What was the coolest toy you had as a kid?

[YY1]

I took a brief dive into 1/35 military models around 1983-85.
Patton tank
Ford "Mutt"
Field command center and officers.

I could see that was gonna be a "rabbit hole" before such term was in common use.
Had to resist (and save the $$$)

...after a long 1/72 scale stint.

I had a break from making models for about 20 years

I had the Remco Submarine. I was really into subs as a kid. About 3rd.grade, Superballs came out. I thought they were awesome. About 2.5" in diameter. I remember they cost $1.

Cast iron John Deere pedal tractor.

We didn’t own a car when I was 8 so my Dad and I brought it home on the city bus.

GI Joe remote control tank. Got one for Christmas in 1962. Then in the summer of 63 while playing army with the other guys, they set it on fire stating that it got hit by German artillery. I hunted each one down over the next week and beat the snot out of them, Finally the parents of one of the guys actually apologized and bought me a new one. Then within the next week my dumbass dog chewed the **** out of it. Ended up getting an Erector set after Anger Management.
