Hot Wheels ruled, and they still do! I still have my very first one - a purple "Custom Fleetside", in terrible condition, missing 3 of the wheels and most of the paint. But - it's my first Hot Wheel car, and it started my collection of literally thousands of others.
As I was born in '61, I was a bit too big for a "Big Wheel" when they came out in the early 1970's. By then, I already had a regular bicycle, a purple Sears "Spyder", which I still own! The neighbor kid down the street got a Big Wheel, and it was a blast... until the front wheel got the inevitable flat spot from always skidding the "tire" on the same spot, caused by having your right leg extended all the way forward. From that point, it was "thump - thump - thump" anywhere you went, which really wasn't much fun.

Wow, View Master knocked it out of the park, even beating Hot Wheels! I liked Matchbox better, anyway - though Hot Wheels were a LOT of fun! HW for racing and MB for pretend play.
I loved View Master, having owned the regular viewer, Talking VM, and the projector. Plus a toy-box full of reels. Simply the best!

84%. I had Hot Wheels, and a power house that the track attached to, so the cars went in one side and then shot out the other really fast. Man I loved that thing.

I scored 90% similar. I wanted a Big Wheel so bad but my father wouldn't let me have one. He said it was made out of plastic and "cheap"
My kids got View-Masters as one of their Christmas gifts one year. I played with them as much as they did.😄
My favorite disk was The Beverly Hillbillies.

My favorite toys growing up were my Six Million Dollar Man and my Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle! Used to make ramps out of albums for Evel to jump 👌🏽

Did anyone have a Carrom board? I just googled to find out when they were created and if they were still being made (since I don't think I've seen one in almost fifty years). Turns out they're older than I would have guessed, they're still being made, and prices for a new one start at around $130 and go *way* up from there.

The first one about Pong needed a "had it and meh" option.
I loved video games but a lot of the early ones were a buzzkill.

for the hot wheels collectors/lovers - that rubber band powered do-dad was called a Rod Runner. The car would go into this car wash looking thing and get kicked out with rubber band power
