Favorite toys as a child ?

for me it was Aurora slot cars ( thunder jets and AFX )......I would spend hours racing them. I still have them, and have collected aprox. 300 of them. I loved electric trains as well. I still have those too. I'v been thinkin about finding a place in my shop to set up a small layout just so I can be a kid again....LOL!

Hell, I'd come over and play with ya!
I loved mine as a kid, and building model cars. The kits were $2.99 at Bob's Hobbies on Wood Ave in Bridgeport. They had a TON of them to choose from. Spray paint was $1.00 a can, and brush paint was .15 a bottle.
Those were the days, no dumb-*** video games, damned cell phones and other nonsense. We were out on our bikes every day in the summer (and weekends during school) from daybreak till it got dark. We ate whatever we wanted and never got fat because we were always active. As long as I was home at 10 of 5 for dinner everything was cool!
Nothing like being a kid back in the late 60's/early 70's.
