Great toys that all the other kids had. I remember them well.

The playskool “familiar places” line was so much better. What kid didn’t want to play with a tiny McDonald’s, Texaco Station, or Holiday Inn?

But, since the figures were square instead of round, they weren’t as fun to swallow.

Wow, wow, wow. This makes me want to cry. The crap they make now is plastic and not near as sturdy as this stuff was. Remember the school that had the real bell?

I had the Little People’s farm and garage so this bring back memories. I would have loved the castle.

My sister and I shared the McDonald’s in the “familiar places” line.

I had, and loved, that garage, but the Sesame Street set was of course my favorite. The odd thing is that I didn’t even LIKE cars, but for some reason that garage had so much play value I couldn’t HELP but play the heck out of it.

Our church had the castle and that thing rocked! The trapdoor was so well done. They packed all sorts of neat features into that toy.

My castle!!! That was a sturdy set. We got mine second hand, and then we handed it down to my 2 cousins. The newer castle that they made about 10 years ago had soft, cheap plastic that wouldn’t survive one child, let alone 4.

I had a bunch of those sets as a kid….would you believe they went through myself, my two sisters, my two kids, and now my niece & nephew are playing with them and they are STILL in excellent condition! NOT ONE thing has broken in all 38 years of play and they are STILL going strong. You should take a look at what some of those sets sell for over on eBay now! They were quite the investment 🙂

Awesome stuff. Thought about you when I found this old FP full spread ad dated 1973; it was buried in a box of my old artwork and schoolwork that my parents collected from about '77-'79.
Enjoy.
