I was 12 and paid $150 cash. I began working at 8. It took me 4 years to save the cash for the mini bike.

I have lots of mine, but all are packed up from moving. Got pics of a few. A total of maybe fifty h/o scale slot cars and several tracks. The first track is a 1970 Aurora four lone. The Darlington 500 I bought in 1975. Riverside I picked up at a yard sale. I also have a Hot Wheels Sizzlers (around 2000), a Hot Wheels AI and a Carrerra Go! but they aren't that old.
The Tyco train set is from Christmas 1975.

My little pistols. The white handled recolver was my Dad's. The silver one in the holster my Mom got me when I started first grade (1967). It fit onto a belt, and the loop would hold a pencil. I got stabbed a few times in the leg, so quit the pencil carry.

First pic is model cars I built in the 70's and 80's. Second is cereal and plastic cars from the sixties. Last are a couple I have had since 1968.

Sounds about right.

Once my brother and I hit 5-6 years old we graduated to sliding down the stairs in refrigerator boxes.
