Born in 70 so I "thought" we had some pretty cool toys back then.. some of my favorite were...

The Gi Joe ATV Aqua Car... now I could not find the original one... this is close or I am remembering it wrong... it looked way cooler back then had all this camo netting and gas tanks...

this thing is THE Big wheel to have had back then (they are currently reselling it it at target for $89.00) but I would have to loose more then half my body weight to ride it :(


cool thing about the green machine (young kids and ladies) was you had side to side breaking action!! you would go forward as fast as you can then basically "drift" into a turn.

After watching Star Wars we managed to get the Star Wars set for the Viewmaster... you kids with your internets are so spoiled!!

I dunno if it was before or after the vertibird but someone came out with a plane set similar but it was on a flexible piece of wire instead of the rigid kind the vertibird used, it would get to humming! can't remember what it was called.
 
and who could forget this one that is still around today with a few modifications.
