Lost them, mostly. The remaining few ended up mixed in with the tinker toys and legos.

I remember ๐ณ
Made a little cabin
Lincoln Logs? I played with them at my dad's parent's house. Literally minutes of fun.
Grew up in 70s, these were years of fun for me.
Between my Lincoln logs, army men, Star Wars figures, legos and matchbox cars these were great shelters and collaborative creative play heaven!
Next to Tinkertoy, these were my favorite.
I never liked Legos.
EDIT: I just noticed "Spalding" on the can. And, the can is round, so it's a repurposed tennis ball can. I wonder how a sporting goods manufacturer came to make and sell Tinkertoy.
Spalding owned TinkerToys

Its Mickey7 so I assume he's insinuating he shoved them up his ass.
LOL. Actually you build little cabins with them which i did as a kid
Why do you assume it was his own ass?
Made a tiny cabin with a vast veranda
Sorry, are you accusing me of something?
You know what you did.
i solved that motherfucker
Used to build towers, set up army men, then build catapults and launch the little single logs into the front lines to decimate morale and break up infantry charges...cavalry was too fast to hit.
It eventually devolved into catapulting pieces into siblings however...
Launched them out of a Nerf Bazooka at my cousins
Moved them aside to get to the Lego
Quirked up squares mostly
These and Erector Sets were top toys when I was a kid.
