Toy's of the 60's and 70's
Ok I thought I would jog some old memories with this thread...
I was watching The Santa Claus 2 this afternoon and the scene where they are at the very boring christmas party and Tim Allen breaks out the the santa bag and gives all the adults the toy's they never got (But Wanted) as a kid, Toss Across, Easy Bake Oven, Rock um Sock Um Robots, Battleing Tops......I had all of those toy's! ....even the easy bake oven....Well for boy's it was called the creepy crawler factory.
Seeing that scene reminded me of my love for the old toy's
I spent alot of time collecting pics of the toy's I use to have when I was a kid (another sorta hobby). and If you are my age you will remember that there were no computers untill 1977, there were no video games until the late 70's and the home units did not come until later..There was no internet! There was no politicly correct crap! and the toy's were designed for kids to have fun and not for every toy to be an educational experience, or too safe to play with.
So moslty toy's were the entertainment of the day and these are the toy's I had (and could remember having) Maybe you guy's had some of these too! Don't be shy! jump in!......Enjoy
