Anyone take a gander at the opinion poll?

The Ball (12.3%)

Big Wheel (15.5%)

Cabbage Patch Kids (7.6%)

The Game of Life (6.3%)

Hot Wheels (9.1%)

Nintendo Game Boy (6.9%)

Paper Airplane (3.8%)

Playing Cards (5.7%)

Rubik's Cube (6.3%)

Sidewalk Chalk (2.8%)

Toy Tea Set (3.8%)

Transformers (19.9%)

Popular opinion says Transformers should make it in. Hmm, I wonder what the virtual equivalent of a hanging CHAD is?

But I'm quite surprised Hot Wheels and the Rubik's Cube isn't already in there. Sidewalk Chalk, Tea Sets, Paper Airplanes, Playing Cards and "The Ball" shouldn't even be considered though. After all, no one company or organization can really be given credit for any of those ideas(well, maybe playing cards, or tea sets on the basis of "we marketed it first").

But really, a paper airplane? How is that even a toy?

Well a card board box won its way into the National Toy Hall of Fame 8-}

Do you play with paper airplanes or fly paper airplanes? If you play with them, it is therefore a toy. If you fly paper airplanes, well then, it depends on whether you think flying is play or work :grin:

Playing cards have been marketed since the early 1700s. The first card deck marketed was a German bible-oriented game with over 300 cards.

LOL? Why is there a picture of one of my G1 Autobot shelves on the front page?

(It's cool, I'm honored. How'd it happen though?)
