Yeah I just remembered I got it in the 90s lol my bad.

Heck no brother. You know I was just teasing. I stand corrected. My apologies. Had no clue it was from the 70s.

Now MJ? Hmmm. . . .He may have been in the late 80's. Clearly dominated the 90's though. I'll bet there is a bunch from the early 90's I am thinking was in the 80s. lol

When we went to our grandparents they had a “toybox” filled with the simplest/plain toys but they all got played with. The Cadillac of the heap was one of these! This isn’t the same exact make and model but very similar. It was amazing how every shot went in the small basket.

Not sure this game came around but as kids we played his for hours at my grandparents home....

And let's not forget about the bra-less era of the 70's.... 90 % of the women were out and about bra-less wearing halter top's.... According to some this lead to Cooper's Droop....

Here in Ashtabula we had a Flying Saucer Gas N Go gas station, it was well known through out the states so I am told. It has since been torn down.

Cool, we also had the football game field that vibrated the players to move. It sucked ass watching your running back going backwards or sideways. Lol
We also had a hockey game set that you operated the players by using long or short rods underneath the table and the puck was a small marble sized ball bearing surrounded loosely by a thick plastic ring. That game kept us entertained for hours.👍🏻
I think I still have it.

I’d have to admit but my favorite toys of all time and Ron could prolly vouch for that would be our Hot Wheels,tracks,ramps,loops and electric racetrack. You know the one, the groove with two thin metal wires with one on each side. We always wanted the super big track but I guess due to size and cost we had the small irregular figure 8 with bridge but he were happy as heck to have that one. I can still smell the oil underneath those cars getting hot. 😎👍🏻
