PAST: Even the poorest of us had a few toys, growing up. Which was your favorite?

PRESENT: Constructive playtime is still a valuable thing for us adult-like personages. What do you play with when you need to cheer up?

FUTURE: Setting aside, as we tend often to do here, the established laws of physics, probability, supply-and-demand and common sense… if you could create a fantastical toy, what would it be like? (This can be for children and/or adults, in case you’re wondering.)
