I can confirm that this set of stacking robots is amazing… I own one and my husband once made a stop-motion film of them marching through our door to the tune of “We are the Robots.”
The stacking robots are a repaint of a classic: Bill Ding (http://www.drtoy.com/awards/5002.html). Growing up I played with my mom’s set (from the ’50s) which she still has and my daughter plays with them when we visit. Fabulous toy.
Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but
I had to tell someone!
