[Beale Knight]

This per a British survey of "the most well-remembered - for better or worse - toys that turned up in the stockings of yesteryear". (It comes in right behind Slime!)

Is it? Cool. I only went to the above link and looked at the top 50. Every time I clicked "previous," it timed out.

Yeah, I had a few pages time out, but they loaded after 2-3 tries. Pretty neat list, there are a number of things on there that I would have given anything to own while growing up, all of which seemed to be owned by one kid in my class named Ben. Ben had lots of friends, mostly because he had cool toys. Ben didn't like me, so I didn't get to play with the cool toys.

Heh, reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where the girl had all the cool toys and Jerry kept getting her drunk so he could play with the toys.
