As the 70s hit, we had cool stuff like AFX slot cars.
I actually had ol #7
I remember those, my brother had them, it had this plastic rod you pulled through it to make it go.At first I thought this was one of the 'break up' cars I remember. I think there were 4 or 6 pieces that snapped together. You pulled it backwards, then let it go till il hit a wall or something and 'cracked up!' Great fun on the linoleum kitchen floor!
Another common one, plastic army men, in this case armed with M16s, my brother and I had over a thousand of these at one time.
Missing: Silly Putty, Fizzies, Slinky, Whamo Slip n' Slide...
We still have all that in Seattle, mostly at the dollar stores though. Pop Rocks were one thing I missed ... until I found them at the dollar store ... woohoo!
Pop Rocks were more the 80's! Trust me, the silly putty, etc., today are not what they were back when. I know, I bought the remakes for my own kids.
They changed the forumula, the original was made with petroleum products, as were most of our toys back then.Silly putty today sucks. It doesn't even that the right smell.

Anyone remember Zarex? No wonder I was so hyper! Mom always had a jug of it.
