101 Dalmatian stuffed animals: In 1991 Mattel released stuffed animal puppies from 101 Dalmatians, I got all but one, on the back of the box they came in showed a picture of each plush animal, Lucky had a line through him that said unavalible, yet they had a picture of him and he was in the commercial. I have looked all over the internet and found someone selling one of the other puppies that was NOT Lucky, but it had the yellow collar that said Lucky (that I remember being on the dog listed as unavailble) why was it marked unavalible, (when obviously he was manufactured) and how can i get one?
1800’s Parker Bros. Game: I have a late 1800’s Parker Bros. game called "Krazy Konversation Kards". There are two stacks of cards. One stack are question cards, the other is answer cards. The object of the game (my guess is in a parlor setting) is to take turns drawing cards with one person asking a question and then another drawing a card and answering. It is evident that the wording is of the 1800’s era. My question is how much is a game like this worth?

1970’s Hong Kong toy livestock truck: I am looking for a toy truck that was sold in the 1970’s and was produced in Hong Kong. The truck had an orange cab and a blue box with a small opening in the back to put the horses and cows that came with it. The wheel base was white plastic and the tires were black rubber (with white in the middle). The horses were red chestnuts (I think there were 6) and very tiny (maybe 1/2 inch). The cows were grey and lying down (again I think there were 6 and they were approximately 1/4 inch tall). The truck itself was cheaply made and did not hold up well to play.

ACTION FIGURES: In the mid to late 80s my brother and I were addicted to a set of action figures that I am trying to identify. One of the primary features was that their vehicles or bases came with ropes or ribbons that could be clamped onto objects to make ‘zip lines’ or bridges. The ropes and nylon ribbons were very bright colored, and as I recall the actual action figures were relatively small, maybe around an inch or smaller, but my memory could be wrong on that one. I thought that these toys were associated with the TV show M.A.S.K but that does not appear to be correct, based on my limited research. I really hope that you can help me find these toys.
Action-boys: There was a toy I used to play with as a kid in the late 1980’s erarly 1990’s. And recently I started to think of what kinds of toys I used to play with. One sticks out in my head, but for the life of me, I cannot remember the name. I remember them being small, like micro-machines. It was almost all vechicals, tanks, plans, helicopters...ect. The two things I really remeber that stood out is the fact that the small action figures had magnets on their feet to stick to the vehicles, and one of the "army’s" had a symbol of a black triangle with an inverted red triangle in the center. I’ve searched google, yahoo, msn and every other search engine I could think of...and haven’t gotten any closer. I’m hoping you can help.

Army Toy Figures, Ratchet Bases?: In the mid-70s I had some toy arny figures. They were split at the mid section and could be placed on a terrain base.

Cabbage Patch Recall: I have a cabbage patch doll that I have been trying to find out more about, I have recently found out that it was one of the Cabbage Patch Snacktime Kids they were vey popular in the 1980s across North America and many parts of Europe. This line of dolls was an early 1990s incarnation desighned to "eat" plastic snacks. The mechanism was a pair of one-way metal rollers behind a plastic slot and rubber lips, and there were 35 reported incidents where a childs hair or finger was caught in the mouths. On December 31, 1996 after 700,000 dolls were distributed in the U.S. in just 5 months , the CPSC along with manufacturers Mattel announced that they would place warning information labels on all unsold dolls. A week later in January 1997, CPSC and Mattel announced that all Cabbage Patch Kids Snacktime Kids Dolls were being removed from the market. I have heard that the majority of these dolls were destroyed after being recalled and that the doll I have is a rare collectors item. Can you tell me if it is and what the value of it is. DDJS

kids reclining chairs: Same as Maggie had: Where can I find these? I bought a stuffed animal chair at Safeway grocery store sometime between 2004 & 2006 in Des Moines, Washington, a few miles south of Seattle. They had a display with I believe 4 different plush animal chairs. They reclined from laying flat to sitting perfectly erect/straight up and have 10 different positions in total. Our 3-1/2 yo boy LOVES this chair and my friends all want them for their children. I would love to get another for our boy’s father’s apartment so he has one both places. They cost approximately $29.95 at the time I purchased it. The label says it is made by "Fine Toy Company, Ltd. for Safeway" but I’m having trouble finding that. It doesn’t help that my computer keeps crashing during my searches. PLEASE help us find the company or the chairs or similar or all!~ THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH! - Mariza

I don’t think it was a dream...please help me prove I’m not nutty!?!
Little rubber animals from the 70s (not pencil toppers): Hi, back in the 1970s at our Sonoran Desert Museum store there was a bin of tiny little rubber animals of great variety. They were about a half inch high and made of very flexible rubber, usually one solid color with painted eyes or highlights. We called them little rubber animals. There were dinosaurs, hedgehogs, frogs, everything. The detail was very good especially for the size. I have since never seen these anywhere, including ebay or the Internet. Do you know a brand name for these?

Marble Roller Coaster: I would love to track down a marble roller coaster construction set I had as a kid. Details: Circa mid-1980’s. Green interlocking posts (two heights, male/female coupling) anchor into a square, flat base with a grid of holes; multiple bases could be interlocked - bases may have been brown, and possibly rectangular if not square. Yellow arms attached (snapped) to the vertical green posts, upon which red guide rails could be attached (snapped). Guide rails had two slots for thin plastic tubing and came in two configurations - flat (for straight rolling) or approx 30 degree angle (for turns). Marbles were stainless steel. The toy, I believe, came from Sweden, Denmark, Norway or somewhere in that region.
