How many hours did you spend playing with these toys as a kid?

A ton. Also those big arse foam gliders that were like 3’ long

So much fun, yet so fragile.

Not as much as my ding-a-ling

They were a blast when combined with fireworks.

Every time I spent the weekend at my maw maw and paw paw's they would let me an my brothers walk over to the local grocery an buy a couple of these balsa planes. It would occupy us for at least 3 hours. After we got bored we'd sneak in the woods and smoke.

About as often as I played with this

The Tom Thumb behind my neighborhood had them. For $2-3 you could get a squadron of the monoplanes or a couple of the biplanes.
Bottle rocket modifications were always needed.

Like 10 minutes probably.

I only see one toy and not toys so five minutes max
Posted on 5/14/22 at 10:26 am to GumboPot
The balsa gliders and wind-ups were regular toys that lasted a couple hours max.

This.
We would head down to PakASak and get the gliders for about 15c. Wind ups a bit more expensive so we didn’t get them often. They lasted about an hour. Then the Black Cats took over.
