I think I had that Young Mechanics tool set.
OMG I think I did too! What a flashback!
Aw man, you got me in tears here. I freakin' OWNED that #3026 Armored Task Force on the "Deluxe Playsets" page, and it was one of my favorite toys as a kid. I commented on an earlier post about that triangular missile launcher thing…this was the playset it was from after all.
I was totally aware of comparative scales and proportions at a very early age, which is why I latched on to this playset right away. The tanks and vehicles were in direct proportion to the soldiers, unlike the typical "green army men" set where the tanks were miniscule in comparison to their personnel.
It's simply amazing that you uncover these long-lost memories for so many of us (including yourself, I'm sure). It's like, bittersweet–great to see 'em online but wishing I still had those @#$(*#$ things. Please keep me from searching on Ebay. Too late.
