Hell Yes!! Toys and life back then was so awesome! Simple and fun. As a kid all we did was go to school, do our homework, do our chores and then play. On weekends we got up early and watched Saturday Morning cartoons, then went outside to play and toys and playgrounds were so much fun. It was fun being a kid back then. No iPhones, social media or internet.

I haven't thought about "Smash-Up Derby" in over 40 years, yet I found myself singing the theme song word-for-word. Weird and amazing!

"Kenner SSP Smaysh-up derby play set comes with Ever-thin yew see raht-chyer!" LOL I LOVE IT!

I was a kid during the 70s. I remember everyone wore stripes, dots, paisley. It was bizarre. As for the toys--I had all of the ones featured here. The SSPs were cool. So were the Evil Knievel dolls. You made Evil Knievel jump over stuff and watched him crash. The toys are so different now. Video games have replaced the hands-on stuff.

I want the Bing Bang Boing music as my ringtone.

40 years later and those toys still look cool!

Crash up Derby. Awesome toys. My oldest brother got them for Christmas, and I couldn't stop playing them. One of the most fun toys ever. I miss those days.

I'm sure that most of you are in your twenties at the very most.... I'm in my forties and this is when we used to play (gasp) outside!

Every once in a while over that "Smash, bang, crack 'em up! Put 'em back again!" would flicker into my head for a brief instant and I couldn't remember what it was from. Now I know! My brothers and I had a few of those when we were wee lads. Good memories.

I'm 53, and this did bring back some memories. I was 9 in '72, which is about the time these ads aired. For some reason, I don't remember "Bing Bang Boing", "Water Wiggle", or "Screech", but I'd forgotten about the whiz that the T-stick on SSP Racers made until now. Hadn't thought about that for decades, but now remember it like yesterday. I had a toy called "Wacky Wheel" (I no longer have it) that I got, I would say, in late '72 or early '73.

I remember Smash Up Derby. I was about 5 when I got it for my birthday and my dad put it together. Then he made one of the cars ram the wall and fall apart and I thought he broke it so I started crying lol. It was a lot of fun once I figured it out myself but the cars actually did get broken after a few days and couldn't be put back together again. Plus I lost some of the parts lol.

As a child of the 60's many of the toys encouraged you to use your imagination. You can still find some of the "retro" toys but you have to look for them.
-
The BING BANG BOING thing looks fun :)
-
I can still remember the dream (nightmare) I had on Christmas eve in 1972 about the Smash-Up Derby cars. I dreamed that when I opened the box and played with them, they were just the SSP type and not the Smash-Up type. The doors wouldn't pop off in my dream. I think I woke up crying. Amazing that dream has stayed with me all these years. You had to watch your fingers with these cars or they would get pinched with the little gears that the plastic pull rod went through. Ouch!

That water wiggle cost a relative of mine a tooth back in the day
-
Unlike the toys for children today...these toys involve human interaction
-
no joke some of this stuff looked more fun then the crap i grew up with in the early 90s...

“Hey, kids, would you like to see screen candy win you points?” “Sounds kinda boring!” “Well, what about ball bearings bouncing on rubber?” “Now you’re talking!”
