in the 70s, Toys of the Seventies

Comments left:	I'm not affiliated, but the Flickr user "wishbook" has amazing photos of each page of many Sears and Montgomery Ward Christmas wishbooks that can help people find many toys from the 70s and 80s. Specifically, for a couple of people above, the 1977 Sears Wish Book, page 489, shows the "Rough n Ready Push-Button Rescue Center" (by Tomy in the US, and sole as a "Rescue Centre" by Palitoy / Discovery Time in the UK). Page 489 also shows the "Small Mall Push-Button Shopping Center". Both have rolling people with steel or metal ball bearings on the bottom. If you are looking for the Rescue Center, watch out for the red support between the first and second floors, and the flag, both of which are often missing. Also watch out for the helicopter; it often has broken propellers, and ask whether or not its push-button still works. Happy searching!
