Best Christmas gift you got as a kid?

1982- Atari 5200

Or

When I was 11 got a Dyno GT after I had rocked a Wal-Mary bike for several years. Talk about a come up.

You've sure given back. Good people right here ^^^^^


Back on topic.... An HO Slot car set (Was setup for me on a piece of plywood. Figure eights, bridges, straightaways...) and some Lincoln Logs were some good memories.

When I was 10 or so I got one of those Rambo knives that had a compass which detached from the bottom and you could store fishing line and matches in it. I played in the mountains for the next year or so pretending to be him.

Looked something like this:

Bike = Freedom

AM-FM Cassette = I could listen to every UK game from then on...and I did if it wasn't on TV. I purchased my own 10" Black & White TV for the same reason.

The Atari, or the Evel Knieval bike. It's a toss up. My Brother In Law ordered a 1979 Sears Christmas Catalogue off of EBay. We looked at it Christmas Eve. Talking about bringing back memories! I miss those days.
 
Mainly because I knew that my parents had made a sacrifice to buy them for me.

Had all the colors. That one, blue and black, black and gray. Know a guy who bought 2 pairs each back in the day. Wore one and kept the other in the box. Yeah, he made a lot of money.
 
A Johnny Reb Civil War cannon that actuall fired cannon balls about 30 feet. Coolest thing ever.
