I'm not exactly sure what magnet things you're referring to, but I had fourteen oddly shaped magnets stuck to the top of my locker during my six years in an elementary school. They were super strong too, the kind where you hurt your fingers trying to pull them off.

The ones I’m thinking of were smooth and black, shaped sort of like eggs, but pointier. They were coated in rubber, so they rattled off each other when you brought them together. They came in packs of two.

My favorite childhood toy was, and still is, my 80s pound puppy. For being so old he is in great shape. He's missing his collar and some of the paint on the eyes is rubbed off, but surprisingly he has never had a hole and his fluff is still...er...fluffy (you know old stuffed animals the fluff kinda clumps and compresses together?). He has been through so much. Sickness, being vomited on, washed repeatedly. I dont know what I'd do if anything happened to him

Oidz?
I remember they had an extremely brief tenure in fashion here, though didn't last as long as some of the other trends.

Those are way better than the 2003 ones!

I prefered the TMNT cartoon from the 80s, instead of the 2003 one. It got so... argh, I just can't explain. :confus:

Yes, that’s what most of them were called, though there were a few knock-off brands as well.

Dark? Hehe yeah...

I grew up with the TMNT cartoons from the 80s but I also enjoyed the 2003 series. Just hope that the 2012 one will be good.

Ty the something?
I rarely knew him from the start.
There was an ad comparing him to other like-so mascots, who all were in a recovery ward, Sonic, Crash and Spyro.
That's all I remember, and frankly, that's all I want to.

I've only played Ty 2. And the controls were god awful. Someone didnt know how to program the game to be played with pressure sensitive controllers...which is like half of all PS2 controllers. Really, I had to mash that button down hard to get it to register. This is the only game that did it so I know it wasnt my controller.

Thats my experience with Ty. Although that figure is kinda cool looking

I don't think you can get it anymore. Maybe it was for a Collector's edition of Ty The Tasmanian Tiger 3: Night Of The Quinkan, or maybe they used to sell it when people actually played his games.
I've finished Ty 1, still trying to finish Ty 2, and haven't got Ty 3.

A tiger with red shorts and dual-boomerangs? What will they think of next? An Italian plumber from Brooklyn that wears blue and red suspenders and throws fireballs?

Oh wait.

I used to dream Mario was a blockbuster movie-type thing when I was little. They were really realistic and cool dreams.

At least they didn't think up a guy with no limbs and... haha, it would be ridiculous if he could I don' know, FLY with his hair! LMAO! That would be retarded. Oh oh oh and he should SHOOT HIS FIST at bad guys! BWAHAHAHA! What would suck even more was if they got some largely unknown or uncommon Australian animal and he would have some funny attack, like um... spinning!

Oh, please take a moment.
