Re: The Toy You Really Wanted and Then...

I was heartbroken to realize that I was confined to straight lines and I'll always wonder how they faked those pictures back in the day.

BTW, the kids in TV toy commercials--then as now--appear to be having just too, too much fun with their toys.
I felt the same way. I could make the same things over and over but the commercials made you believe you could Etch a Sketch the Sistine Chapel if you wanted to, lol.
