I had many of those! Remember the junkyard derby ones that used to break into pieces? Hours of fun! And who amongst us did not have their GI Joe take their sister's Barbie dolls as prisoners? LOL!!

I used to love these things...
if I still had my toys from those years wrapped in original packaging...I'd own a collective in Colorado. I hate my mom! LOL!!

My uncle had one of those and I always considered it to be the coolest toy ever.

I was unaware of this. And strange how my Leggos always disappeared when she ran the vac. My Dad was an anal, avid collector. And those boxes take up too much sq footage here. Everywhere. Keep those boxes people.

I had a similar for one run into a curb. A p-51 and pt-19 Cox/Estes line control planes in the garage rafters. Fun as a youth. Crazy after a few steps up. Did line control combat unti I saw a launcher killed by one of these. 70's and 80's were play at your own risk.

Honestly killed by line control combat plane in the almost big boy class. Released the plane from behind and not out side wing spar. 0-100 in feet. Lines went taught. Pilots perceived level aileron went to full up with G force. Maybe a 12' loop and instant. Still gives me chills. And people still do it. Videos of pure insanity by very happy people.
Peace.
That happens when the father actually wants something, just buy it for the kid.

My wife tells of how she would buy her brother gifts she wanted. If he did not want them she got to keep them.
I was at a park along a river and I saw an air-liner about to crash into the ground, yelled out “NOOOOOOOOO” for the fcker to pull a 180 and go back into the air. It was a model airplane of a 747 that was the size of a car. Large enough that it totally looked real till it maneuvered in a way that defied its perceived size and weight.

This is true because I've done it myself as a father. It's also funny because my dad didn't play it at all for the first year or so, but then he became obsessed with Mario. He would run all the way through without grabbing anything or losing a life. He still brags about it.
