Childhood Toys We Wish We Still Had

[TsgtRet]

Harry, I still have my "Simon" and my late brother's Mattel football game.

I remember my brother had the Marx Civil War set and a friend had the Cape Canaveral set.

Still have a whole box of old Matchbox cars and some old Corgi/Dinky vehicles.....for sure have Olds and Chevy police cars and the gold Lincoln Lehman Peterson limo.

Someone mentioned the Kenner sets; we had the "Girder & Panel" and the "Bridge & Turnpike" sets (perfect Matchbox scale) not sure if they were originally Kenner or not.

When I was a kid in the 60's I had about 25 full size G.I. Joes. Had most of the accessories as well. Jeep, space ship etc. When I was at college in the 70's my mother called one day and asked if it would be OK to sell them at an up coming garage sale. I said sure as they were only in their original boxes taking up space in the attic. One guy bought the entire lot. Wish I knew then what I know now.
