One of the things out of many would have to be the Transit police van complete with cones & police road signs in the back. I had one but no idea what happened to it

An exploding army bridge.....had one as a kid ....hit a lever and it would break in half...seems like the springs could be used on a car, they were so strong.....i'de like one just to prove they did exist....never seen one since.

We had a department store chain called Montgomery Ward and I remember seeing a stack of those Road King sets in the toy department. I must have been eleven or twelve-years-old but I remember it like it was yesterday.

Another one for the list. This Hot Wheels double decker bus was made in France in the early 1980s and was only sold in Europe. This one just sold on eBay where they rarely turn up.

Even in the '90s I remember an original Kenner Millenium Falcon could still be had at charity shops for £3 ($5) and figures could be found at any yard sale for 15p (25 cents).
