I had many of these. I also remember Tinker Toys and those little army figures with a parachute attached by strings. And climbing the tv antenna to let them go.

Yes - adding the parachute to the army men was a good move. Matt - Jarts were pretty cool - assuming you did not stab anyone in the heart with them!
