And Erector sets! I remember fondly building my erection out of those metal bars and bolts and little nuts.

I never had an Erector Set, although I wanted one. I think they were more expensive than Lincoln Logs or Tinker Toys....

My horriblest memories include going to my grandparent's house on the the weekends, and having to sit there while they watched Lawrence Welk on TV. And there was no escaping it either, because the internet had not yet been invented. So we would have to sit there and watch the Lenin Sisters and those cheesy skits with the silly costumes.

I had a Starship Enterprise erector set... the one with the blinking lights.. and shuttlecraft.
It's still hanging in my moms basement.

I just got an email from Jeremie. He says that all is well. He's just been busy with work, and some family drama with their folks, but everyone is doing OK. He says to say Hi to everyone.
I just missed the Big Wheel . . . they came out a year or two after I was too big for one already!
Glad to hear that he's okay. I imagine he'll be back when life settles down for him. Thanks, Mike....

Sorry to hear that we did have many of the same toys. Hot wheels were fun too. I eventually upgraded the big wheel for a schwinn stingray. I think I put colored spoke covers on it from McDonalds. I remember those orange safety flags. At some point put a headlight generator that pushed against the wheel for power.
There were big wheels available when I was a kid, but I never had one.
Yeah, we had 'em, too....
I saved my money and upgraded from my Royce Union to a metal flake green Schwinn Stingray with the banana seat and tall sissy bar . . . only to have it stolen the first time I rode it to the store and locked it to the bike rack. Very sad day! I didn't even have the chance to turn it into a pre BMX, BMX bike.
I was 17 when they were introduced....

That is the exact bike I had. I just realized none of my kids will ever get the paper route experience. I briefly did that for our local daily pilot.
