"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776Comment

To be fair, it was state of the art in children's entertainment at the time.Originally posted by fitzwell View PostComment

My boy is 2.5 and loves trucks, trains, and trailers. We just picked up two trucks like this one. ~24" long, heavy duty axles, all pressed/bent steel. Heavy duty 80's kind of shit.
The one we got looks damn near brand new, we also got a white COE in Pillsbury livery.
I've also recently dug out all my old lego for him and his sister to play with.G'Day MateComment

Nice, you have the classic Airport, Shuttle launch, original exxon gas station (before Octan was introduced) and a few other rare ones. That's a nice collection there.
I just rebuilt my Brothers 1985 Fire Station, he's letting his 4 year old son have it. His daughter (my neice) LOVES playing legos every time she comes over to the house. Particularly she steals all the pirate gold and puts it in an airplane and escapes the police jets....

Fortunately, Legos are just one of a few childhood toys I saved. I passed them on to my son a couple of years ago and he has since amassed more pieces then I could have ever imagined at that age. Not long ago, I decided to replicate one of my old sets with him and it spiraled out of control. A very long time passed before he was willing to disassemble it and reuse the parts.
These are the only photos my wife took of it. It had functional rack and pinion steering and adjustable bucket seats. The limited slip differential was connected to a variable speed transmission that rotated the 4 pot engine assembly. You might be able to spot the t-handle shifter in the center console also. This was constructed over the course of several evenings as time allowed. It was cool to see him so enthusiastic about it as soon as I arrived home from work. Which one of us had the most fun is still up for debate.

Very cool! You two might enjoy this set.Originally posted by SuperCPA View Post
I built it a couple of weeks ago and it's pretty fun. Pistons move, steering controls and a neat-o convertible top mechanic.
