Evel Knievel Toys For Sale

Since Robert Craig "Evel" Knievel's death in 2007, toys related to the one-time insurance salesman turned daredevil have become much more interesting to toy players and toy collectors. The Evel Knievel Signature Racing set available at Back to Basic Toys is very similar to the toy you may remember from the '70s. It includes Evel and Robbie Knievel action figures, chrome plated motorcycles, jump ramps, and two cycle launchers. Evel even comes with a cape and swagger stick. The set is individually numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Colorforms

The original Colorforms set from 1951 has been re-released for a new generation of sticker loving, vinyl applying kids.  In case you don't remember them, Colorforms are vinyl shapes that you use to make pictures by applying them on a special canvas or other surface (windows are common).  Kids who love stickers will enjoy them because they can be removed and reapplied repeatedly without damaging them (there's nothing sticky on them, they stay applied via static electricity... I think).  The kit comes with 350 shapes and a slick cardboard canvas.  It is also 40% off and is eligible for free super-saving shipping from Amazon.

I found this picture on Flickr to show you what can be done with a little imagination (that is a window not a canvas):

Would you pay $30 for a car or truck?

I don't know how I feel about spending $30 for a toy car. The good news is that you can tell yourself that you saved almost $5 off of the original price. The picture above is one of the Automoblox line of toy cars. Cole and I have never played with them, so I can't give your firsthand knowledge of them, however they are highly reviewed on Amazon. Click on the picture or the link below and go take a look at the details.

Boccerball - whatever that means

It is a strange combination of soccer, marbles, and foosball. The best part is that it is 1/2 off at Amazon right now. Click on the link to see a video of a game being played to really understand.
