Some of my toys, having reached obsolescence required a careful procedure to .. "inspect" .. their internal parts for wear and other interesting features.

Wow!!! This thread brings back so many memories, so many different toys it's hard to pick a favorite. I see things in posts and it's like I had that or my friend had that. Thanks for the memories.
I had that exact track, the Jackie Stewart 500. One of my favorite Christmas presents
Didn't go back through the entire thread, sorry if it is a repeat, but I wore the paint off the sides of my Hot Wheels on Thunder Shift 500.
Damn ! I had those too. Why didn't I think of that ?
I had the Sterling Moss version.

I may still have some of those vibrator motors somewhere.
I just made a post to another thread -- vintage mopars ads -- and just noticed something when I actually read it.
I did NOT have this set ... I remembered the pic because a neighbor or a cousin (not sure anymore) had it.

The Dodge kit (courtesy bluefury361 for recalling it). I never heard of it before today
I've seen the Plymouth racing set, but I had no idea that they made a Dodge set too.
I had a few of these. Plastic, about 3-4 inches square, you slide the tiles around to make the depictions.
Ya gotta be a certain age to have had these when popular (40+ yrs old now maybe?) Some with numbers, others like this.
This one? i remember well. Here's why.
Hours of frustration and NEVER got the bottom right puzzle. i was NEVER convinced any puzzle was impossible like bottom left was advertised -- mathematically how could it be? Its like saying Rubik's cube is impossible - math says its NOT -- its just complex.
Anyway, worked on my Popeye puzzle for a year (age 10-11 thereabouts) and then it .. uh .. "fell" and hit the wall. Flew right outta my hand!!
Seriously
.
All solutions were possible after after that -- Popeye standing on his head, Batman in place of Wimpy, etc..

This toy Krazy Kar, I loved but my big sister 6 years older tried to play with it and broke it. It was so much fun.
I broke my sister's...
I must a be a tad bit older .. my recollection of when this came out (early 70's?) is I was already way too big/heavy. I woulda been the "breaker" for sure.
