arnobiz Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Holeee Crap! I'd better win. That took me forever! Aaron Lol, same here! But the lesson was worth the pain not to mention the nostalgia for some of these toys :) Arnaud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Very true. Having been born in 1981, I was surprised at how many of these toys I'd heard of, but had never had myself, not realizing they were so popular. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niart17 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Answers Submitted either JUST in time according to my Cell Phone, or 1 minute late if you go by the computer clock. SO hopefully the teacher is in a good mood and will let the JUST IN TIME homework slide! :( Intersting facts I learned in this one. Still can't believe there was a toy quiz and not one mention of models... :o Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
majortomski Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 LATE! ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!! My first chance to check the list just now at LUNCH. Oh well a late launch is better than no launch. Besides the rest of you have at least two wrong answeres. T Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jay Chladek Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 It was an interesting trip down memory lane for me as I remember a few of the early ones on the list fondly (and others I am GLAD my family never had). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chorse6 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I'm waiting for the approved solution to find out the answers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

niart17 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Is it because two of them had questionable dates in the question? I noticed a minor descrepency on a couple of dates and sales numbers, but I think the jist of it was clear...we shall see. Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waco Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 YOUR TIME....SHE IS UP! I hope everybody enjoyed this little stroll down toy madness lane! Here are the answers: 1 Mr Potato Head 2 LEGO 3 Operation 4 Pong 5 Rubik's Cube 6 Cabbage Patch Dolls 7 Nintendo Game Boy (Enough of you submitted Sega Game Gear that I had to look it up...there's conflicting dates, so in the end, I accepted both answers) 8 Tickle Me Elmo 9 Buzz Lightyear 10 Zhu Zhu pets Yup, quite an A-list collection. The Zhu Zhu pets were the bane of my personal existence 3 years ago, as I tried to track some of these ridiculous little automated rodents down. Ugh. To this day, I'm sure the 3 hours they were played with on Christmas Day were sort of worth it...maybe. I think they're collecting dust in the basement somewhere, but at least I didn't pay $250 bucks on eBay! Lots of submissions tonight, but there can be only one!!! So, congratulations to CorsairMan!!! PM me your address please. Aaaaaaand....we're almost done folks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
