I was more partial to KB Toys, they had model rocket kits we could build and launch into the sky with controlled explosive charges.

@NativePortlander1970 explosive charges?
@Mellowgirl They're cylindrical tubes filled with powder propellant that shot them into the sky...[media=https://youtu.be/uS34VOvSeWI]

@NativePortlander1970 I see, I'm assuming the packet said use under adult supervision.
Could you imagine a toy like that now. 😥😨

@Mellowgirl I must have shot off about 25 rockets I built from kits repeatedly, it was a fun hobby back in the day. I remember one guy sprayed engine starter fluid in the tube and plastic hollow nose cone of one of his rockets and when the charge to expell the parachute ignited, BOOM, he got arrested for it, the city disbanded our club over it.
