I still remember getting in trouble in kindergarten because we were using the roof piece as a fulcrum like a see-saw to launch the small pieces across the room.

One more from my childhood.

 

Anyone remember these or there even more dangerous versions in the early 1980s?

Yeah, I had one of those.  Eventually moved up to one of these:

I got one for Christmas one year, and we launched it from Guy Mason park in DC, which is adjacent to the Naval Observatory, where the VP lives.  When the parachute deployed it floated down across the fence into the Naval Observatory.  My older sister simply climebed over the fence and retrieved the rocket.  The guards never even showed up.   I guess security wasn't as tight back in the '70s.
