Mine was my knight rider big wheel. I could pull off some vicious doughnuts with it. My GI JOE tank has to get an honorable mention, it could go anywhere.

Massey Ferguson 175 Tractor with implements, (disc, plow, manure spredder and grain wagon) Growing up on the farm, we went through about 10 sets of those. My brother still has one set that's in fair shape. (Brand new set goes for $800 on eBay)

LOLZ, being from So Cal, we used to make bow & arrows out of palm tree branches and blacktop sharpened sticks.

Now that I think back on that and the injuries we sustained,(those branches were perfect!) we came really close to killing each other.

Ah yes, good times, good times.

Evil Knievel Stunt Cycle! Some kind of shooting range with a pump shot gun that shot darts (stuck to almost everything! Did not stick to my sister, but I kept shooting her anyway!). Got a GI Joe for a birthday one year and didn't like it much. Whamo super ball! Best "toy" was a coffee can full of worms and a fishin pole!

I really enjoyed my wrist rocket slingshot until I shot one of our cats with it and it died under mom's car in the garage.

There ya go....

That's entertainment.....

Oh, and Hot Wheels when you had to be at home. I loved the plastic track with the foam rubber spinning wheels inside the little building that would keep them whizzing around the track even through the loop-d-loop. Good times....

Used to have one of these....

Wish I still had it. Mom sold it in a garage sale

Anybody remember the old SSP Crash-up Derby cars. When I got mine we had just moved a double-wide mobile home onto a poured, but unfinished, basement. Boy that was fun, watching those cars zip 60 feet and hit that cement wall at about 50 mph. It wasn't long before the pieces wouldn't fit back on the cars or they would fly so far we couldn't find them amongst all the junk down there. But it sure was fun while it lasted.

Who knew you could take out seagulls from a hundred yards with a wrist rocket and a handful of arrows?

I loved BB guns...until my mom came home and found about 20-30 dead birds in our back yard

I used to like those little gas powered airplanes where you had fuel, a battery, and the prop was spring loaded to start. Then it made that really high pitched sound, and you got fuel all over you, just for a thirty second flight of going round and round (plane was on strings). What were those called? No clue, but I am sure I about cut my fingers off with them trying to start um up!

Also had slot cars. They were ok, but I always wanted TCR, total control racing from Aurora! It was slot cars with no slot, and you could change lanes and pass! Also wanted a real Radio Control Airplane and Car! I guess now I can afford them, but just can't seem to make myself spend the money and time on them! Disc golf too important!
