Your old toys

[I'm Still Bison]

Some years ago the Discovery Channel had a couple shows called"The Toys We Played With" that covered things like Ant Farms,Colorforms,Lionel trains,and other assorted goodies from the early baby Boom era.

I never had any GI Joes but I did have a lot of Johnny West stuff.

Hot Wheels, yah, with the supercharger and the loop-de-loop track set up! Man would we ever go through the D cell batteries. Change the rubber band gearing inside and you've got a hot-wheel-car-launching bazooka, great for terrorizing dogs and evil sisters!   Ahh, those were the days.


Anybody have a rock'em sock'em robot set? It was on our Christmas lists for the entire 1970's decade but we never got one.

Wow.  Are you sure you're not one of my brothers?  That's like my history.  Don't forget the single and double Rod Runners (rubber band power, not battery operated) AND Sizzlers with their Fat Track. 

Heck, we musta had a quarter mile of orange track and curves.

Damn! Those were some good times....

Yah, Rod Runners too!!

Your mom ever whack you across the fanny with a piece of hot wheel track, for not picking up your hot wheel track? Damn, that stings!

Lego, my fathers Meccano set, tinkertoy, Tonka toys, green army men, Hot Wheels, Matchbox, and Corgi die casts.

Can people stop saying "Legos".....its Lego like sheep the plural is the same as the singular

It always annoyed me that you had 1 goose and 2 geese, but not 1 moose and 2 meese

I'm a Lego kid, just bought my some his first kit he is just 5 so I have to assemble its myself. Waiting for him to tear its apart and build something different.

[Whoey]

I think at the beginning it was more about building and tearing down the kit

I think this was the first (of many) lego kits I got:
