I loved Legos and those mini , detailed cardboard planes from World War 2 that you have to assemble yourself with glue. And of course remote control cars that I always end up disassembling for some reason but never able to put back. I've always enjoyed looking at the circuit boards and transistors to figure out how it works, and so my gijoes will have their own vehicles as well :)
