Another Sunday and time for another giveaway! I spent quite a bit of time last night and this morning just catching up with my post from last week. Sorry about the late responses, I try to catch up with them all on time. This week I got behind in just about everything, I'll do better this week!
Last week's entry question was about your favorite toys as a child. So before we get into today's question and last week's winners, let see what you all chose!
LEGOs
wallpaperflare.com
I already knew we were going to have this winner before I even asked the question. Who doesn't love LEGOs? There are just so many things you can build and use your creativity to make all sorts of things. There weren't as many sets when I was a kid that I recall, not like today where there are so many options it truly boggled the mind. Every time I go looking for second hand LEGOs I run into things I've not seen before... The new adult LEGO sets are really cool and a lot of fun to build. That reminds me, I have a few sets I need to work on for my next LEGO post! Thanks to @gratefuleveryday , @rainbowdash4l , @whywhy , @olaf.gui , @bitandi , @blitzzzz , @dewabrata , @gatet , @henruc , @holdeck2 , @silverd510 and @tortangkahoy for some great memories!
Ninja Turtle Action Figures
youtube.com
These guys came along after my time, but I know they were big in the nineties. My son used to play with the ones from the 2000's! They really made some awesome action figures for this franchise, and it just keeps coming back every few years with an updated version. I have to admit I have always liked watching the shows and movies, they're a lot of fun! Thanks to @geneeverett and @vcclothing !
Saint Seiya Action Figures

I will be the first to admit I had never heard of these. But, I didn't grow up in Brazil! The anime based toys were very popular and there are huge lines of them. I believe they are still being made. I can see why kids would love playing with these, they cool! Thanks to @crazyphantombr and @gwajnberg !
Bicycle
bmxmuseum.com
I remember as a kid true freedom arrived when you got you first bike! You could ride miles from home and have all sorts of fun. I grew up in a pretty rural area so there was a lot of outdoors to explore and even trails in the foothills nearby. Thanks for some great memories @alexvan and @silvertop !
Remote Control Cars/Trucks
screenrant.com
These are very cool toys, of course the one's I had were primitive and didn't work very well. The one's from the 90's on were really cool. My son had one he played with for hours and kept crashing into my feet! The joys of parenthood, just like stepping on a LEGO while barefoot. Thanks for this great pick by @okarun and @abdt !
Electric Cars/ Scalextrics
tiendamia.com
These are some seriously fun toys! You could have sets that went up the wall and in loops, I always found it hard to keep them on the track on the curves! You just don't see these anymore which is kind of a shame. You can find them on eBay but they are pretty expensive now. What great memories, thanks to @florakese and @servelle !
Barbie/Doll
infoupdate.org
We had a few mentions of dolls, one being a bald Barbie doll by @angeluxx . Another was a doll with braidable hair by @lecia89 . @florakese also mentioned receiving various dolls but preferred the electric racing cars because everyone played with them!
Toy Doll with braidable hair @lecia89
Barbie @angeluxx
Toy Soldiers
micshaunscloset.com
These are fun toys, I think I had some cheap one's as a kid or maybe it was my friend. They are great to play war, but I'm not sure they are popular anymore. I was in the Army so I think they're great, and who can forget the one's in "Toy Story"? Thanks @logen9f !
The Yo-yo
ebay.com.au
I remember having one of these once upon a time. Such a simple toy that can provided hours of fun. They make a comeback periodically and so many tricks to learn! Great pick by @vaynard86 !
Not having time for them all I'll give some very honorable mentions, all of them are very cool toys! @curatorcat.pal had the Spirograph which is a set for creating geometric shapes, they are pretty cool sets! Transformers didn't make it past one vote which I thought odd, I used to love them too. Thanks @doombot75 for that great memory!
Videos games/ systems were picked by a few of you, and I've gone over those not too long ago it seems. Either that or I'm going senile which is always a possibility! Thanks to @stekene, @hatdogsensei and @ronnie10 for another great bunch of toys. Wooden building blocks were mentioned by @melinda010100 and are great toys. She had a set that were handmade and passed down in the family, but were lost in a fire, it's such a shame no further generations will get play with them.
Then were some classics like the Rubik's Cube by @longganisan , He-Man action figures by @monsterbuster , toy cars by @lumpiadobo , and walkie talkie's by @helicreamarket . And to round out the last bunch we had a football (soccer) ball by @flummi97 , tools by @vp-freelance (great for learning!), Polly Pocket by @ladymisa , Beyblades by @sylmarill , and Zodiac Knight figures by @freed99 !
@ekavieka had a bamboo toy with a wheel one it that they could race, too bad he didn't have any pictures. I looked for pictures from Bali for some too, no luck! @imfarhad sadly didn't grow up with many toys, which makes me grateful for the luck I had as a kid. I hope you are enjoying some adult toys now!
Last buy not least @tengolotodo has a wooden fort he could put figures inside. It remined me of a park not far from where I grew up that had a giant wooden fort kids could play in, it was a lot of fun. I'm sure it's long been demolished by now, but good memories!
What is your favorite tipping token here on Hive?
The Giveaway
I will be giving out one prize of five (5) HSBI. Second and Third prizes will be 2 DUO tokens, the token I recently launched with @bulliontools and @bitcoinman . It offers those who stake sufficient tokens daily curation on quality posts, dividends, and a tipping bot. It also helps to onboard and retain new Hive members. At the end of the post there is a link to the white paper and where to purchase the tokens. Fourth prize is 100 BBH tokens. Fifth prize will be 250 CCD tokens. To participate you need a reputation level of at least 25 and bots cannot win. And please one entry per person to make it fair to everyone.
@alohaed is generously kicking in two HSBI to the second place winner and one to the third place winner. Thanks for you support my friend!

How to Enter
Every week this will change. I'm looking for engagement rather than just saying "I am in". There is no need to upvote or re-blog, although if you choose to do so I would appreciate it. This week's question should be fun: What is your favorite tipping token here on Hive?
HSBI
If you are unfamiliar with the prize you can learn more here:
Or check out my recent post:
@thebighigg/hsbi-what-are-they-my-experience-and-a-starter-guide
Choosing the Winners
All valid entries will be placed on the Wheel of Names and I will spin it four times. The first prize will be 5 HSBI units. The second and third prize will be two DUO tokens. Fourth prize will be 100 BBH tokens. Fifth prize will be 250 CCD tokens. And since I am spinning the same wheel four times in a row it is theoretically possible for the same person to win all four prizes! Although I have yet to see it happen, maybe this week?
Deadline
One week from today which will be Sunday March 23, 2025 at 8 A.M. California Pacific Time.
