@Tediuki Suzuki Operation was a board game. It had a picture of a man with openings at the leg bones, arm bones, etc. And you had tweezers to try and get the bones out without touching the sides or it would buzz and you'd be out. Then, it was time for the next person. I think it also lit up when it buzzed. It has been around 50 years since I played that game. It was fun.

@scotcarr3390 4 года назад

I have hope that's not gonna be the case. Even though I have no kids of my own (never got the right relationship for it & I'd probably be a crap dad anyway), I still love toys as a 50+ year old child. There's been a trend reviving "classic" toy & game lines. They're probably meant for old guys like me (nostalgia sells, kids!), BUT they're on the toy shelves anyway! Retooled to make them safer or cheaper to make, to be sure, but such things as the Fischer Price toys I fiddled w/as a wee one ("music box" record player, wind-up lenticular TV, House Clock, & on & on) Spin & Say, Lite Brite, Etch a Sketch, & of course, constant board & gimmick game tweaks & retweaks. If you buy them, & PLAY w/your kids using them, kids will play w/'em on their own too! THAT'S the ultimate solution!

@fandoria09 Год назад

You had remakes of these because in the 1980s, the original Fisherprice families' farms & house were all changed. The families were made out of wood when I was little in the 1970s but were made out of plastic in the 1980s. They changed so many of the toys from the ones made in the '70s & '80s. Matchbox & Hotwheels did do a recall on a lot of their toys due to led being found in their paint & was becoming a serious health hazard to young children from the paint flaking off & accidentally ingested from the tiny flakes sticking to the skin. It's rare to come across toys that were made in the 1970s today. I'm glad I still have all of mine. I never even let my own daughters play with them when they were little. And yes, my childhood toys show years of play & age. Can't believe all my childhood toys will be from 41 years to 51 years old this Christmas.

Lincoln Logs! I can’t remember the name of the other construction-type toy I had, but I used to build skyscrapers with it. The only parts I remember off-hand were black plastic vertical and horizontal “beams”, and some silvery mylar/plastic “windows”...all of it just snapped together. I made buildings 15+ stories tall with it, keeping me occupied for hours at a time. I also remember my first gaming console from the late 70s. I *think* it was called Telstar 301, or something like that. You could flip a switch on the console to select the game you wanted to play - it only had three or four of them. The toys of my childhood...I miss them.

@mde2k1 4 года назад

It has long been my opinion that the Evil Knievel Stunt Cycle was the coolest toy created. They weren't all that expensive but damned near indestructable. I spent hours ad hours playing with mine. The sound it made when you were cranking it up on the launcher was one of the coolest parts and you hear it in cartoons to this day. It probably wasn't even part of the plan but a very lucky effect of the cogs that powered it. And the toy ran on 100% kid power, no electricity or batteries!!!

I remember that several of my friends have a toy walkie talkie back then in the 1970s and it has a range of around 100 feet. It operates at 27 MHz FM but it does not have a squelch so it's noisy during standby mode. The design is not good because of the talk button briefly short circuits the transmitting transistor when you press it causing it to fail in a few days after constant use that it can still receive but not transmit. I fixed it many years later when I was already in my 20s but it failed again in a few days just like when it was fixed by a technician when we were children.
