Kenner Building Sets- When my parents moved out of New Orleans in 1980, they got rid of all my old toys from the early 60's when I was a kid. Last year I got a bit of nostagia, bought an old vintage 50's set, maybe I will set up with my grandkids!

I was a kid a long time ago and can remember my first electric train set by Lionel. Also, Lincoln Logs, Erector Set and of course a new set of metal sidewalk skates every Christmas because they didn't last a year since we wore them out.

I loved the Varoom Motor. So much better than playing cards attached to your spokes with clothespins.

Hey globetrootter747, can I come over after school tomorrow and play ?

I came to post almost the exact same list. I had the same setup with castle greyskull, He-man and battlecat, orco the ghost guy, man of arms and Skeletor with his cat (can’t remember the cats name). Also had an array of hot wheels

CT, you and I might be the only ones here that remember those things.

Actually saw these a few months back at Target. I couldn't believe they still existed. I loved these dumb games when I was little.

There was a precursor to leidos. They were plastic cubes eith a hole in each side. One side had a flap.
Loved those things.
