After the Saturday cartoon thread, I figured this thread would come up soon. I had great toys growing up, and enough of them to make many here want to beat me up for it.

I loved playing with them all, and most of them (like my baseball cards) got strategically rotated out by my mother, to a variety of kids who had less. I may not have been happy, at the time, but clearly room was made for the new, and  the lessons have endured.

My Kenner Girder & Panel set had a yellow elevator cab & motor mechanism. With a companion set, I was also able to build roads & highways, and there were even exit signs and such.

Along with Lincoln Logs, American Bricks, Tinker Toys, and Poly Rods, the Kenner set was passed on to my 4 year old next door neighbor in the past year, as he displayed a strong interest in & aptitude for building toys. Those that he doesn't like as much will go to the children's area of the local library branch.

In this thread, it has been easier to mostly Like the toys that others have posted, if I grew up with them too. I'll post pictures of a few items I haven't yet seen.
