Smash up derby (1970)

All of you are correct, I had a set of these cars and I also ended up losing all the pieces.

There wasn't a kid who had these who didn't lose all the pieces. But I wonder how much a collector would pay for a complete set?

For some reason I seem to remember a different version of this commercial. It went something like "it's buggum going against tough Tom, you ain't seen nothing yet, come on little buggum, you can get it done, smash, bang, crack 'em up, smash up derby is fun" Am I losing my mind?

this was my favorite toy

my 2nd fav toy.. needs adult supervision for little kids that might swallow parts.. love this toy though..

Everytime I see Smash Up Derby all I can think about is how my poor brother felt when once again Mum was right. He asked for one for Xmas all year and Mum kept saying he'd lose all the pieces. Eventually he wore her down and got it Xmas morning.
Guess what happened to all the pieces? *sigh*

I had one of these also.

I got one of these for Christmas after crying for it for months! After playing with it once in the yard, the lawnmower ate the pieces.

Now, this looks like fun. as a kid, I always liked taking cars and smashing them into each other.
