Growing through childhood in the 1940s-1950s, there was not the proliferation of toys which we see today. My favorite "toy" was a microscope. I had such fun examining all the wrigglies from every pond and all the artwork seen in fly's wings and common dirt. To me, it was an adventure, an entertainment, and I never dreamed I was playing on the front porch of science.
Chemistry lab.
Ah, man. I'd forgotten that one.
With the glass tubes and compounds and the experiment book...sweet.:thumb:
lain: I had them all....
...along with X-Wing Fighter, TIE Fighter (both regular and Darth Vaders), Land Speeder, Death Star, Mellinium Falcon, and various other items. All original 12 1978 figures and up stuff.
Oh how I wish I had all that stuff now $$$. :allsmile:

We also had this funny metal scooter like thing that you sat on, steered by pushing the front axle left or right with your feet and it was propelled by pumping a rod back and forth between the legs. It never had a brand name so never knew what to call it except the "yellow thing."

I'm surprised it wasn't a shotgun....
Mine was a 'Hornby' model railway set...
