Think you can, or think you can't. Either way your right.
I wanted a go-kart from the Sears catalog! I can still remember the picture and the layout of the page. This would have been about 1959! It was $86 back then, a fortune! Never got one, but it was a nice dream.

wow, I can hardly remember yesterday. I do remember really wanting a bb gun, a green machine (sort of like a big wheels), and a You-do-Ball set (mix powder and water mold and cast your own super balls). I got the bb gun and You-do-balls

I also remember a Mould Master. Got to mould my own toys and learn about fill out, leaving a good sprue and making sure the mould halves fit well toghther.
The plastic was hotter than lava and stuck to anything with skin. But is sure was fun.
Would be a great toy to introduce a boy to casting - without the lead.

I am from a younger generation than some of those toys, but I did have a Megatron(Transformers) that turned into a Walther pistol. I wonder why that version of him did not make it into the new movies?
Thanks for the flashback. I had forgotten about that radio gun.
All I wanted (age 8) was to be allowed to use Dad's .22 to shoot gophers! Took me two more years to convince (nag, pester) him into letting me have it!

The Zero M is a little before my time, but my older brother had , I think, the folding rifle one..
In my day, I wanted a Johnny Eagle military set. Don't remember what it was called, but,
the big game set was called the safari, or something like that...
I drooled over the Heathkit catalogs... I was tinkering with electronics when I was 9
I don't remember wanting after toys so much but before i was 8 i wanted my own knife , got one when i was 8 for Christmas , when i was 8 I had a red fiberglass bow my dads old leather quiver and a half dozen arrows from the hardware store the neighbor boy and I terrorized every rabbit and squirrel around only got a few until I got a better bow about age 10 or 11 then they were in trouble.
I had a huge erector set, it came in a big red box the size of suitcase. Built everything imaginable with it.
Shootin' Shell guns by Mattel ! Too many bucks for our family then.
