'Hey Y'all "Retro" Fans...'

Retro Toys

My favorite toy as a boy was a Big Bang Cannon. My son and daughter grew up with it too.

They still make 'em and they are wonderful to salute the New Year with or to celebrate the 4th of July. With some ingenuity, you can shoot potato or apple cores a full 70 yards or more and make muzzle flashes the size of a mellon. Great fun for guys that never grow up.

Wow, that brings back memories. Man I loved the Tinker Toy sets and the Lincoln Logs. I used to build "forts" my Star Wars action figures with log set, and garages for my Hot Wheels.
 
"Sadly I wasn't old enough to own one a Mattel Agent Zero M Sonic Blaster in 1966 but if I had I can assure you that the side would be marked in chalk "I's" for each eardrum I had blown out (other kids, not mine silly!) This sonic bazooka was pulled off the market after parents realized children could blow out other children's eardrums from "dozens" of feet away."

Holy 'ol underwear... only $3201.00 and 41 cents. Amazing!

Actually I've never heard of and never have seen one.... until now. Toys like that didn't faze me at that age. ;) At 16 I was just getting into checking out the girls. :d
