Go ahead. Have some fun while giving away your approximate age.   :P

Anything BIG JIM I had. May have even had the T-Shirt.

This setup was awesome while growing up on 166 acres. The BIG JIM Sports Camper!
Take the whole thing anywhere on the land!  ;D

Marx Big Wheel.  It was like a Corvette for a four year old.

Nice. I never had one of those. I sure liked the big wheel Danny was riding in The Shining.

BB gun hat I had for about half a day.  I shot something I shouldn’t have and it was taken away.

We had that one as well and a good workout for quite a time, but hands down the one that lasted for decades was tabletop hockey.

OH Heck Yeah!  The one I had featured the Canadiens vs the Bruins. I remember being pissed that they didn't make a Vancouver Canucks vs..  version.

Did your rods get all.. bendy? @Smokin Hot Bob
And sometimes the little plastic knobs would come off.





I had this Godzilla with fire thingy that would slide in and out of his mouth.

Wing rods, bent, twisted and resurrected time and again. Removable sticks flying off the hook, taped and retaped. We played with passion. And we used a ball bearing puck. The current international standard for table hockey is STIGA, but for me just not the same.
