    Kenner's Turbo Tower of Power


    Kenner's Turbo Tower of Power was a strong selling item for the majority of the 1970s and it's not hard to see why. The Turbo Tower device gave boys a combination they loved, vehicles and speed, in the era of Evel Knevial, it's no surprise it was a hit..

          Oddly I don't recall these although that chopper guy does look familiar but I might be thinking of those earlier Hotwheels (or whoever made them) choppers.

            I really don't remember these, but then again I was never much of a car and motorcycle kid, so I guess I just wasn't paying attention. I'm sure my son would love these though.

              I pumped a couple of these to death as a kid, another Toltoys branded item here in Australia. I have a boxed one and catalogue somewhere, can't find a pic though frustratingly...

              TTP was cool!

                I remember these, but I always thought they were a lesser version of Evel Knievel's bike. I also preferred SSP's when it came to vehicles and speed.

                  Had the car set as a kid and loved it! I've been trying to pick one up for a while now but you don't see the car sets come up very often.

                      Yes and they were cool. Made a whine noise that you just don't forget. The coolest ones were the Smash-Up Derby IMO.

                        Was watching a motorcycle race set on Ebay(mostly complete with box), but it was sold before I could get the money to buy it. Currently own two of the Six Million Dollar Man sets(one with the original box). In the market for the Jamie Sommers with bionic cycle & Steve Austin vs Bigfoot sets.
