    There is a link you can nominate a toy, so I did. I nominated the yo-yo. I gave them the entire history of the yo-yo, dating back to 500 BC. Gave them and entire list of other toys inspired by the yo-yo along with their history. I beat them up a little bit over the fact it took less than 10 minutes to gather, proof and supply references........to the yo-yo. I would be curious to what the response is. I'd like to know if I were responsible for adding the yo-yo to the Toy HOF.

    What toy would YOU add to the hall? Pretty easy to dissect what is there so maybe it is up to us to legitimize this, a hall of fame and make it what it should be.

    Good call. Can't believe yo-yo isn't on there.

    I would nominate this although it's probably as much a game as a toy.

    If not, they should.

    Am I talking about the Lite Brite or the other?

    The slingshot was huge for kids in my generation. I suppose they may consider it a weapon, but we had more games with it than combat or hunting.

    Cap pistols were big back then too. Can you even buy them anymore?
