Amazing if that Vertibird still works after all this time. I went thru about 3 different versions and the stupid spring that was the rotor drive snapped on all 3 at some point.1971 Vertibird... (gave it away to a neighbor kid 2021)

My u control airplanes is the reason I would never trust myself at the control of a plane !i had both of those and loved them...possibly the root of my airplane problem

I can’t remember the name of it, this would’ve been during the mid 70s.I loved slot car sets! I'd forgotten about those. I had one that was spotless, and you could make the cars switch lanes on the track.
I got one of those for Christmas in 1959. I still have it but I lost the clamshell decades ago.This was my favorite toy as a child. Lord I wish I'd kept it.

Anyone recall - Johnny West? We had (5) boys in the house all raised on cowboy movies and shows..... A few younger brothers still have theirs.The toys I still have from my childhood are the few that survived abuse from my younger brother. Most of my toys mother kept long after I moved out of her house. The things I wish she kept were my Major Matt Mason stuff:
- Space Crawler
- Uni-Tread (had a cool two-speed auto transmission)
- Moon Base
- Space Bubble
