I'm going to say Nerf guns are cooler.
Only because I carry bad memories from being point blanked by a fully pumped shot of one of the fucking massive Super Soakers.

I had this, and I loved it so much. I would take care of it and sleep with it and pretend that it was going to grow up and I would train it to be a good dinosaur and ride it and oh man oh man I'm going to go cry myself to sleep.

Nerf guns win. No contest. Super soakers were fun and everything.. but seriously. I am in college and my friends and I have wars all the time. We even have a huge rivalry going with another dorm across campus. Declarations of war and everything.
if you're going to be a pedantic shitfag about it, then the proper term is LEGO
all caps, no pluralization
if you want to be really anal, then it'd be LEGOâ„¢
but nobody actually gives a fuck so legos it is
and legos are awesome

God I fucking loved Lego. I had lots of pirate stuff, and would recreate naval battles between Skull's Eye Schooner and the Imperial Flagship:
I also had some miscellaneous island or base sets, and some of the Islanders - those crazy face-paint natives. Between all of these I had enough gold coins to actually fill one of the smaller boats - took like eight chests to store all of it.
Let's not forget the awesome Visionaries. Too bad the series was so short lived. I'm actually surprised I even remember it, considering I was 5 and was being inundated with so much 80s pop culture.
The best part was using the crane on the 'Schooner to throw a boat full of pirates at the King's men.

my brother had this giant skull water gun. not a super-soaker, but a generic brand. that fucker lasted forever, and had enough power to shoot almost all the way down the street. it had like a five gallon tank and took both hands to pull the thingy back to empty the tube and shoot the water out.
I loved legos. They were the best thing ever. Your imagination was your guide through playland with legos, and when you were all done, you could scatter them on the floor for your parents to step on in their barefeet and then they would hit you.
A really cool toy line. The figures had magnets in the feet and the vehicles all changed configuration or had weapons that deployed without batteries. Apparently there was a cartoon (like every other 80s toy) but i dont remember that, but the toys themselves are great.

I was TRYING to remember what they were called! Thank you!
Also, back in college (yes, college) me and a bunch of my friends would ambush each other with supersoakers (or any watergun, really). But it wasn't just a free-for-all war. There were rules. Everyone would carry around 3 tokens and whenever you'd get hit you'd have to give up a token to whoever shot you. The only safe-zone was the student center, but everywhere else (at any time) was game-on. Walking to class...going to get some food...just sitting in your own room...whatever. There were alliances formed (and broken) between people who lived in the same dorm. When you ran out of tokens, you were out of the game. At the end of the semester, the one with the most tokens won.
It was cool.
We weren't.
I used one of these for "home defense". I also used it to blast the scum off our shower at the end of the semester.

I owned one of those 3 tank monstrosities on the far right side. Took forever to fill, hard to pump, and heavy as hell.
I still have the cardboard front for the first set, with that picture on it, literally 15 feet away from me.
we never had neighborhood wars though, my neighbors were fucking squares
ambush a backyard bacbeque, the revolution isn't gonna start itself
me and my brother established rivalries all over our neighborhood
there were like 4 kids besides me and my brother and they all sucked
shit, i'm gonna get a super soaker when i have the chance
maybe have some battles with my friends in a park or something
solid snaked it, never saw me

I respect Nerf guns and all.
But I was sold on squirtguns the day my father filled up two of them with red and blue food coloring, and then shot my friend and I with them.
It took us a while to notice, but damned if it wasn't really fucking awesome.

My mom would get me megablocks.
so
pfffffffffft
Not Legos.
Will people stop using the wrong word.
The plural of Lego is Lego, like Jedi.
All that pressure needed to get it to go far enough would make it far to dangerous, it could hurt somebody.
Hurting people is not cool bonK
Half of the games I played growing up were just variations of "hit eachother but not too hard, don't be a fag about this"

Tron was before my time. But man, did I play the fucking shit out of these things(I had the red one). Wood floors + steps = hours of fun.
And screw your Legos that had instructions. I just had one of those big red suitcases full of pieces.
