Okay, I had tons of these as a kid, I gotta be honest here a little, I was a little spoiled as a kid, I wasnt a brat but out of all my aunts and uncles on both sides I was the first kid in my family. So I racked up at x-mas and b-days and any ol time !!!!!!!!! I was also known for taking very good care of my stuff as a child so If someone got me something they knew it was going to be broke in a day ( I wish I still had all my stuff, my cousins got it in the 80s when I became a teenager).
Anyhow, I had alot of playsets. I had the Navarone, several of the Marx sets in the box with the plastic top , and ton of the cheapo ones like you found at Wool-Worths, Roses, K Marts and the likes. I swear I had enough plastic army guys tanks and other equipment I could have staged an entire renenactment of WW2. I guess these were fairly cheap back then and would keep out of whoever was in charge of me at given times hair for hours on end.
I remember having a Godzilla set, Dinos. I recall one set that had 2 b-52s and several smaller planes, a playmat and some paper buildings, it had the really tiny army guys like in the Godzilla set, sorta like those comic book ad guys youd get for 1.99 plus shipping and handeling!! I had the revolutionary war set from comics. I recall another set I got that was typical green army man scale but the tanks and stuff had to be snapped together, Im pretty sure it was a D-day set , it had a pillbox/bunker type piece.
I remember being about 15 one day when my cousins got to be about 5/6 years old and giving them a huge cardboard box full of all the pieces from these things, they had a fit. Boy If I had known then, jeez.
Anyways, anyone else love these as much as I do/did and remember any of this stuff?
