ZX81 a toy?How very dare you? That ( and the ZX80 preceding it) were the very cornerstone of my early electronics and programming education:)
Hmm, toys from when I was a lad? ( you won't remember whip and top ;))
I loved Operation. clackers ( bad for your knuckles ) I had a lot of 1970's Action man stuff including the tank and the helicopter.
Probably my most favourite toys would be my huge Scalextric and my compendium of Meccano kits. I was quite partial to Kerplunk too.
I did enjoy more serious pursuits with my metal detector and like you, electronics kits but also chemistry kits which my Granddad was always willing to spoil me with.
Holy cow I almost forgot Spirograph. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirograph
