I’m trying to find the name of an 80s “destruction” toy?
I recall a “construction” set I had as a boy in the mid- to late 80s, perhaps the very early 90s. Essentially you built up a building out of plastic I-beams, support columns, and foundation “feet,” then hung little panels here and there to simulate the walls and windows. Finally, you’d rig the bottom parts up with a pneumatic “thing” (that’s where my memory is foggy), and hit a plunger. Thus, you’d blow up the building–that was the whole point of the set. I can recall several different sets, all around the same theme. One of them might have been a radio tower or something–I can remember red and white transmission towers that you’d place on top. I can’t remember the name of this toy, and it’s driving me up the wall!
Follow up: It’s not an Erector Set–mine was all plastic and the point was to blow stuff up. And I’ve looked at inthe80s.com, but I didn’t see it there (unless I missed it).
I found the link below…maybe this is an updated version of the toy you remember??
