Tonka for life! At least the ones during my kidhood! Sure, they weighed a ton (like manhole covers.

Yep, again startling, but who needed guns when my generation had for REAL weapons to play with?! Skull fractures, gashes, multiple bruises, road rash, sprains, torn ligements, & assorted bone breaks were a rite of passage!...🙃

@Tediuki Suzuki Operation was a board game. It had a picture of a man with openings at the leg bones, arm bones, etc. And you had tweezers to try and get the bones out without touching the sides or it would buzz and you'd be out. Then, it was time for the next person. I think it also lit up when it buzzed. It has been around 50 years since I played that game. It was fun.

I have hope that's not gonna be the case. Even though I have no kids of my own (never got the right relationship for it & I'd probably be a crap dad anyway), I still love toys as a 50+ year old child. There's been a trend reviving "classic" toy & game lines. They're probably meant for old guys like me (nostalgia sells, kids!), BUT they're on the toy shelves anyway! Retooled to make them safer or cheaper to make, to be sure, but such things as the Fischer Price toys I fiddled w/as a wee one ("music box" record player, wind-up lenticular TV, House Clock, & on & on) Spin & Say, Lite Brite, Etch a Sketch, & of course, constant board & gimmick game tweaks & retweaks. If you buy them, & PLAY w/your kids using them, kids will play w/'em on their own too! THAT'S the ultimate solution!

Lincoln Logs! I can’t remember the name of the other construction-type toy I had, but I used to build skyscrapers with it. The only parts I remember off-hand were black plastic vertical and horizontal “beams”, and some silvery mylar/plastic “windows”...all of it just snapped together. I made buildings 15+ stories tall with it, keeping me occupied for hours at a time. I also remember my first gaming console from the late 70s. I *think* it was called Telstar 301, or something like that. You could flip a switch on the console to select the game you wanted to play - it only had three or four of them. The toys of my childhood...I miss them.

You had remakes of these because in the 1980s, the original Fisherprice families' farms & house were all changed. The families were made out of wood when I was little in the 1970s but were made out of plastic in the 1980s. They changed so many of the toys from the ones made in the '70s & '80s. Matchbox & Hotwheels did do a recall on a lot of their toys due to led being found in their paint & was becoming a serious health hazard to young children from the paint flaking off & accidentally ingested from the tiny flakes sticking to the skin. It's rare to come across toys that were made in the 1970s today. I'm glad I still have all of mine. I never even let my own daughters play with them when they were little. And yes, my childhood toys show years of play & age. Can't believe all my childhood toys will be from 41 years to 51 years old this Christmas.

I had all of these except the Star Wars toys, didn't really get it then and still don't understand the fascination now. That being said how can the Evel Knievel only be an Honorable mention. Every male under age 10 in the mid seventies had one. My friend had the Snake River Canyon rocket version and I was sooooo jealous. I don't remember the Space hop I had something called the Hippity-Hop. Same basic thing but it just had a rubber ring on top. Again my friend had a Hippty-Horse that had a horses head instead. Where's the Big Wheel? I think I drove my father crazy with the Fischer Price garage the bell when the elevator gets to the top was loud! plus a 6 year old do it over and over and over again must have driven him mad at times. If I remember right the Fischer Price Barn would moo when you opened the barn door. Thanks to my older brother my friend and I learned that the Hot Wheels tracks were more fun to whack each other with than assemble and runs cars on. Wait where's the Six Million Dollar Man doll, or the Easy Bake Oven. I grew up in a neighborhood with three males and 16 females I ate enough of those cakes baked by light-bulb to make me a type 2 diabetic. Needless to say all three of us had our pick of dates in High School and 2 of us got married to one of the girls. Can't believe it was 40! years ago or more. I miss those carefree days.

I remember he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated. We took my bratty little sister to see “Star Wars” the week it opened. She hated it; all we other kids loved it. My parents obviously weren’t paying attention bcz they got her the big action figures of the main characters for Christmas. She never played with them, and somehow, they found their way into the attic. 2 decades later, my parents were cleaning out their attic and found them. Li’l sis, all grown up and still bratty as hell, reclaimed them and sold them for a ton of money on EBay bcz they were in perfect condition and had never even been removed from their boxes.

The sound it made when you were cranking it up on the launcher was one of the coolest parts and you hear it in cartoons to this day. It probably wasn't even part of the plan but a very lucky effect of the cogs that powered it. And the toy ran on 100% kid power, no electricity or batteries!!!

Some of my Favorite toys of the 70's - army men - model kits (glue and paint needed), Atari , science project kits from school (science fair), And the stereo and a stack of 78's. I also prefer matchbox over hot wheels. For Rainy days - board games! Oh yeah, forgot GI Joe....

Army men were 99 cents or less for a bagfull and I would find the guy I liked the best and would be him....hours of fun. The big GI Joe's and I had matchboxes before Hot Wheels came out . I once had ...I think they called them King Matchboxes a green Tractor Trailer with a reddish dozer. And models when I got around 13 mostly pickups and tractor trailers and heavy equipment.

@@cyclenut neither did I. But I remember in the late 60s to the mid 70s the older kids were doing it - pretty stupid. My brother and I were into the monster models and the toy store only sold it to parents. Them models would probably be worth some money today if they were still in the box ?

Super-Elastic Bubble Plastic! I forgot about that one! I spent an entire Summer nearly passing out daily from the strong toxic fumes and from trying to blow through that tiny little straw they gave you to dip into the mixture to blow the bubbles with. I had the Steve Austin action figure, was so cool to look through the little hole in the back of his head to see through his bionic eye, and once you popped his bionic parts out of his body, they never stayed in place again and would often fall out and into his red jumpsuit he wore, so he'd suddenly have this massive lump appear on his arm like a tumour or his legs and look as if he had poo'd himself LOL
