Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing.

It is official folks. Toy companies have finally run out of ideas. You can almost see how the thought process for this one played out. A toy maker spends the day, pacing back and forth trying to come up with a new original idea. Upon arriving home he crosses the lawn when, WHAM, he steps upon Fido's lawn mine. Light bulb! What's next, "Hepatitis Harry Dolls?" I think it is high time we revisit some classic toys. Ones that were fun, yet taught us without knowing it. Like Erector Sets, (What engineer doesn't say they got their interest in design from an Erector Set?), Tonka Trucks, or a classic Baby Doll. And games like "Life", "Scattergories", or "Yahtzee" that taught family time was more then just people sharing the same house at the same time. And they did not need to be crass about it either. What are some of your favorite toys you would love to see come back?
