You people are sick freaks.

Or is that the "American mentality" or some such which we foreigners can't understand?

I'm confused now.

Have a very nice day.

As a kid in Russia you didn't do random destructive shit ? its just plain fun I guess, as a teen we'd blow up models, stage Army men fights using Black Cat firecrackers as 'artillery' in a variant off the air-rifle Army Men game. Shit, a group of about twenty of us had BB-gun wars(yes shooting each other with BB's ah the crapriciousness of youth...) on a regular basis(We all wore safety goggles , we were crazy fuckers, but not stupid), I probably still have one of the bastards in my ass.....

Of course I destroyed shit, but why would you do it to yourtoys? In Russia, toys were a symbol of status, they were preserved, not destroyed. I remember that back when they started airing Transformers on TV (early 90s), and the whole TF craze began, whoever had the biggest transformer was boss. I had the huge Japanese ones. I remeber there was this one huge TF that was actually put together from two other TFs, and was almost as tall as my waist. Of course, the quality was crap, it couldn't move, and it fell apart if you so much as breathed on it. But, it looked impressive.

If I wanted to break some toys, I would build some Lego shit and break that. We never broke anything permanently. And melting action figures? That's just barbaric.

Have a very nice day.

Now, oooh, the big question! Does any of you guys who ever did this shit as a kid occasionally find yourself wanting to sneak out to the local Wal-Mart at about midnight, pick up a few of the cheap G.I. Joe clones and relive those old battles, purely out of a sense of nostalgia?

Dargos · Post by **Dargos** » 2003-04-09 01:48am

um....no,I still do it, it satisfys my distructive urges MUHAHAHAHAHA just kidding but I have replaced BB gun fights with paint ball.

Brothers+Toy Soldiers & Nearly indestrucatble toys+Fire Works

Technically were not sure if we broke the tonka dump truck with the explosives or when it landed in the scrap yard.....

So, name the toy, the method of destruction and the results.

lawnmower, usually. goodbye, barbie doll.

I didn't smash anything. I always kept everything in pristine condition. Still played with them tons, just was aware that they looked better with all 4 limbs and accessories. Unlike my neighbour who had a large collection of 3-limbed GI Joes and Star Wars figures. While I was building working parachutes for my GI-Joe, my friend was just seeing how far he could throw his in the air....

My destructive tendancies were expressed in a large industrial scrap yard not too far from where I lived. There was a mine, and they dumped all their old equipment in this one area, and people would also dump old cars, TVs and such there also. A large metal pipe and a recently discarded TV or car = tons of entertainment (well at least for a kid).

Well, I once beat my brother with his own styrofoam glider. I still occassionally hold "BBWF Smackdown" Instead of spending my cash on wrestlers, I use my old stuffed animals instead. "Whoa, Bruno has just bodyslammed Freckles, ohmygod that leopard's got a chair into the ring!"*slams Bruno across the room with one of those little plastic pizza tripods*:twisted: Yes, I have been taking my medication.....

Damn all that stuff sounds like fun. Although i never did it when i was little (my parents were very overprotective so if they had heard a firecracker go off where i was outside playing they would have called in the national guard) hearing this stuff makes me wanna go get my old army men (the ones you get by the bucketfull) and stage my own version of WW2

I had several Star Trek models that I built.........er put together.

I had the most fun with the refit Enterprise, and the E-D. I made, what I thought, was a perfect replica of how the Enterprise looked after the first encounter with Khan.

Using tape and a fuse I was able to recreate the appearance of damage to the Engineering section, and port side photon tube.

Using a firecracker I was able to recreate a satisfactory look a like of the photon torpedo damage under the saucer section.

Then I attempted to recreate the destruction of the Enterprise over Genesis. (STIII) That didn't work so well because the saucer section didn't shatter like it was suppose to, it just blew the connected pieces apart.

Yeah, that happens; unless you build the model for this purpose, in which case you build some of the little spinning "Fire-Flower" types inside the model with their fuses protruding from the "windows"... in which case, when they're lit they will burn and ricochet around the interior of the model until they burn their way out. Works quite nicely.

Interesting.....I might have to try that sometime.

This may be amusing to some of you........

As most of you know I am a trekkie, I use to have a LOT of ST models, but I also put together a few SWs models.

Now, the only model I have left is an ISD.

LOL. I tortured some of my lesser-liked GI Joe's too. I used to hit them with a hammer to immitate a grenading-death. I fondly remember how all of Bag Head version Cobra Commander's appendages shot everywhere, leaving nothing but a caved in torso.

I also threw them out my window.

Melting army men was fun too. They make funny noises when you flame them.

We tried to make parachutes for our GI Joes out of paper towels and string. Nobody survived prototype testing!

When I go home I've got to dig out that captain picard I got when "Generations" came out and hang him.

Not traumatic enough. Douse him in hairspray and then flame thrower him with a lighter and the can. Be careful though. If it flashes back it could explode (almost happened to me once).

NO one beats my brother, now he has access to liquid nitrogen.

I am still not sure what the proper send off for 12" GI Joes after little sister has "Defiled" them with her Barbie toys...

*things I wish I never found out. Joe likes taking Barbie doggy style.....

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2003-04-10 06:33am

Actually, Alex and I still break "Toys" I have taken a hacksaw to a case, in order to install a better fan, so to "Actively Cool" an overclocked C-Rex chip....

Alex has much more overclocking then me...(I'm jsut glad he hasn't used any of his Liquid Nitrogen to Fuxor with things)

Also you DON'T want us to go into what we have done to poor innocent mountian and touring bikes....

(We both can leg press quite a bit, and can be VERY competitive....)

Same with me...paintball is great!

I also like to make models and if I wasn't satisfied with the result, I blowed them up with petards.

One time my younger sister got on my bad side, I took her barbie doll tied two M-90's to it, tied the fuses into one, hooked up four model rocket motors to it with the fuses for the M-90's under the rocket motors and had one hell of a lift off half up the M-90's cooked off and that was that.

One time to had a few cheap ass army men and a few tanks a mess load of lighter fulid and motor oil.
Can you say naplam strike?
I though you could.
