Hell yes.

Sexual reference to a child pales into insignificance in the face of how much he hates RoboRaptor.

OANST 12-04-2009 07:12 AM

Yes, I hate Roboraptor that much.

Anyway, the two ideas that I'm liking the most are the Creepy Crawlers, and the second link that DI posted

What are these, and where can I find them?

I also liked the Capsella stuff, but I think that I'm done buying building toys for this year. I seriously got her a lot of lego's.

This would be great

Are you sure? It looks arsehole-ish.

OANST 12-04-2009 11:12 AM

I just ordered the Creepy Crawlers set, and some extras for it. She'll like that.

T-nex 12-04-2009 11:18 AM

I win! :D ... maybe... If she hates it I'll surely get an asswhooping x_x

Oh well... Hope she enjoys it :D!

Be sure to keep the Creepy Crawlers thing clean, it has a tendency to get very messy if left unkempt. The "plasti-goop", if I recall, is very oily in nature and will remain wet for an eternity if it isn't cleaned up.

I remember there was this special set of Creepy Crawlers that came with wire armatures to put in the mold so your creatures could bend. Dunno if that's still around, but it's worth a look.

BTW, the toy was so popular it had it's own spin-off cartoon show. The show was not nearly as popular.

OANST 12-04-2009 11:24 AM

I'm sure she'll love it. I'll make sure to keep it clean, too.

This isn't the end of the shopping, so suggestions are still being taken!


I remembered that I loved Monster in My Pocket when I was kid, so I looked it up. It turns out that there is a new set, but it isn't being sold in the U.S., and I can't find an online store that has them. So that sucks.

Sekto Springs 12-04-2009 11:31 AM

I remember Monster in My Pocket, the show. It was pretty awful if I recall, but kids love it. I also loved Dr. Dreadful's Freaky Food Lab, which was as messy as they come. I'm pretty sure they don't make them anymore though.

That's another case of making a t.v. show from a popular toy. I was really into Greek mythology when I was a kid, and there were tons of creatures from those stories in the sets. Which was awesome.

I remember there's a Skeleton toy thing that lets you combine dinosaur bones to get new crazy dino monsters... would she be interested in that?

That sounds cool.

Strike Witch 12-04-2009 11:50 AM

Oh, here we go.

Not sure how rampant they are in toy aisles, but they still have a website. They do mythological titans, Dinosaurs, and aliens too, so that's a pretty decent selection.

OANST 12-04-2009 12:07 PM

They're pretty cheap, too. I might grab a few after I put some more money on my card.

Leto 12-04-2009 01:20 PM

does she like sloths? i fucking love sloths. these 'teddy bear' sloths are awesome.

Go for Skeleflex.

OANST 12-04-2009 01:29 PM

Sloths are pretty cool, but I don't think that I will buy any more stuffed animals this year.

Disgruntled Intern 12-04-2009 03:12 PM

It's called My Little Cthulhu. You can get one [or several!] here.


But wait, there's an alternative! They're called Mythos Buddies. They're blind boxed, which a six year old may love or hate equally. The price is pretty steep considering how small they are, but I assume she has small hands, so that might not be such a draw for her.

You can get them here.

Edit: Okay, so I didn't do so well digging up links. The first is for a preorder, and I think the second is for wholesale. I'd dig a little more, but I have to get back to work. Sorry.

Pilot 12-04-2009 04:11 PM

How about an old fashioned board game? I loved those as a kid.

:

Yow. Six year olds and dildos. I'm not surprised. It's the hair. It gives you away.
I only do it to impress OANST.

The hair or the sex with kids?

BETTER NOT SAY BOTH BROWN NOSER

Pilot 12-04-2009 06:27 PM

You'd better stop with the 'sex with kids' shit; you're not funny, and really quite hurtful.

MA 12-04-2009 06:32 PM

hope that's sarcastic, Pilot?

Pilot 12-04-2009 06:38 PM

No. Jokes can be taken too far, MA. Why would I be sarcastic?

MA 12-04-2009 06:42 PM

alright. leaving it at that.

Pilot 12-04-2009 06:46 PM

At what? I don't care for sick jokes about adults having sex with six year olds, nor any implications of such.

MA 12-04-2009 06:54 PM

i said that so it wouldn't turn into an argument.

i genuinely agree with you, you should know that, its just different sense's of humour vary, including yours. i didn't know if you were being sarcastic or not.

i agree with you, okay? end of. i cant believe i'm talking about this.

LOVE YOU

pirate stuff to get this back on topic

Pilot 12-04-2009 06:58 PM

MA, the Great Thread Equalizer. It's been said before, but I don't know where else a thread about Christmas toys can degenerate into a discussion about buying your kid a sex toy for Christmas. ;)

Oh lord.......

used:) 12-04-2009 07:00 PM

Awwwwww, Stevie!

What about books? Is she interested in animals at all?

Pilot 12-04-2009 07:06 PM

She seems the clever type.... now what about an electronic project lab- putting together wires and electronic components to build different devices like lie detectors and electronic thermometers. Long shot?
