My mom told me I'd go blind.
What was the coolest toy you had as a kid?

I believe I had the Richard Petty California Speedway set which was very basic, but it's hard to recall because I soon bought extra track and cars to expand it a little bit. Thank you paper route! One thing I remember for sure, the cross track sure added a lot of fun!
We took the straight lengths of track and made a drag strip. I had an AFX 69 Daytona Charger stock car and a Petty Superbird. We used to put Crisco shortining on the back tires and make them do burnouts!

Great topic, Steve.
Some of us have fond memories of childhood. I know that I do.
I was one of four kids in a family with just dad bringing in the money. He did well, we never went hungry or wore tattered clothes. We had toys.
I recall the Stretch Armstrong dolls, the Six Million Dollar Man and GI Joe "Action figures" too. I had the SMDM space rocket and moon tent. I had the GI Joe Jeep. Smash up Derby cars, Younger brother had U-Drive-It, a toy with small cars and a console with a steering wheel to direct them on the track.
Sister had the EZ bake oven and Barbie dolls.

I had the tyco cars that switched lanes and you could pass people. Didn’t really work that good. Then got regular HO with those cars with magnets
Like building a Mopar in these times,all you need is six million dollars! We have the technology,we can rebuild it!
I had the train set with the three metal rails!
The Evil Knievel RV and the ramps to send him over it to smash the models I made was fun. Models were what I wanted the most. I got the large 63 Split window Vette when I was maybe 10. The ultimate was the USS Constitution. I spent months on that and was so proud of it. Someone broke into my first apartment years later and that's the only thing I miss that they took.
My younger brother, by 7 years .
It's a wonder he lived, He is though to this day one tuff sob.
He was our crash test dummy and stunt man all in one.
But to give a correct response I have to go with a BB gun

Ahh the atari 2600 and the aurora race tracks both classic for those of us who were kids in the 80's, I would add the master of the universe action figures
