Of course, you had stompers, super awesome 4wd trucks that ran on. Single AA battery.

I had this really awesome matchbox car that was a pullback and release into basically like a 3 gallon bucket and it would race around and around the walls.

There were some really neat pullback matchbox cars that you could rebuild.

Then many many Tyco cars,trucks,motorcycles.

HO trains and slot cars. But I gotta say, I honestly don't remember when I didn't have an r/c car or truck. The first ones were the kind where you press a button and it goes straight, let go of the button and in went back and to the left or right.

Same here, along with a 4 by 8 plywood HO train set I got for Christmas one year.

Still have it packed away in my mom's garage.

That reminds me, I had a motorized monster truck that crushed foil cars that you stamped out of a plastic press shaped like a garage. I've still got it but forgot what it was called.

Edit: haha, it's amazing what you can find. This is it.

I had many of the toys listed above, but I'll add Construx and Rip Rock n Rollers.





I'm not sure how to embed videos :oops: , so you'll just have to click the links.

Edit, figured it out. Thanks, Todd!
