"I remember one of my favorites was a Man from Uncle transistor radio, at least it looked like one, which popped out a barrel, stock and grip when you pressed a button. Too cool!"

Wow... such memories. I had one of those and it was my favorite toy ever. The handle of the "radio" became a scope. I played with it forever.

I also had a briefcase thingie that had a gun inside. If I remember right it also had a camera (it may have even worked with the right film). When closed you could push one button and take a picture or push another and it would shoot actual plastic bullets. I shot it once in the house and for a long time we couldn't find the bullet. One day we found it... imbedded in the wall. It actually shot that hard.

Memories... sigh.

I believe I had the same briefcase. You could also slip caps into it in such a way that if it was opened incorrectly they would pop.

I've still got mine....somewhere in the attic at Mama's!

Those were great memories. Walkie-talkies were another of my favorites. I had many great spy missions on my Schwinn Orange Krate...not exactly a stealth vehicle :)
