    Gawd, I had three KFC buckets full of them and the plastic tents, jeeps, and tanks, too. I was the envy of the Saturday morning wars when I acquired a bag of about 50 German plastic soldiers molded in gray.

    Rubber band, hell. Maybe inside. We would spend hours on Saturday setting up elaborate outdoor tenches, forts, and set up all the soldiers and then throw gravel and dirt clods at them. Later we upgraded to BB guns and firecrackers.

    Probably not. The toy bow and arrows with the rubber suction cups were popular, too. Can't play cowboy without indians.

    Do they still sell yo-yo's? I haven't seen one in years.

    I can see why they wouldn't want the bow and arrow. Those things could easily put somebody's eye out when the rubber cup came off of the arrow. The rest is all PC crap

    Of course they do. I still have my original Duncan butterfly yo-yo.

    I had forgotten about cap guns. I always liked the smell after they got fired.

    I love the smell of caps in the morning. Smells like Victory

    I was about to type that minus the victory.

    I do too. Like the smell of gunpowder.
