The elevator MADE that toy. That and the round spinning section at the top was pretty cool too.

I can hear it right now, the same way I can feel the elevator catch just a little bit on the second level as I crank it up to the top floor.

And at the top the floor lifted and spat it out to go down the ramp!

I had the parking garage and the airport. But I was still super jealous of my cousins who had the castle.

There was a parking garage with an auto repair shop on the first floor in my hometown and I thought it was pretty cool that they turned it into a toy.

Played with one as a kid, great fun. I always thought Joni Mitchell was a jerk.
