Red Rocker: Hey! He was talking to me!

I had big wheel just like this one, back in 1978. was just 5 years old. Unfortunately, about 3 years later, someone stole it from my front yard.

I had one of those, the best childhood memories of that thing

6:17 1975

Wow, those teachers and priests must have been some unhappy people. Guess they've never hugged a teddy bear.

Your channel is such a gem! I hope your work (on the channel and eveywhere else) soon gets the recognition it deserves!

I've seen ads that say that a Big Wheel has a safer center of gravity and safer turns than a traditional tricycle.

Thx for having all these great toys displayed on youtube 🫶🍻🫶

Well produced video with great content. I also learned something from the folks in the comments. I did not know that Germans placed small things like villages under the tree and steam powered trains under their trees. Very interesting.

I would've loved an adult sized Big Wheel!

Just got this game and beat my partner EVERY TIME (I was RED)

Yo vi que en la pantalla del video yo vi que el señor cara de papa del año 1983 abrazó un señor cara de papa de 1952😮😮😮😮😂😂😂

This brings me to tears!! I love it.

Potato head

Man I’d like to eat some pez right about now.

Thank you, Merle, for having the courage in your convictions. RIP.

I am curious how you found out all of this info? I am thinking of making a doc about Uno. Would you be able to connect with me?

I collect Candy Land merchandise. Now I have to keep an eye out for a version with the boy with the brace. How interesting!

I collect, I have around 1000.

Uno is the best card game ever invented

Excellent presentation Tim. I'm on my fourth viewing.

The Train

Lifelong fan, glad to hear this story- had no idea. Looking for players who like to grab multiple blocks with one hand and looking for alternative rules, tokens, or rising pressures (horse: or high value play demanding medium follow-up) to help influence win state strategy. Is there an alt. Jenga community?

Just bought a big wheel . To big to ride it but had to have it when I saw . It My most beloved bike out of all my bikes.

One very smart move that had Lionel bouncing back fast after World War 2 was their decision to keep the R&D department working full-steam-ahead even while production had been shut down. At the war's end they had a large well of new products ready to launch, leaning heavily on action features like the operating cars and scenery.

I love playing this game (the original 1960 version) as it is so much fun and has a lot of choices to make. Great channel here ❤️

hi seize the play

I still have my father's 1931 Lionel 262 engine and cars that my grandfather bought for him. Here in the Mid-Atlantic, we had a large German population. They brought the custom of putting decorations- Nativity Scenes, houses, barns, metal figures and animals - under the Christmas Tree. Note where Lionel was located, so soon Lionel Trains began appearing under the trees here along with the traditional Christmas scenes...

Outstanding video

I bought Slinky toys for my nieces and nephews this year for Christmas presents. While looking at videos for how to make it walk down stairs I came upon this very cool historic video about the inventor and his wife. Thanks for the video and glad it's still made in Pennsylvania USA!

I lionel and i have hogwarts express and i have the lionel battery power train from learning curves and imaginarium. I want lionel super chief, gs4 daylight and acela

Imagine being fined $110 (todays money) for reckless bicycle riding

Have three Lionel Trains. Also a Lionel Battery Operated Polar Express. Like them for Christmas.

Well made good video. Only correction is that in 1957 it was the H.O. (Half O) sized trains which Lionel introduced into it's line-up which were smaller and cheaper than the larger O-gauge trains. Lionel had the patent for Super-O track way before but chose to NOT introduce it during the early 1950s as sales were still very good. As sales declined during the decade, the head honcho's wanted to try & increase sales. One tactic was the Super-O track which looked more realistic, for the top-end trains. At the other end of the product line, Lionel made the plastic AAR truck on it's cars along with the H.O. trains. None of these would actually "save" the day as Lionel later went bankrupt anyways. There is a cult-collector following of Super-O track today.

I’m on a board game and card game history binge. Love me some Uno.

Thank you, Tim! You are extraordinary!

Super O was not smaller. It was top of the line, meant to be more realistic. 027 was the smaller line.

I remembered this game.

I got one in 1974 , I was 6 ,was monumental moment as a kid that’s forever etched in my memory .

wow it never dawned on me that the game Operation inspired kids to enter the medical field and then not only that inspired a device that helps surgeons be better surgeons! I love that backstory of Blurt!

Thank you, Tim! You really pulled together a lot of great stories for this keynote! Incredible!

Fantastic advocacy talk. I hope it reaches those who need to hear it!!

Great speech, Tim! Thanks for posting it.

Thank you Tim, great speech.

I loved that Tim!!! Thank you so much for telling those stories.

What a good quality video, excellent work. Just a slight correction: it's been fairly conclusively proven that Lionels first rail product was the converse trolley, the electric express gondola being an afterthought and likely not even as a windows display, just an alternative product for the converse frame. The confusion appears to have arisen from an interview by jlc himself, asserting the Ingersoll shop display anecdote. Like a lot of things, especially in later years, jlc seems to have been extraordinarily reluctant to give praise or credit to anyone else. Hence his aversion to admitting his first product was powering another manufacturers product. This is all from some seriously indepth research done recently by Bruce Greenberg and others with early collections of pioneer Lionel products. I would've been quite happy watching twice as long, but you've rather remarkably crammed an immense amount of information, and time to focus on specific items, and yet in a completely unhurried pace. Genuinely very impressive

Great see the enthusiasm for this amazing game. I've just played Anthony Pratt in a new series for the History Channel celebrating this game loved by so many. 😀

Just saw the Barbie movie. Thank you so much for this background information and your usual historical context. We really enjoyed the movie---the humor was unexpected and wonderful as was the cultural commentary and thoughtful and creative portrayal of this toy icon.

Love everything like the costumes,the casting and so on but I hate the storyline and the ending of the movie!!!! It was awful on not my cup of tea!

WOW! What a well researched piece and super interesting! Thank you!
