VW Micro Bus & VW Beetle

VW Micro Bus
How many of you have toys like these that have been around since you were a little tot that wee wee in a pee pee pot?
Check out this photo of a 1958 or 1959 VW Micro Bus (Camper)
My wife saw this in the shop the other day and thought it would be a great addition to my VW collection.
I remember these as "dinky toys" or "corgy" or "hot wheels" years ago, it's great to see that they are not only still around on the road, but also in the toy boxes.

VW Beetle
Above is a post 1970 beetle toy that I got when I was about 3 years old. Needless to say that when this toy came out, the beetle was still manufactured and modern. Well as modern as it could be in the 70's.
Hard to beleive that the wheels are still on and it's not broken. This toy was passed to my brother, cousins and found it's way back to my doughter a few months ago.

 Let me know what cool stuff you have from back in the day, that is in today's toyboxes?
Let me know or email it to me. lejaun(at)ovi.com
