had forgotten a lot of my moves and its solution needed a lot of trial and error.Comment
