Love the group and it's given me inspiration to create a few new lenses on my favorite classic toys! Thanks! Posted June 17, 2007 |
I had some really GREAT toys and games groiwng up in the late sixties and seventies. The mid-1970's were probably my favorite times for games. Without a doubt, though, my all-time favorite toy was the Big Wheel.
