Do you remember:
Lincoln log master building block sets?! They came in a huge 5 gallon sized can! It was like almost a 1000 pieces and you could build a real nice log cabin or any type structure!
The old steel ' Erector Sets' with miniature stamped steel girders! It came complete with little brass pullys and a neat little transparent plastic battery operated motor to power your creation!
A clear plastic robot called "Mr Machine"?

Don't remember Mr Machine.
What about the wooden Tinkertoy construction sets?

Didn't get an erector set either.

Yes on Tinkertoys.
Toys that developed imagination.

I remember back in 78 or so getting a race track that was not slotted. The track had a rail all the way around. Think it was TRX or something like that. There was a button on the controller you used to change lanes when you wanted. So you could pass a car. I remember it was pretty cool. Haven't ever seem them again.

SCX makes 1/32 and (I think) 1/43 scale tracks with passing lanes.

Remember when you didn't have a pot to **** in or a window to throw it out of?
