I remember building a huge roller coaster out of things that looked like star shaped sticks and round plastic gears that looked like wagon wheels. I can't remember the name but it was like Meccano, or mechanix. Maybe I'm misremembering that.
Any help would be so helpful! Thanks in advance!
Hi all, my daughter has been super in to blind bags and collectable surprise eggs and the like. Recently, she spent a small fortune (for a kid anyway), trying to get a bag she had never seen before from an arcade game, to no avail. She was heartbroken and keeps insisting to go back to the rest area (over an hour from our home) to try again. This is obviously not happening- but I would like to surprise her with the same bag for the holidays. Only problem is... I do not for the life of me remember what it was called. The kicker? She doesn't either. This has not changed her desire for it however (little kids are unreasonable- I know) and insists that this is all she wants and needs in the world. So I need help!
The bag was kind of long (about 7-8") and narrow (about 4-5" wide.)
It was pink
The toy inside was some kind of animal I think
and I am pretty sure that it had a name that ended in "itos" like the spanish suffix meant to describe something to be little/diminutive or endearing.
I thought maybe it was "axolotls" and I misread the L for an i- and my dyslexia did the rest- but these bags are not pink. SO PLEASE HELP ME! I don't know if you've ever had a neurodivergent 7-year old hyper-fixate on something but it's been problematic to say the least.
Thank you for your help!
Hey guys, I'm trying to remember the name of a toy from the 2000s that I saw on TV (possibly in a Cartoon Network commercial). It had a tower that released air, and you placed small balls (warriors) in it. The balls were customizable and could be equipped with weapons for dueling. The brand was probably Mattel or Hasbro. Does anyone remember the name of this toy?
Olá pessoal, estou tentando lembrar o nome de um brinquedo dos anos 2000 que eu vi na TV (talvez em uma propaganda do Cartoon Network). Ele tinha uma torre que soltava ar e você colocava bolinhas (guerreiros) nela. As bolinhas eram customizáveis, podendo ser equipadas com armas para lutar em duelos. A marca era provavelmente Mattel ou Hasbro. Alguém lembra o nome desse brinquedo?
I saw this toy I used to LOVE in this picture and I really would like to find it, can someone help me?
Hi, guys, anyone got a clue what a UK variant TMNT skateboard from 1990 might be worth? Decent shape, says 'Hero' instead of 'Ninja' as per the UK at the time.
Recently found these toys at my Walmart, just wondering if they are everywhere?
Hello I’m looking for a really big slinky for a Christmas gift. The biggest I can find is a 9” diameter slinky on Amazon. Anyone know of a bigger one? Thank you!
My friend found him today in a charity shop. No labels on him. Wondering if anyone has any information we want to find more! We love him
Does anyone know for sure if the Special Sesame Street edition of the Story Dream Machine will take other stories that aren't Sesame Street? My assumption is that it will, but I wanted to be sure.
Hi! I was going through some old things and would like to see if anyone could identify them. Somewhere around 2002-2007 they were bought
The first had a spinny dolphin on it when water was put in, and the second one water would filter through the colorful bowl things!
Thanks!
HELP! I wanna buy Distroller Neonate Nerlie Babies, but I can't find where to buy the medicine you need to help them get better if they get sick, i'm not gonna buy one of those babies if I can't take care of it, I can't find the fake medicine "Cure it All" anywhere! Do I need it to take care of my babies when they are sick, if so, where do I buy it?
My friend recently posted this on their story, I know it’s not technically under the toy category so apologies for that but just wanting to know the name of the blind box or the series of it. Thanks!
My kid is a huge Mario fan, and we recently acquired a few Mario character figurines which each came with a little plastic question mark block, maybe an inch or two across.
She says she has enough figurines, but really wants to get a bunch more question mark blocks or plain mario level bricks so she can build levels or stack them up and whatnot.
I don't know much about toy shopping, and I haven't been able to find a way to get more of these blocks without buying dozens of these figurines, which I don't want to do. Does anybody have advice on where to look?
Anybody know where the guys from YT channel “How Ridiculous “ got their original T-rex? I know they sell replicas on their site,but where did the original come from?
