What did you "collect" when you were a kid.

Hot wheels are the first toys I remember buying with my own allowance money.  Don't know how old I was when I started getting an allowance but before that I just asked my mom and dad to buy me toys.

I'd spend forever looking at all the different cars trying to decide which one to buy.  I doubt they costed more than a dollar but I must not have gotten much allowance because I usually had to decide on just one.

Yup I got my two dollar allowance or whatever then of course there was always the bonus money of scouring the neighborhood for pepsi/coke bottles and taking them in for the nickels.

I don't remember what they were ? Couple bucks ? But soon as I had enough saved up I was standing in front of the display at the store picking out my next hot rod ! LOL
