Did anything you got for 2 box tops and a quarter really live up to
the expectations?

The rubber band shooting handgun I got when I was 9 did. It was a
semi-automatic.

Yup we had them but it was old news. I still have an old book I found
in a book store in the 50s called "101 things a boy can make" and that
gun was one of them, made from wood, not plastic.
I had an old table top jig saw my grandfather gave me and I was
banging them out.

Rubber band guns weren't accurate enough. I was a pro 2-handed shooter,
hitting flies when they lit from across the room.
Had consistent rubber bands, from my paper route.
75 cents a box. Probably +500.
