    In an age of KZreadrs that seem to be in a competition to see who can be the loudest, I found this a nice change of pace. Just shots of all the fun toys of the day. It also made me realize how much I miss Baron Karza and Andromeda.

    One of the toys was so obscure that I never thought about it for decades. And there it was! Thanks for awakening a very old memory. Sincerely.

    I'll say it once and I'll say it again I tell everybody that the 70s produced the best toys ever. Of course I'm extremely fond of the Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman I've been collecting both prospective toy lines for over 30 years. Needless to say I have a lot of great toys from the 70's and very early 80's enjoy them very much.

    Every year waiting for the toys catalog to come was the best thing, born in 68, make 2 list one for mom and dad, then the big one to my grandparents, I miss Christmas as a kid. Toys were toys. Atari 2600 I thought was the greatest thing.

    The 70's were a great time to be a kid. I vividly remember playing with the Shogun Warriors, Evel Knievel motorcycle and energized Spider Man. I may have had Mr. Mouth too, but I'm not 100% sure. Honorable mention should also go to the Big Wheel, Fisher Price toys, Tonka trucks, Matchbox, Hot Wheels, Big Trak, checkers, Candy Land, Loc Blocs (a small kids version of Legos), slot car sets, Lionel train sets, etc. Some of those may have had their origins in earlier decades, but they translated well into the 70's and beyond.

    The Sears catalog!!! The highlight of the Christmas season when it showed all those colorful and amazing toys you so desperately begged Santa for but your parents could rarely afford! I have two catalogs one from Wards and the other a Sears Christmas toy catalog. My kids go nuts every year when I put them out during the season!

    The Sears (Christmas Wishbook) is from 1983 and the Wards (Winter catalog) is from 1979. I got them because they denote the ColecoVision, Intellivision, Atari 2600, Atari 5200 and Texas Instruments computer. I'm hoping someone will start posting catalogs online and hope to scan mine so there is a reference online for them.

I had forgotten all about having that little rubber Smokey Bear until now. Seeing it made my eyes water up.

    Oldest Kid In The World I can say this after watching a few more of you videos I had a large majority of these toys and they were well taken care of I left most of my collection in the states (apartments here are small) I was wondering have you ever heard of these toys called Ding-aLings (no joke) I received them Christmas 1969, 6 small robots and a large one they could go inside I just picked them up at a yard sale for (my dog chewed up my originals from 69). I must also thank my parents I wanted for nothing but far from spoiled I would get the strap from time to time but the collection of toys I was give is incredible but they also hold great memories of great times. I can remember my mother and father looking all over for the six millon dollar man figure took us six months but I finally got it for Christmas 1975 (as well as maskatron, Bigfoot, and Oscar) , or getting the mego Batman with the removable cowl on a rainy Friday in green acres mall NY 1974. It’s the value of the memories is why I still have my toys. I’ll be waiting and watching for more videos. Thanks
