Wow! Yeah! I used to love the way the elevator rang each time you made a complete circle with the crank. Oh! And the way if you kept cranking the car lift past the point it was supposed to go, it would click and I found this amusing to no end for some reason! I had the farm, too, a rather large passenger airplane and a helicopter. I was thoroughly convinced the helicopter was supposed to go ontop of the car port lol.

My cousins & I called the figures “Billies” and my friend, who lived on the other side of town, called them “People Pals.” My brother & I had the house, farm, airport, parking garage, and eventually the village. Cool stuff we played with for hours at a time.

Aww! I had something like this except it was wooden, extremely heavy, and had no learning numbers on the top! Got it from my older brother along with a huge box of cars… I miss it!

I loved this one. It was before they made “Little People” fat and boring (and unswallowable by young children.)

What does this have to do with anything, other than that it is a product made by Fisher-Price?

I had this one… I loved moving that elevator up and down. The turntable on the top deck, though, seemed pretty useless. I mean, how many parking garages in real life have a car-sized turntable?

anyone remember the “city” play mat that you could carpet the livingroom floor with? You drove down the ramp or out of the lift and there were streets and parking lots. I put my McDonald’s & Hospital & car wash on there…
I still have powerful memories of the incredible smell of all that vinyl!

Hahahaha Yea ! I remember using any old car in the end.

Would be nice to have the complete set again, just for sentimental reasons oviously… ahem.

This has to be the best toy ever made.

It was the transition toy that progressed me onto the ‘harder’ stuff.

Little People in general WIN! i have a house, and a playground set. I used to put them in the merry go round and spin it as fast as I could to make them fly out.

Oh my god, I wanted one of these so bad.

20 years later, I find myself wondering what on earth I wanted a parking garage for, but OH MAN did I want one.

I had this thing too but I can’t remember ever having the matching cars. I simply used it with my matchbox cars.
When the elevator reached the top some ramp went up, the car rolled out and straight down that road thing…
IT SOUNDS LIKE SO MUCH FUN!
I HOPE MY PARENTS DIDN’T THROW IT AWAY!!!!!

I had it !! Wow, I wouldn’t have rememberer it if I hadn’t seen it here ! I loved to park the cars on the ground level *.*
Win definitely.

I have never, until just right now, wished that I had kids–just so I could buy this toy on eBay and have an actual REASON to do so.

This is like, “Make Gladys Cry” night–Weebles, FP garage, mention of the A-Frame house…SERIOUSLY making me miss my dad–and in fact, my whole childhood–right now.

OMFing WIN is right – this toy was so fun. I wish I still had it, I know my kids would love it too.

By: BrightEyes

Oh yes – Sesame Street! And the Circus Train (found a whole bunch of Little People memories here: http://www.thisoldtoy.com/L_FP_Set/T-People-original-LP.htm

Those were the days… when you had to make up your own stories as you played with the toys, instead of them telling you what to do!

I’ve always wanted these when I was little. But I never got it

OMF’ingWIN! I had a hand-me-down one from my cousins (early 80s, yikes). My friends and I played with that thing until the elevator stopped dinging.

By: Matt

I just found out that this was from the ’70s… I played with mine in the early ’90s.

By: Matt

Matt — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 23:24:49 +0000

Wow… I’ve forgotten about this thing. I had one of these as a kid and I played with it a lot. I used it for mostly my Hot Wheels though.

Holy Moley
That brought back memories.
According to mom, dad spent a long time setting this thing up for me during the night (Christmas eve) and I ended up playing with the box it came in
Once the box was taken from me, I had hours of fun putting the cars in the elevator

OMG I used to LOVE playing with this thing when I was a kid. I think that if I had access to one, even at age 30 you could fine me playing with it. I used to love pushing the cars up the ramp, especially the one that led to the second floor as the angle of the ramp was so steep. Who know, maybe this is what lead to my love of all things automotive. Also.. the little bump in the plastic on the elevator.. used to love pushing cars over it.

Airport was also pretty kick ass.

Little People sets were so awesome. I had several back in the day and every single one was win. I think I miss the Sesame Street set the most. There was a slide and a Little People figure of Roosevelt Franklin. How can you go wrong with Little People AND Roosevelt Franklin?

FisherPrice: Best. Toys. Ever.

And I knew there was a reason I kept them the day I saw what just the animals alone from the barn were going for at a local antique mall. We had the barn and the garage, and then there were Little People, back when they were small enough to be a choking hazard…good times.

My mom & dad still have ours. My (now 43) year old brother received it new. His now 5 year old daughter was playing with it on xmas. Aside from fading it’s like brand new. Toys made right back then. They last forever

excellent nostalgic win! I think this also had a gas pump with a little bell that kind of sounded like the real thing. Totally remember the elevator & ramp. Why was this so much fun??

I LOVED this. All the hospitals/local doctors/dentists in my region had this when I was a kid. It was /the/ thing to play with. Awesome!

I loved this one! My brothers and I also had the airplane and the house. I played with those forever. I think it’s still in my parents’ house. Their attic is a place where old things go to die. They save EVERYTHING and won’t let me go through it, lol.

Total epic win. My grandfolks had one that I played with when I was a kid. Man I loved it. Thanks for bringing back the good memories.

I think I had almost every Little People set except the ones OhOhOh mentioned. I even had Sesame Street.

Hmm… car garage, not so much. It was all about the PF castle for me: the dragon in his lair, the secret passageway in the tower, all the good stuff. We also had the A-Frame house; that kicked booty with sliding “glass” doors!

No wonder this gets mentioned here…I have a map for Counter-Strike: Source of this toy.

WAAAH! That was my favorite toy. EVER.

The predator had some pretty epic battles with the Terminator on that thing.

Buuuuut….. the thing that made this a TRUE win was the attached CAR WASH! WIIIN!

I loved this one. My version was slightly different from the one pictured. I wish I still had it…along with all my other fabulous toys from back in the day.

Still have mine. My two nieces play with it whenever they visit, and they absolutely love it.
