game: Ideal toys--the game is Up Set. I have one but can't recall how it's played. I think maybe you throw bean bags in each spot and then try to hit the button to make them shoot themselves out? But was there a rubber band or something on the bottom for tension? I'm trying to figure it out but it seems there may be something missing? For there is no tension to make the buttons throw something out but obviously that appears how the game is played. I tried an internet search and I am not coming up with any results.

hand held pocket game (series) 1970's to early 1980's: Hi, I used to have a collection (70's to early 80's) of some handheld plastic pocket games. They were not electronic and had several different varieties. I believe they were about 3"X 5"X 1/2"(thick).

I can't remember the other ones. Does this sound like anything you've heard of? I miss the days of non electronic games. Thanx for your help.Priscilla; Reply

popeye and Olive oil minature toy on wheels: I played with this little toy some 30 years ago at my grandmothers and i would love to find another one just like it for the memories, but I was no older than 10 when I last saw it so my memory is little about it. My grandmother promised when I got older she would give it to me but it was long ago lost and she has passed away and so now I am just hopeing some day I will run across one again.

PUZZLE - YELLOW CUBE: I remember in the early 90's playing with a yellow cube that had different colored pieces that fit in around it. I think there were 6 or so pieces and you had to match the right colored key with the piece to get it out of the cube. Once you had the pieces out, you could put them together in the top of the cube to make a square. I have no clue who makes it and have never seen another one since I lost that one. Any ideas what it may be called?; Reply
Race track: When I was little in late 70's early 80's there was a plastic race track that had colored plastic race cars with a small steel marble in it and the cars would race to the bottom I believe.

Ride on horse: Hi. I am looking for information on a toy that I got in the mid 70's. My grandmother bought it from FAO Shwartz. It is a grey horse with white mane and tail and has 4 wheels covered by hooves. The horse has nice stuffed animal fur that covers the body but also disguises the mechanical body which the rider could move by standing up and down on the bars. I have never seen a toy quite as good to this day. The only comparison is Hasbro's Butterscotch, even still, the rider cannot ride across the floor on it. I still have this horse and have passed it down to my niece and am getting ready to give it to my children. At that, "lollipop" is so such a special toy, she is in excellent condition and has been stored extra carefully. I would appreciate any information. Thank you.; Reply

Snake head playset/base?: I remember having this ,playset i guess, around the mid-80's and noone knows what i'm talking about. It was a small "base" of sorts. It was rouns and could be opened up. There was a Snake head on the front that was taller than the base. On the inside was a button you could push that would send the head of the snake roolling across the floor like an escape pod of some sort. If i remember corectly it was brown and orange. And i'm pretty sure that my G.I. Joes were to big for it. Any help would be great. I've been looking for a picture of this thing for about 4 days and i'm running out of ideas to search for it. Thanks again. -Dan; Reply

spring boing yellow stuffed caveman: As a gift I got a caveman like stuffed yellow creature. It kind of looks like a "Fraggle Rock" creature I think. It is stuffed, yellow fabric. It has bulging plastic eyes and a red felt tongue. It has a spring where the body is supposed to be located. It has a string on top of its head and a handle at the end, where you grip it and use it to make it spring up and down. It makes a loud "boing" nosie when you do this. It is about 8 inches high when it sits and about 8 inches across from its back to its extended legs. Anyway I love it and the spring broke. I got it in about 2004. My friend may have gotten it from a hospital gift shop here in the US or possibly Australia where she lived. There are some tags on it. A strip sewn in cloth like or plastic tag reads "Made in China" and other side reads"PMS" with "SS13 1st UK" below, then "CE". It also has warnings about children under 3 years. The paper tag that is attached by a plastic thread thing reads on the reverse "CE" "Item no. 047/106" a bar code and below it "5 022896471066" . The front of the circular tag shows a photo of item in action and reads "spring" Boing" "Bounce me to boing me". I have tried many searches with combinations of the info on the tags. Can you help me locate a place I can buy it or where it was made? I 'm not even sure if it is called "Boing" Thanks alot; Reply
Stuffed Animal - Giant Turtle: In the mid 90s, My dad bought me a gigantic stuffed turtle that was almost exactly $100 for my birthday from Toys R Us. It was about 4ft. long, stuffed with fluffy polyester, and pea-green with a brown-marble-colored shell. It also had a very plain face - Two black beady eyes and just a hint of a black string for the mouth. I had to give this toy up at a garage sale when I was about 14, but now I have been trying to find it all over the internet and I can't. It would mean a lot to me if I could find another just like it so I can bring it home. None of the other huge turtles can compare!; Reply
Stuffed animal - Lamb: My husband was given a lamb when he was born in 1979 from a gift store in a hospital in Wisconsin. My daughter was given this lamb for her first birthday in 2009 as a present and has since then adopted it as here "lovey". The lamb is now 30 years old, about ready to fall apart, and I need to find a replacement ASAP! The body is white with light pink to peach feet. The ears are white with pink on the inside. The lamb's face has a pink patch for the nose and mouth area with a black nose stitched on in a triangle pattern. The eyes are orangish to red looking glass button/bead. There are no other markings on the lamb. The lamb is about 10 inches from head to tail and his head isn't facing straight but sewn off to one side, so if you were to lay it down on the ground the head would still look at you. If you have any info please let me know! Thanks!; Reply
Stuffed Toy - Bear: I am trying to find a bear that my daughter has. I was bought between 2002-2005. It is a white bear that is wearing a red nightcap (the band that goes around the head is green). It is laying down and its eyes are closed. It is possibly a christmas or holiday decorative bear. It was holding a blanket (square piece of material about 6 inches by 6 1/2 inches) that is green with a red square in the middle with a sown christmas holly. It is a stuffed bear but is also stuffed with bean. Can provide a picture. Need a new one, the one we have is in poor condition and it is my daughters security toy. She carries it around constantly, never goes anywhere without it, and sleeps with it. In need of information.; Reply

Vintage table games: Hi, I've been looking for a certain toy I had when I was a child. It's a toy from around mid 80s to early 90s. I do not have a name, nor a manufacturer name. I dont have any pictures as well. All I have is a vivid memory of the toy. The toy's description is that it is in the form of a box, with the top and sides are of clear plastic material, with a base. at the sides, there are buttons and controls, which controls parts in the box. Its basically like a maze type game, where you use the controls at the side to move certain parts in the maze, to move a metal ball from a starting point to a finishing point. Its battery operated as some parts of the maze are moving mechanically, with certain magnets on some moving parts that would at times, either cause the metal ball to fall off track, or to bring it to another part of the maze. At one of the obstacles is 2 metal rods, that u can use the side controls to open it wide or close it narrow, the metal ball will fall inbetween the metal rods, and u are to open the rods wider to allow the ball to roll across yet you cant open too wide, or else the ball will fall, and you will have to start from the beginning again. I really want to find this amazing toy again after all these years. I've even tried asking my Aunt who bought it for me as a Christmas Present back in those days. But she too cant remember the name, and manufacturer, and as the same as me, she can only remember me playing and going through the obstacles-packed maze controling the side controls moving the metal ball in the box. I'm hoping you might have some idea of what toy I am talking about here, and give me some clues or leads as to carry on in-search for this toy.Thanks!Don; Reply
