A microscope set I received as a Christmas present when I was seven or eight. I still have it.
And HO slot cars.

I forgot about slot cars! I had a Tyco set, and I loved it.
 My favourite car was a '32 Ford; it wouldn't corner, but it sure looked cool.I also had some vintage '60's slot cars from my Uncle, but I couldn't find a power supply to run them when I was a kid. I wish I had kept them.

I especially enjoyed my 200x refractor telescopic I got for Christmas; I think it cost $10 at the time. I used that telescope for many years.
Prior to that I also liked my Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots.

I'd never heard of Legos until I had kids, learned quickly to wear shoes at all times. I did have an Erector Set, Tinker Toys, and Lincoln Logs.
