I'll sell one to JD at half-price. LOL! Or, if I get a truckload of the things, and they do sell for $10k, maybe I'll just give her one. Oh, and, no, people don't give bloggers stuff these days. Unless you have thousands of readers and companies send you stuff so you'll take a picture of it and post it.

I think one of my friends in grade school had a Thingmaker, or at least one of its various incarnations. I think I had (and probably still have in a box somewhere) a Spirograph. I should hunt it down sometime, make some spirographs and post them. You know, you can't even find pictures of Barbie's Carousel Kitchen online! Time to hit garage sales? I've found discussions around them but only one person seems to still own one (as of 2006). I'm thinking if you can find a stockload of those somewhere, you may have a small fortune on your hands.

HA - so far the mission has failed. There’s things I still want too- but everyone knows that cause I advertise it on my blog hoping someone will just give me the stuff.

There are toys from my past I would love to own today: specifically Barbie's Carousel Kitchen, Lite Brite, Thingmaker, and Spirograph. Spirograph and Lite Brite are easy to find, but the other two not so much. The Thingmaker is on ebay for about $100 and I can't find the Barbie Kitchen anywhere. Sigh. Nostalgia. It's a good thing.
