I have a Fisher Price Roly Poly Chime Ball. I got it for Christmas in 1977 and it was the first toy I ever had

Neato (lol), thanks for sharing w-dog. It doesn't look much different from the current Fisher Price toys.
It doesn't look that different, but it was. Fisher Price toys back then were built tough. You could throw them at a wall, step on them and they would never break. With today's Fisher PRice toys, you don't even have to try, and you can break them easily ;D

A few board games(Battleship, Electronic Battleship, Clue, Sorry, Yahtzee, Triple Yahtzee, Word Yahtzee, Aggravation, Password, Hi-Q, Trouble, Knock Out, Carrier Strike, Mad, Othello, Risk, Concentration). Plus the original Atari 2600 console with games cartridges(Combat, Indy 500, Air-Sea Battle, Superman, Street Racer, Asteroids, Warlords, Football, Home Run, probably missed a couple). I have more game cartridges(29 in all) but they're post-1970's. I'm sure there's more stuff stored away around here that I've forgotten. Not really toys, but I have some built plastic model kits from the 70's that have survived nicely, also some unbuilt ones.

I have three original Hot Wheel Cars; all Red Line's too: The "Red Baron", "Ice T", and the "Paddy Wagon".
Also still have a set of Lawn Jarts, the Whamo wooden sling shot, a Daisy BB gun called the "Spitten Image", which is a Winchester model 94 look alike, and a bunch of small glass "Cats Eye" marbles. I wish I had all my old toys though, some of what I had are highly collectable now days.
Also on a collectable note, a friend recently garbage picked a Remco Toy Bazooka that is still in the box! These were big black toy guns that fired plastic missles. Highly valued among toy collectors.

Most of the original Star Wars line from Kenner.
Other than that, most of the things I have now were purchased in the last five years.

Booby Trap (with wooden peices-not the plastic you get now), Battleship, Trouble, Headache, Stratego, Monopoly. I think I still have one of my orginal Hot Wheels-but where? Who knows. My sister "inherited" all my dolls-since she collects them (and sells them but she has strict orders NOT to sell those that used to be ours). All my stuffed animals (and I have A LOT). I'm sure there is more but I can't think of them right now.
