No, Tinkertoy is a proper noun because it is the name of a brand name toy. The word toy is a common noun.

James McBride in The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother. The correct (and more gramatically correct) quote is: "...I felt like a tinkertoy kid building my own self out of one of those toy building sets; for as she laid her life before me, I reassembled the tableau of her words like a picture puzzle, and as I did, so my own life was rebuilt." *http://www.washcoll.edu/wc/news/washmag/spring1998/page_10.html
The Tinkertoy Construction Set was created in 1913.
Well, that is pretty hard, since they are so different... but if you had to write a compare/contrast paper or something, there are some similarities... They are both popular toys, and are both used for building. Children of similar ages can use them. On the contrast side, LEGO bricks allow much more complex structures, can be used in a higher age range (including adults), and there are even sets with motors and lights. Tinkertoy used to have a gigantic set with way oversized plastic versions of the toy, and I don't think that the makers of the LEGO product have ever had a gigantic version (biggest is their DUPLO line I believe). The structures that can be made are very different, so even though you could make, for instance, a windmill with both kinds of toys, they would look and function differently.
