Synopsis:
Toy Story 3” welcomes Woody (voice of Tom Hanks), Buzz (voice of Tim Allen) and the whole gang back to the big screen as Andy prepares to depart for college and his loyal toys find themselves in…day care! But the untamed tots with their sticky little fingers do not play nice, so it’s all for one and one for all as plans for the great escape get underway. More than a few new faces—some plastic, some plush—join the adventure, including iconic swinging bachelor and Barbie’s counterpart, Ken (voice of Michael Keaton); a lederhosen-wearing thespian hedgehog named Mr. Pricklepants (voice of Timothy Dalton); and a pink, strawberry-scented teddy bear called Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear (voice of Ned Beatty).

When I was in grade one my friend told me that she would turn into a vampire in the middle of the night and come steal all my toys. I was terrified!!! Mind you, she didn’t really know what a vampire was…
I also had about 100 of those beanie babies. I had to cut my collection down to about five when we moved. I still love them
I’ve had my bear since I was born. He’s pretty much travelled (secretly, mind you) with me since then. Recently my Mother sent me a letter with his “birth certificate” – she’d been sentimental, and had held onto it since I was little.
I can remember when I was younger and I use to go over my friends and play ‘Indiana Jones’, my friends had some property do we had various themes and locations to choose to act our scenarios.
I would always take around my ‘Action Man’ and he would play the role of Indiana. We would go into my friends room and steal her ‘Barbie Dolls’. We would tie the dools to a tree and Indiana would have to save them.
Sometime Indiana had to overcome a wave pool, a dry creek bed as well as battling the cockatoo’s that seem to always hang around Clear Mountain. Almost everytime we played this game it ended up with the boys being chased by the girls for stealing the Barbie Dolls – usually culminating in a water fight of some sorts.
When I was about five I sent a letter to the Lego company with suggestions for new products. They were miniature Lego glasses for the figures to wear (I’d recently gotten my first pair, which didn’t seem to do anything, apparently they were training glasses as my family are all short-sighted) and Lego stairs.
It never occurred to me that glasses wouldn’t work without Lego ears, and I can’t imagine how stairs were in any way an innovation. Nevertheless, a few weeks later I received a kind reply, and was assured the development team had been forwarded my input, and were very impressed. I felt quite the star.
When my sister and i was younger we had to work hard to get toys and if we didnt do our chores our toys was taken from us and given to the Salvos.So now we know to do what is right and teach good values to our kids now but not to give the toys completly away just put them away till our children are good and deserve them back, as we was in a very strict house hold and do not want to spoil our kids completey but teach them what is right and wrong!
One christmas when I was about 8 I had my heart set on a Barbie Doll. It was all I wanted – everyone else had one. I couldn’t wait till Christmas morning and snuck out to the Christmas tree and carefully unwrapped all of my presents until I came to the one – my very own Barbie Doll! I re-wrapped everything and had to put on my best surprised face when I received it on Christmas Day. While it was great to get the toy of my dreams, the magic of Christmas Day was ruined and I never did that again!
Back in the original “Cabbage Patch Kids” days my friend and I used to think that if you put them at the end of your bed at night, they would wake up and play while you were asleep. A bit like Toy Story really. Mind you, we did it once or twice but it really freaked us out… LOL
My most cherished toys were my Barbies. My sister and I used to ask for an addition to our collection on at every birthday or Christmas. Barbie is not the same without Ken so of course we had a few Kens. We had names for all of them – Cindy and Sally were Barbie’s BFF. We lived lifestyles of the rich and famous vicariously through them spending afternoons relaxing by the pool, campervanning, changing their jewellery and combing their long luscious hair until one day I became bored… and thought I would give Barbie a haircut. My sister wasn’t happy (it was her Barbie-I would never trial my hairdressing skills on MY Barbie). Mum want happy (because my sister was crying). I don’t think Barbie was too thrilled either (she was quickly cast aside (poor girl) as she was never the same again….Surprisingly, next Christmas, I was given a Barbie with retractable hair. Mmmm I wonder why?! The joys of childhood.

One of my favourite toys from my very early childhood was a huge, soft panda bear (creatively named “Panda”!). He had a red satin ribbon tied around his neck. I loved the fact that he was as big as me and I could give him lovely warm cuddles. Recently, I took him out of the old toy chest and was shocked to see how small Panda actually is! He’s a bit moth eaten – but still loveable.
When I was 4yrs old, I found a stuffed panda bear on our front lawn. Mum told me that some little child had obviously dropped it there and would come back for it soon. For three days Mum tried everything to keep that stuffed toy in our front yard in case the owner came back and for three days she repeatedly found it appearing mysteriously amongst my toys. In the end, she just gave up and let me have it. My daughter now has that panda bear. LOL
When I was 7 my little sister decided to play funerals and buried all of my GI Joes in the sandpit. We had a pretty big sandpit, and many of those GI Joe’s were never seen again
I love all of my toys, but my Strawberry Shortcake doll has special memories for me. I won it at the Ekka when I was five years old (4 years ago). There was a joke telling competition and I got up on stage and told the joke “what is yellow and dangerous? Shark infested custard.” And they gave me the doll as a prize for being so brave!
AHHH… Oh my god! Toy Story Rocks!
Anyway, I had a Care Bear that I had from the day I was born which I took EVERYWHERE with me until I was about 6 years old. It STILL has prime position on my bed today hahaha.. sad but I love him!
when i was little i used to have this vintage helmet that i got with my first bike,,, and by helmet i mean a full watermelon sized helmet that was fluro pink! and i would wear it everywhere… in boats, swimming, shopping, everywhere really except school and i remember every morning having the same argument with my parents as to why helmets and school dont go together. thank god i out grew that phase but the photographic evidence still haunts me when i take friends to meet the parents!
I had a duck blanket that went with me everywhere and I wouldnt sleep with out it. Once it was left at home and my parents had to travel all the way home to get it because I wouldn’t go to sleep at my nans till I had it in my arms!!! They tried substitude after substitude but nothing defeated the duck blanket! LOL
I grew up in the country, when I was little, but, didn’t have that many toys, to play with. But, my most treasured toy was a train set. I loved playing with that train set, nearly everyday. My parents taught me to look after it properly and I did. I never broke it or lost pieces. So, 30 years on, I’ve still got my very treasured, favourite and collectable train set.
My cabbage patch doll gave me nightmares!
My sister and i had two original “Donny & Maree Osmond” dolls when we were little. Complete with hole’s in their right hand so the microphone would go in it.. it was a priceless toy.
I didn’t have that many toys, but, had a second-hand mechano set, which I played with a lot. Taught me how to make great cars and tractors. I’ve still got the set, to this day. Ready to be played with, by my son, when he is old enough to play with it. LOL!
My super big Star Wars Lego spaceship is my favourite toy. My uncle gave it to me and I’m going to keep it forever. Dad used to have heaps of original Star Wars toys from when he was a kid but his mum gave them all away – I’m not going to let anyone get their hands on my toys when I grow up!
When I was a little girl, my Dad bought me a couple of old, vintage barbies. I didn’t play with them, at all, because they weren’t like my other, modern barbies. They couldn’t bend their legs. So, they couldn’t sit in their chairs, with my other modern barbies, at tea parties. Or play sport or go for a run! LOL! So they stayed in very good, prestine condition. Now, years later, they are both very valuable and stand pride of place, in my doll collection.
I had a stuffed teddy bear who I called Big Ted. Being the type of genius that only a 6-year-old could be, I threw him out our car window. As I called it at the time, “he went through the square window”. I was the only child I know who’s parents STOPPED him from watching Play School.
I remember my Barbie who came home as a beautiful doll with the fancy clothes and I changed her to become G. I Jane with her crew hair cut and war paint!! It was very funny at the time but I did not get a new Barbie for a while after that incident!!
When I was a young girl, my father bought home a couple of vintage, Barbie dolls for me. I hardly played with them, at all. Because they weren’t like my other modern barbies, because their legs couldn’t bend. So, they couldn’t sit in chairs and join in with my other modern barbies for a tea party. Or play sport with the other barbies.
Because they were hardly played with, they remained in very good condition. Now, years later, they are very valuable and are my two favourite barbies, in my doll collection. 
They stand, pride of place, on my bookshelf. 
One of my favourite toys is the stuffed Pooh-Bear that my granny made for me. It’s made out of orange towelling and has a little red shirt and black emboidered eyes, nose and smile. It is extra special because my grandmother had also made one for my father when he was a little boy. My father’s Pooh is looking somewhat threadbare these days, but it was certainly well loved, as is mine.
I used to carry a blanky, a chicken (real) and a felix the cat doll around everywhere I went. This made me a very strange child. We were at the beach once and I was sitting on a large rock near the sea and a wave came up and smashed into the rock and took me, the blanket, the chicken and felix into the sea.
My dad managed to get myself back onto the shore and I had a tight hold of the (unhappy) chicken. Unfortunately Felix and the blanket were eaten by mother nature. I always dreamed that they had become kings of the sea and lived in a water palace but as an adult I know now they’d probably end up inside a shark’s stomach.
I used to buy Matchbox cars, smash them with a hammer, stuff them with newspaper, and set them on fire. Soooo much fun!
