I went through my closet and found a few of my old things from 1994-1998. I found my sisters Skip it and my original Twister game (The Realy old one like from the 80s or something). Also found my sockem Bobers. Couldnt believe what i found in there. Started to play Break the Ice cause that was my favorite game when i was 5. Found an old nitendo inside as well. But it Cr@ped out on me in the middle of mario… Good thing my Genises still works. Cant beleive i still have these things. Also found a 1985 Hess Truck in there. Just wondering if anyone else still has there old stuff?
For 200 years or more, toys have been painted with brilliant reds, yellows, greens, and blues. Toy wooden wagons then lincoln logs, then Fire engines for johnny, and painted russian dolls and doll houses for lil Suzy. Guess what? All of those paints and most of the metals were full of lead. Probably were up until the 70s or 80s. Toys were only safe for like 10 years. Now china is going through the same lead issues because no one told them any better. When you start buying their cars soon, you will all die beccause they crumple like paper in crash tests. LOL
Anyways, your parents and every ancestor prior played with toys full of lead. This can only mean one of two things…. they are all brain damaged mutants (your whole family) or a bit of lead never hurt anyone.
The press is acting like this is news and unprecedented. Shortsighted ignorant morons.
The question is really:
Why is the press acting like toys have never had lead in them before – don’t they put anything into historical context, or merely “hysterical” context?

They are about an inch tall and made of solid one-piece plastic. They may have been a toy that went as a gift with some product in the 80s.
where is your nearest Toys r us and what does the building look like? I have a fixation with Toys r us that have that old style 80s look with the brown roof and rainbows and DID ANY OF YOU EVER HAVE ONE THAT LOOK LIKE THAT OR DO NOW?
