Toys of the '70s

Hi, all. I'm brand new here and thought you all might be interested in a book I just published about the '70s. You can read all about it here: http://www.my70sbook.com. I'd love to hear what you all think about it.
I was born in '59 so I spent my teens in the '70s. One of my favorite toys from the '70s was the Vertibird. It was so cool and was a blast to play with. We used it for far more than it's intended purpose, but we had a TON of fun with it. Of course, I also loved Hot Wheels (and yes, they're all still in my folks' attic) - I only wish I still had some of those awesome cars in mint condition... SuperChargers, lap counters, 1/2 curves, 1/4 cruves, etc. What great fun!
What toys do you all remember?

Ooops! I missed the Fave Toys post (sorry - I'm just a dumb newbie!) I do love those old toys, though. -

THe Fisher Price farm with the door that moos. THe Fisher Price telephone with the moving eyes when you pull it.

For everyone born in 60's and 70's - anything goes! I've been posting entertainment value, & didn't realize, that with just 5 channels I still managed to watch a lot of tv. Also like to post about music, cars, and other things unique to our age. It's also fun to hear about what it was like growing up in countries around the world at that time
