Old Toys of Yesteryear
 

Pretty much like the Restaurants of Yesteryear Thread. But this involves toys you grew up with that may not be in production anymore, or at least to the best of your knowledge.

I'll start.

Tinker Toys

I had a HUUUUUGE set of these and ended up selling them in a garage sale.

CrossBows and Catapults.

Would never make it today....it's to 'violent'!

Lincoln Logs (I don't know if they're still in production)

Clackers

Tonka trucks made of metal....

One of my favorites was my Girder & Panel building set, I loved designing and building my own skyscrapers. I also had the Girder & Panel bridge set. Very cool stuff.

Actually they are, I bought some for my nephew for Christmas a couple years ago.

Teddy Ruckspin
Crash-Test-Dummies
Mighty Max

Cool. I think I'll buy my daughter some. Today's toys don't make kids use their imaginations.

Corn cob darts (whirlygigs?)

Johnny Express. It was a tethered remote control tractor trailer. I could park it in any tight spot. :)

erector set. Heh, my first erection

Gailord (sp?). Best dog ever. He was a battery operated Basset Hound (actual size). All 4 legs walked and he had a magnet in his nose that would pick up a magnetic bone. I LOVED GAILORD.

I wish they still made Stretch Armstrong today, I was looking for one last xmas for my nephew.

GI JOE. In the old days, he was big enough to **** Barbie.
