I fondly remember my Lite Brite...it came with about 50 black paper sheets with designs outlined in different numbers that corresponded to different colored pegs. You basically had to find the right colored peg and punch it through the sheet on the right number, into the metal sheet with holes behind it to make pictures that light up. I had a lot of Disney sheets so I did designs like The Little Mermaid and Mickey Mouse. It was the coolest thing. Then I lost those little colored pegs and my Lite Brite was rendered useless.

Another fond memory I had was with one of those Domino Rally sets. You basically set up these plastic dominos to fall over and do all sorts of neat things like launch a rocket. But, what they didn't say on the commercials or the box was that setting it up was a pain and a half. My cousins spent all their vacation with us trying to set it up and never could get it like the instructions were asking. The dominos kept falling over at the slightest touch! Eventually everyone gave up and the pieces were scattered or lost all over the playroom.

You don't see toys like this anymore because idiots kept on letting their kids swallow the small pieces. Now they are considered a choking hazard, especially the Lite Brite toy's colored pegs. Stupid negligent parents....
