Hot Wheels, and Lego, my most memorable.
And the Red Ryder wagon!!!!
I actually got one for Christmas when I was a kid.
Ah yes....the much desired mini-bike! Just about the best gift a kid could ever get back in the 70's.
My Millenium Falcon!!!
No one mentioned Creepy Crawlers.
First gift I actually remember receiving and really appreciating was a RemCo JFK International Airport lay set w/ the headphones.
Creepy Crawlers was a mold set which heated a plastic mix.
When it cooled off you pulled the large bug, spider, whatever, out of the mold.
The mold was square and sized the same as a "Vacuform".
That toy heated a sheet of plastic and you pumped a suction pump to make the shapes provided.
Why am I telling you this?
My kid brother got one and while he was heating the scorpion mold he caught the electric cord and pulled the toy off the table.
It landed up side down.....on his inner thigh.....closer to his tummy than his knee.
Let's just say the scar it left was likely a source of interesting conversation.
I'll stop now.
Big wheel, Schwinn stingray yellow 5speed black banana seat my two favorites
