Last Seen…Playing with Toys

Gorilla Christopher starts a new job this week, so let’s get straight to what we talk about this week:

* * *

What was the first toy you remember?
What was the first toy you ever REALLY wanted?
What was your favorite toy from childhood?
What was the worst toy you ever owned?
How important are toys to childhood development?
What is the last toy you purchased?
What do you think about adults rushing to collect toys before kids can get them? (Like Star Wars figures, Avengers figures…things like that!)
Toys have changed quite a bit over the years. What is the most dangerous toy you once owned that they would probably not sell today?
How has technology affected toys?
Let’s talk about the OTHER adult toys. Do you consider things like mini flamethrowers, GoPro cameras, and drones toys? (Or at least appeal to us as adults in the same manner toys appealed to us as kids?)
In the world of podcasting, some refer to recording gear as toys. What is your favorite podcasting toy…and is there something else you’d really love having?
What is the future of toys?
