dbigtex56 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Santa, are you listening? I want one!This is the toy in question:IMPLOSION TOY IS NOW AVAILABLE! Implosionworld.com, in partnership with American Toy & Invention Corp., is pleased to announce the debut of the world's first "implosion-like" demolition toy.Advanced Engineering contains enough structural building elements to construct a 4-story building, as well as a rack-bar type plunger and a timing plate that allows for controlled collapse in any direction. The toy is recommended for ages 5 and over. (You will note from the photos below that the toy is completely re-usable, and contains no actual explosives of any kind).Also available as separately-ordered accessories are 144-piece Gothic Stone, Red Brick, or Modern Black Glass facades.Maybe this is a 'guy thing', but I think it's utterly cool, and would love to have had one when I was a kid. I did have a toy car which could be carefully assembled, and when its front bumper hit something it'd explode into pieces - to be reassembled, ad nauseum...There was a thread on the old forum which deserves to be revived - favorite architectural toys (Lincoln Logs, Legos, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 So you can build your own building and then destroy it? Sounds awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Why not just use lincoln logs and set up elaborate fireworks incased within the log joints. Ricco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20sGirl Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Maybe if we all get one for each developer/city official/etc. in Houston, they'll stop tearing down all the nice historic buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Maybe if we all get one for each developer/city official/etc. in Houston, they'll stop tearing down all the nice historic buildings. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Heck, I won't utter about the past, I'll buy one for myself as soon as they hit the shelfs! lol... Well, no one should be offended by it, until they come out with a "Terrorist Attack Set!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
