I had never seen the rockets, or the Agent Zero piece. My friend had one of those disc shooter thingies.

I had the water-pressure rocket. That led to the Estes variety a few years thereafter. I also had the Mattel Thingmaker with various color of Goop and the molds for the creepy-crawlies. On the automotive side, Hot Wheels of course and the powered versions, the Sizzlers with the three-lanes-wide vinyl track. Also a Johnny Lightning track that was a self-contained unit with levers that grabbed the hole in the bottom of the car and propelled it up a slope whereupon it ran down the track by gravity, rather like a roller coaster. Also a bunch of Matchbox cars & trucks, including several of the Super Kings trucks. I pestered my grandmother for months about the green & yellow Dodge dump truck with dump trailer, and she finally got it for me for Christmas one year. I guess I was about seven and it cost something like six dollars...a small fortune for a toy at that time, but not as princely a sum as Corgi.

And you thought they only made lawn mowers!  I had one of these when I was about 6 or 7 years old. My uncle worked at the Murray factory in Lawrenceburg, and my dad got the "family" discount! |

Slot cars were the best!!! Hi Joe! Speaking of slot cars, do you remember my 1/24 scale slot car set? We had lots of fun with it! I still have it! Kelley and I raced the slot cars a couple of years ago. She won! I plan to build a table, and set up the track permanently. Hopefully I can do that next year. |
