I grew up in the woods of East Hampton, CT. This was my fave toy...

The Daisy BB Gun with the The Rifleman cock loader thing.

Try “the General” from the late 80s, early 90s.

Incredible giant rolling battle station

No wonder I wanted to be an architect. (I did not become an architect)

I broke pretty much every toy I ever owned and did so relatively quickly, so I don't recall any particular emotional attachments. I do think Hot Wheels had a good run since that track was indestructable.

My all time favorite action figure:

Redirect Notice

After awhile my brother and I would skip the rules and just finish this game for the show:

Mouse Trap

Had some metal, yellow Tonka trucks which are still at my folks' house 40 years later and useable. I'm pretty sure my sister's didn't like my plastic Star Wars light sabre I used to light up and bash them in the head.

A simple wiffle ball bat and ball brought countless hours of happiness to me and my friends growing up.

Something like this but different.

Plus legos.

The Daisy BB Gun with the The Rifleman cock loader thing.

I had the Crossman Powermaster pump action. It had a mag for BBs and took pellets single shot.

Loved Mouse Trap!

But my favorite was this:

Anyone remember these?

Oh, that reminds me of this fave:

Besides "The Duke" football, glove, basketball and hoop my favorite toy was this Johnny Seven gun. Back when you could have such toys. Grenade launcher and rubber bullets. Another favorite was my tabletop ice hockey game with the Canadiens and Maple Leafs. The newer games are not as good as the old ones which had metal rods and players. Three pucks the regular, magnetic and puck with a ball bearing.

Here's a great example, although not quite perfect of the Johnny Seven OMA Gun with the original box and cardboard insert as well. And if you are digging for Trivia, that is a young Ron Howard picture

Summer sledding on the road when I was nine years old. Still recall the screech of brakes. Don't know how I survived.

Tonka trucks in the sandbox!

I still remember the Christmas I got Smash-up Derby. Still remembered the song almost word-for-word.

Remember spending whole hours pouring over every page of the Sears "Wish book" Christmas catalog? I never did get the go-cart or minibike I asked for every year.
