It’s interesting seeing fads like this start, I remember some years ago when the Tamagotchi was the in thing, I managed to get one from the first ever shipment Toys’R’Us got in the UK. I went along one early Saturday morning and queued up to get my Tama, strange experience but quite fun. At that time they were gold dust and I could have sold it for 4-5x (I was narked I got a white one cos I wanted a clear blue one). So anyway the fad just grew and grew till all the clones came out and that just about spelt the end of the craze. I did manage to setup a webpage back in ’97 during the heat of the fad: http://www.ridhughz.demon.co.uk/tamagotchi/ and I still get emails from kids asking where can they get a Tamagotchi from. Strange thing, millions were sold yet they’ve all just about disappeared, probably buried at the bottom of millions of kids toyboxes.
The Tamagotchi’s life was understandably finite, but the Bit Char-G I can only see it getting better, now I have some of these miniature cars I’m now waiting for them to bring out RC cars the size of Micro Machine cars. Only had to wait 20 years for the Bit Char-G, wonder if I’ll have to wait half that time for Micro Machine sized cars :smiley1:
