Its definitely up there! As a 70's kid, the Evel Knievel with stunt bike was a huge part of my childhood!

However these would be strong contenders for me as well...

GOAT, though newer models built different. You did not want the original bike to run into or land on you. Probably wouldn’t be allowed as a toy for kids today.

Oooooooo Rock'em Sock'em was definitely a favorite. I think the blue guy's head eventually got to where it exploded more easily than the red dude's.

I never had the patience for Legos! However Lincoln Logs ruled! I used them to build garages for all my Hot Wheels cars!

Oh, and I would be remise if I didn't mention these! These helped shape my ongoing infatuation with video gaming!

Oh man... The mighty 2600 system. So simple yet revolutionized the world... Or at least my living room. Someday I plan on retracing the steps of all those E.T. cartridges buried in a California landfill somewhere!

And the electronic football game. Remember riding in the back of the bus with my coat over my head and arms for hours so I could see those red lines and the red *flashing* line of the man with the football.

I had this baseball game FWIW...

Kids would just junk these in 5 seconds these days...
