3. These cars I had that when you pulled a thing thru them (like the Evel Knievel cycle), they took off really fast but they were put together with body panels that were made to "crash" and come apart (from the '70s)
Those were the Kenner Smash-Up Derby cars ScottA mentioned. I never had them, but friends did and they were awesome!
I had a green Incredible Hulk Motorized Boat that was really cool. For some reason, I think about that item a lot. My 6MDM Bigfoot would have been nice to have kept. The chest plate was so hard to keep track of, even back in the day. And the big Godzilla I've seen on here was there as well, not sure what happened to it. I also had that Micronauts spaceship thing I got for Christmas (1977?). That was a cool toy. But I did hold on to much more than most people (all my Mego's) so I'm lucky.

Evil Knievel. Had basic stunt cycle and his van
Mighty Max. 13" robot type figure w/ chrome head and motorized "skateboard" vehicle.
Big Jim and stuff. Didnt have much there
I wish I still had those knock off GI Joe accessories most of all. I had a knock off version of the training tower. I was more fun than the Hasbro version cause you could dismantle the orange tower structure and use the base as a vehicle.
I wish I still had the 6 Million dollar man crystal radio backpack.
I also had some knock off GI Joes but could never confirm if they were Fighting Yank or other.
I could list more but since I've been collecting. I have recovered many lost toys

Interesting question. Most toys that I had and loved as a kid, I replaced as an adult. And yet many were sold off again. Perhaps having the same toys twice in a lifetime was enough... but just maybe they'll come around a third time? Nostalgia works in funny ways.
