Everyone has their own favourite memory of the toy they loved the most when they were a child.
Maybe it was Action Man, Tiny Tears, Subbuteo - or a Raleigh bike which is back in the news after the manufacturer’s owners announced they had filed for insolvency in the last week.
It brings back memories of Raleigh Choppers and the other famous makes from back in the day.
But it also got us thinking about the other toys you might remember from your Sunderland or South Tyneside childhood, such as Katie Copycat, Thunderbirds or Clackers.
We want to hear about the toys you never tired of and the ones you always wanted for a birthday or Christmas but never got.
