Calling all toy snobs!
There is so much garbage out there when it comes to toys.
I would appreciate any suggestions on brands I should check out for my kids a la quality level of what I listed below. A few of my favorites that don't immediately enrage me to spend money on: -LEGO -Bruder -Jellycat

Märklin Schuco I’ve noticed museums tend to have nice arts and craft toys in their gift shops. |

Ohhhhh, and we love Hot Wheels as well. He has quite a collection of specific car brands such as BMW, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Porsche just to name a few. BTW P1.....great pic. Got to love it when kids still use their imagination to play and aren’t stuck on their game consoles the majority of the time.

I have some toys left over from when I was a kid but frankly have grown to play with big-boy toys. Cars, boats, watches, guns and stereo equipment are the primary ones. I have a short attention span and am running out of space.....my bride is very supportive because she likes her toys as well....

LEGO was by far my favorite growing up
Very happy to see them still around and relevant today! |

I originally re-visited Legos because I randomly came across a Lego A-10C that someone made. The GAU-8 barrels even rotated. They had a parts list and everything but a # of them went obsolete. As a side project, I've been re-creating that parts list. For OP, Legos are more bad@$$ now than they were when I was a kid. Can't go wrong w/ them.

Yep, house with a four year old, tons of Legos and a growing Bruder collection. They're such good quality. The fire truck actually sprays water and the ambulance toggles between EU and US sirens.

Hot Wheels are almost indestructible and cheap. You get A LOT for $1.
This is "my" Gulf collection. My son's collection is much more varied and played with, while mine sit in a display case: I've since added more Gulf cars, but this was a complete collection of every Gulf blue Hot Wheels at the time.
