What was everyone's Ralphie / Christmas Story/ BEST Christmas gift ever??

May 26, 2020 09:55AM
The Evel Knievel toy post made me think of this. I had three... #3 The G.I. Joe Pilot / Parachute suit kit. It was an orange Pilot suit with a parachute.......... #2 would be a tie. BOTH were trains. One was a really cool, ALL METAL, wind up train I got when I was 4 or 5. The other was my first Tyco set. A very basic circle layout that I got on Christmas 1973. I STILL have all the track and three cars, including the Caboose. And #1.... THE MIGHTY TONKA CRANE!!!! I got my first on Christmas 1972. Wore that out and then got another in 1974. I loved that so much, around 20 years ago, my Mom bought me a small Hallmark Tonka Crane Christmas ornament. And about 4 years ago, with a nudge on here from SST, this grown man bought a 1972 vintage Tonka crane on Ebay!
