in the 70s, Toys of the Seventies

Commentor Name:	Brad
Comments left:	I had roughly 75 of the planes. Started collecting around 1972 and kept going right up to 1980. Used to see them at Thornberry's Toys (no longer in busness) and when traveling w/Dad, at Nickerson Farm restaurant. Prices by late 70's were about 1.50 to 1.99. Nickerson Farms all had huge turnstyles with these planes, and every time i went, would buy at least one with my lawnmowing money. Kept them right up through college and sadly, in grad school, when i moved from an old rental house, the new tenant came in early and hauled some stuff i intended to come back and finish up, to the dump. I even had an old Honda 125 disassembled that he threw away! The bastard! Wish i had them, still: ford tristar, B25, B24, B17, B29, B36, F4F, B58, P38, P47, P40, P51, F4U, F6F, Hindenberg, Wright Bros, BeeGee racer, Bell Huey, Sikorsky, Jap Zero, Dauntless Dive Bomber, A4F, F105, etc. etc. Can't recall some of the german war planes, but had those too.
