You're right. The only one we've never owned is the Atari, but we owned Intellivision, Colecovision, and Nintendo.
It's a solid list of toys.

Got a Texaco Tanker in about 63 or 64 for Christmas as well. Took it to Storry Lake outside Las Vegas New Mexico where we lived at the time to float it the first time.
By the way, that was the area they filmed the original Red Dawn movie.
