My favorites for a long time were my complete set of RRRUMBLERS that I painstakingly bought one a week at the local Toys R Us until I had them all.

My favorite was the Centurion :down:

Followed by the Boneshaker, Preying Menace, and Bold Eagle :down:

(I wish now that I hadn't given them away when I outgrew them)

My best friend at the time was an anal-retentive collector fiend who had a huge display case full of Matchbox cars that he never played with, each one displayed next to its original box. I remember he had the trailers and boats and campers that went along with the cars. I hope he kept them.

I remember going to a VW dealership in the 1967 with my parents when they were shopping for a bug. The salesman gave me a diecast (possibly Matchbox) VW bug and bus to keep, just for visiting. I was four years old and that made my life at the time. I wish car dealers would still do that today.
