Topic: Toy-hood memories

Here's a trip down memory lane  that starts in 1950 which is not early enough for some of us.  Fortunately we have several goes at it
thanks to kids etc.

Wow!  Some of those brought back some memories.  I recall being quite good at Etch-a-Sketch.  One glaring ommission from that list is the Spacehopper, which I believe came into existence in around 1969. I remember having one, and bouncing off of it, landing flat on my nose against the kerb.  I've still got a bump on my nose now, and find it difficult to find glasses that fit properly as a result!

I was surprised too.  I'm certain there are many omissions.
