1. Did anyone other than me order one of those plastic Frankenstein's monster posters from a comic book? Seven feet tall..put it on my door and his eyes glowed in the dark. He protected me from monsters. Lol.

2. I had the missile submarine that fired those plastic missiles. Still have both my eyes…My other favorites: LEGO, Lincoln Logs, my microscope and chemistry set, Mr. Machine, a Screaming Mee Mee (cooler, more sci-fi competitor to Johnny Seven), Dr. Nim, my slot car set, and that Bozo The Clown punching bag (the reason we didn't have school shootings back then?), and my bag of marbles. I was a marble assassin!
   EDIT: Forgot all about View-Master!…and Show and Tell.

3. You mentioned the Atari video game, there was also the Intellivision game

4. I wonder how well a Pet Rock would sell now days with how stupid kids and parents are now days. What no Lawn Darts. Those were always a blast till it went thru someone foot or if they were unlucky their head.

5. A mail truck, a log truck and a car hauler all were made of steel.

6. My sister got the easy bake oven!!!! One of my and my sister's favorite toys was the Crissy and Velvet dolls. We lost them along our lifetime. Then I found them on ebay a few years ago. I bought them and gave Crissy to her for Christmas. SHE CRIED!!!!! We love sharing memories of our childhood and the things we used to have.

15. I remember getting marble jewelry kit for Christmas one year – came with marbles that you dropped in boiling water and they would crack inside and light refracted off them. You got earring holders, ring, necklace and you'd glue the marble in them to make jewelry

16. I loved my Troll doll – 1963 or 1964 – kid down the street was selling them for his parents store – my Daddy gave me money to buy one, I bought one with black hair – I use to wash the hair and put a roller in it – I still have that thing 60 years later

I’ve even heard of Hot 🥵 Wheels 🛞 cars 🚗 that you get to crush 😻, if they get ruined 😠 during play. I also think 🤔 I had some Weebles as a kid 👦. If so, it was sometime around 1975. Your friend, Jeff.

42. Who remembers The Ding-A-Ling robots? Mom brought them for Christmas.

43. As a child my neighbor worked for MB He had no kids himself and would bring toys and games over constantly. Remember Lawn Darts?

44. All the toys mentioned from the say 30`s to 70`s why isn`t Lionel trains ever mentioned? Or Marx? Who didn`t kind of want a train to run around the X-Mas tree? Lionel showed up in A Christmas Story and Leave it to Beaver to name a couple. Lionel even made a girls set. Not popular?
