I think Lego should be ahead of Joe for the reason you stated, they reached their height in the 80's. Legos are still popular today. There is no arguing the number 1 and 2...I have two girls, yes Barbie is King and Queen.

had kup and hot rod when i was young - damn i shud have hung onto those
I had pretty much the entire G1 run of Transformers as a kid. They were all in excellent condition. All of the ascessories and guns were kept track of. Gave them all to Goodwill at Christmas time in my Senior year of High School. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I suppose some kids out there enjoyed them, but damn...
I had the barbie size GI Joes and extras when I was a kid, I also had alot of the original micronauts stuff, with legos, matchbox and hot wheels. I wish like everyone else would have all those toys.....
I still love playing Legos with my girl's kids. It's fun building things with the kids and then, of course, destroying them later! The kids like to build villain headquaters and then have their super hero action figures attack the headquarters.
I had the old GI Joes with the fuzzy beards when I was a kid. There were so many different kits for them. I had the kung-fu grip Joes which were a pain because after a while the fingers would break off and you were left with a GI Thumb! One year for Christmas I ran down the stairs to see what Santa had brought me and there was a whole camp of GI Joes with a jeep, tents and three GI Joes, two of which were climbing the Christmas tree. I learned later my dad had stayed up late that night setting them up...or as mom said, playing with them and having a blast! I even had the bionic and bullethead Joes. I thought it was such a shame when they made the Joes tiny action figures.
Ahhh, the old days of the 80's figurine eras...nowhere near what it is today but still present so it's nice.
It's weird not to see Star Wars in the first place but I guess the definition of a line itself and it's impact can vary, nothing against this list since they are all accurate.
Karas1: That's the problem with Legos. If you buy a $125 Millenium Falcon for your kids, it will just end up in a big box of pieces, mixed in with all the other Legos because they do all work together. So it's kind of a rip off.
I know I'll have to buy some Legos for my son when he's old enough, but I'm not sure I'm gonna splurge for the really expensive stuff–just the loose pieces.
Ah, who am I kidding? I'm totally gonna splurge for the expensive stuff!! The Millenium Falcon is super cool!
Whenever I got a Lego set that was supposed to be something in particular, I'd build it once, right after I opened the box. After that, it was time to build freestyle. Plus, back then there were no Star Wars Lego sets. There were space themed sets though, and I'd use those to make my own Star Wars Lego ships. The only Tyderium Shuttle I had was the one I made out of Legos. Never did get the regular toy for Christmas.
I haven't played with leggos in a while. Can't you take your Batman set, your Star Wars set and your Harry Potter set and mix and match the bricks?
Matchbox, as long as cars are a part of everyday transportation kids (not just boys) will want their own. And when cars are no longer a part of everyday transportation then Matchbox will make replicas of whatever is. And they will still sell vintage Matchbox cars too.
When I was a little girl I had Barbies. They sold Nurse Barbie and Stewardess Barbie and Prom Queen Barbie. In the 80's and 90's they sold Doctor Barbie and Astronaut Barbie to reflect the changing roles of women in society. Now they sell all of the above along with Rave Attending Barbie and Streetwalker Barbie (not really but from some of the clothes she wears you know she is) and collector Barbies that tie into every movie ever made. You can buy a cheap one for your 3 year old for $19.95 or an elaborate collectors item for yourself costing hundreds of dollars. Barbie comes in every ethnicity and from every scioeconomic status. And she has Ken and Skipper and a host of friends to keep her company. And she has horses and pets and cars and beach houses and townhouses and clothes. Oh man does she have clothes. She has some incarnation or accessory that will intrest any girl/woman ever born. No joke she's on the top of your list.
