This is strange.  Tinker Toys, Lincoln Logs, Erector Set?  Were those
the only toys available back then? I had those too  : )  Actually, I
also had a remote control tank (well, cabled remote) one Christmas
that was pretty unforgettable. Think you're right about those Legos
though, like miniaturized baby blocks I believe I used to think of
them.  Almost a backward step in playtime.  My Tinker Toys had
propellers and wheels and plenty of imagination to go with (thank God
for that!).
