Had both, but my personal favorite was the USS Flagg aircraft carrier from GI Joe. Walking into the living room on Christmas morning and seeing a 7 foot aircraft carrier on the floor was incredible.
 
All I had was a bunch of Star Wars, GI Joe, and Batman toys. Just a Batcave, Batmobile, Millennium Falcon and things like that. Also that sweet Fisher Price castle and pirate ship.

How old were you when you got it? Just curious because it seem like a vivid memory you are especially fond of.

The only one of those I particularly cared for was etch a sketch. However I did have a friend that saved his ring toss and it was in great condition, so when we all became teenagers and started smoking pot that was left out in the room and we all got more use out of it then we ever did as kids.

I was 6 or 7 at the time. It was either 1986 or 87, I can't remember which. It's one of my favorite childhood memories because my dad stayed up all night assembling it and attaching it to a piece of plywood so it could be carried to my room without falling apart. He had a drinking problem, but when he was sober he would try really hard to do right by me and my brother.
