ahh, i remember the frog changed it allit was mostly plastic so didn't appear good quality but in fact it was much more robust and lasted far far better. It spelt out the demise of the rough rider, the baja buggy and the Super Champ which I had. It was near the top of the range for its time but it was actually terribly flawed because all those brittle metal wishbones kepy craking into pieces at the slightest provocation.

that was great... although quite advanced IIRCi had this one...
i remember my cousin bought it for me from WHsmiths in richmond high street in 78 or '79
it was totally incredible at the time
The Stylophone; apparently quite collectable now but fecking annoying when my sister got one for Xmas back in the 70's
The space hopper is probably THE most useless toy ever and I suspect most were discarded and left outside by lunchtime on Xmas day

Lego Technic - I had a white american style truck. It sat on my window sill for many years, when I moved in my (now) wife I tried to convince her that it was a retro ornament but she was having none of it.
I think my mum ended up taking it all into the school that she worked at in the end.
