I can still smell the pages of the old Sears Wish Book... hours and hours every year at Christmas, my brother and I scouring the pages and clipping out the items we wanted. (And fighting over the pictures if you wanted what was on the front but somebody else wanted the picture on the reverse page. Happy times. :)

I loved looking at all of the football jerseys with the team name on the front, I liked how they were lined up in the catalog, I'd look at em for hours.

Couldn't wait for the catalog every year. I loved the toys I got but my favorite was a coat that was on the cover in 1974. I loved that coat. I sat on my neighbors roof and watched Evil Kenevil jump the Snake River canyon. He went up and straight down. Not many people I knew in our area wanted his toy.

I come from a family of 10 siblings and we were poor. As a kid I always thought we didn’t get much. By way of toys for us on Christmas Day. But by watching videos like these. I can see how wrong I was. We were so spoiled by my Mom. We had all the popular toys back then. My brothers had Stretch Armstrong, Evil Knievel, Hot Wheels with the racing tracks. We had the Atari 2600 and more. I didn’t have the popular dolls back then. Because I liked drawing and coloring. But one year my Mom bought me the “Velvet Doll.” Where you could push a button on her back and her hair would grow. I loved that doll and still have it today. Right along with all my colored pencils and gel pens. It’s funny though… I never realized just how fortunate we were. Until I started watching these videos. Those were some really great times! Thank you for helping me see. Just how blessed we really were. 😊

As 70s kids, these ring a HUGE bell with me, my brother, and my wife. Those Christmas catalogs DEMANDED hours of attentive detail, being sure to circle ALL the items we could possibly want (always into unreasonable 1000’s of dollars) just so Santa could know what we “might” want, with special asterisks next to those “important” items… However, Micronauts and Atari were my main thing, despite us having gotten EVERY single item on this list at some point during our growing up! Fantastic work, Nostalgic Nick! Wistful and Merry all at once!

During this Christmas season this brings back so many fond memories. Being from a large family and the middle child I unfortunately got the shaft at Christmas but one year, 1973 somehow I asked for and received the Evil Kenivel Action cycle and van! How excited I was! Total blast. Almost had it stolen when some friends and I searched for hill to crash it down and left the safety of our neighborhood. Only by the charity of some older teenager guys I retained it but was told to get our asses home and never come back! The joy of inner city live in the 70s!!!

[@archstanton3249]

I also was 10 around that time,being born in 66. These commercial advertisement take me back to my childhood instantly. I remember a particular transparent blue micronaut distracting me for long periods during school. I had many G.I. Joe’s with the fuzzy hair, which the neighbor kids broke. My brother and i had Stretch Armstrong and stretch monster. A multitude of others to include the Evel Knievel set up. I remember having crash up derby cars that came apart on impact. Planet of the Apes figures. Happy Days dolls. The AMX race tracks and cars. The Jonny West and the black Bart guys with their horses. I loved the action figures as a kid. We all thank you for the amazing upload and walk back through memory lane. To over share further, I still have dreams about recovering my long-lost toys. I do still have two vintage G.I. Joe’s from the late 60s. Other cool stuff from a time gone but remembered fondly by many. Long live the kid in us all and the joy a toy brings in imaginations smile.

Back in 70-71 for Christmas my favorite toy was fort apache Now the first one I got I'm not sure if it was called fort apache it was all sheet metal kinda like a suitcase and I always was cutting myself playing with it but it didn't stop me from playing with it. My second was the fort apache the following April for my birthday I think my mom got tired of me cutting myself 😄 over the years it disappeared but in 1992 on my way to the coast my sister and I stopped by a antique store and there was a fort apache I told my sister let's go check it out and I said you know what happens to be an old cereal box a little single serving ones that I used to cut open and use it like closests little doors would open, I told her if there's one of those in there wrapped in aluminum foil this is my old one my old fort Apache and sure enough it was there plus little cowboys and Indian that I used my mom's red finger nail polish on to paint blood like stains and there was. So I bought it and I still have it today True story

My friend had an evil kenivel stunt cycle that we played with for hours. We built jumps everywhere and made his chihuahua hide every time. What an amazing toy. You didn't need any extra track. Just an imagination and open space.

yeah thats awesome man

I remember having baby alive one Christmas, I loved that doll.The packs of food that came with her didn’t last and you couldn’t buy it in any toy shops I remember as well asking my mum and dad to get more food for her. And my dad brought packets of real baby food. Bringing back good memories.

[@PinkieJoJo]

Oh man that was the one toy that I got but never got. I finally got one and it didn’t work. She would never take in the food and after a few hours my parents packaged her back up and took her back. They didn’t replace her.

[@joejustus3169]

Oh yeah! EVEL KNIEVEL all the way.🇺🇸. If you were a boy growing up in the 70’s he was definitely on your hero list.

Even in the UK, we loved him, I had the stunt cycle. One of the best Christmas presents I ever got.

I was 11 in 1970 the coolest toys games and TV shows we're back from the late 60s through the 70s. Looking back in retrospect I'm so glad we didn't have the internet and social media bullshit, that does nothing but make kids Lose there imgergnery thinking. Thank you for the amazing video of bringing back great memories. My favorite toy was GI-joe

You should have included SSP Racers and Hot-wheels. Those were awesome. Gi-Joe with the Kung-Fu grip (1974) was also great. I think lawn-darts were beginning to be popular in the late 70's too.

I loved Clackers. They were 2 solid HARD lucite balls that came in colors. Each ball was attached to a cord. You would get the momentum going so they would hit each other and make a clacking noise.

I have a collection of 1970 dolls that i didn't have then. I have the1970's hair growing doll called Sheena. I have 12 tiny tears dolls. 2 1970 sindys. 6 early 1980 sindys. A red haired 1970's action doll and 3 later versions of the wombles. Also, i now have a mid 1970's lundby barton dolls house. In the mid 1970's these dolls houses were the top and most expensive type of dolls house on sale. My doll's house by lundby barton is called Carolines House. In the early 1970's my parents bought me a laughing doll called chuckles. Not the evil one that was in the horror film. My dolls and doll's house are on display so that i can enjoy looking at them
