These little cars would inevitably turn into lethal projectiles.

Wow! The Evel Knievel bike brings back memories. That was my very first bicycle. It came with training wheels, and my older brother helped me remove them because Evel would not have had training wheels. I crashed a couple of times at the start, but learned quickly so I would not scuff up my bike.

Scoop net and a bucket. Man, you could really find some interesting things with that. I need to get that for my granddaughter when she is old enough.

On those electronic circuit toys. I can personally tell yall that those little red and blue wires don't work as extension cords for Christmas lights.

One thing I loved was this toy that was sort of shaped like a submarine with two pulleys in the top and a hook at the bottom. You ran a string through the pulleys and then in to a door knob or something, held the other end of the string and you could raise and lower arm to send it back and forth. You could dive bomb pyramids of plastic cups or use the hook to pick up stuff. I can’t recall what it was called but I loved that damn thing.
