Toys When You Were A Kid!

[Duke41]

Bonanza Wagon Set. With Little Joe. Played with that for ever.
A football game called Strategy..loved it
Many bikes, they were our horses back than. we would ride the entire town.
The best one of all was when my dad came home after months and months on a submarine.

the whamo air ball shooter
fun to shoot the angora cat ( totally harmless )

it shot a grapefruit sized "ball of air" to like 15-20 feet
and nerf balls too..(adaptation) 30 feet

Chemistry set - advanced model .... i like spice

the hockey table small with the redish brown puck
with the sliding men attached to rods that you could push and twirl simultaneously for wicked fast action

probably the best fun was with the hot mini cars that ran on the track....getting a new one of those was always a thrill... then ya modify it....and trick it out.

a small telescope.... and of course fishing rods.Gear.

i loved getting that build your own radio kit....at a very young age... when you finally completed it and heard radio on something you built yourself -you felt very much like BOND ....James BOND or Thomas Edison

I had a real nice telescope when I was a kid. I think my parents spent alot of money on it and I'd spend hours and hours outside at night looking at stuff. That was a big thing back then. But like alot of stuff when I was a kid I didn't take care of things and I think it got dented at some point. Looking back that was a regret. Wish I still had it. I bought one a few years ago when Mars was close figuring Thomas would like it but man for $400 what a piece of crap we never could make it work right.
