Good thread - I forgot about mine until now.
I received a scope that had to be assembled when I was 10ish - it was orange and angular. It took me ages to see through it, focus was awful and the 'plastics' truly sucked - it was a genuine toy - but I could see things far away. I never looked at the moon but it was a start.
My first real scope was a 4" Newtonian - that was cool!
