Changes in the way people played games in the 80s, especially kids, put pressure on the company. In this blog post, I’ll explain how changing times led Milton Bradley to make a transformational bet at the worst possible time that ultimately sunk the maker of the game Battleship, and what happened to what was left of Milton Bradley.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #80s #gaming #retro #toys #vectrex</p> Thu, 21 May 2026 19:39:54 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:38550 80s gaming retro toys vectrex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQe1hxpRBKs After spending two videos building a LEGO car factory, I knew that the machine had the potential to pick up and place down most individual LEGO pieces, so I wanted to try turning it into a more general pick-and-place machine to see what kinds of things it would be able to construct.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #automation #hardware #lego #machines #nifty #toys</p> Fri, 30 Jan 2026 22:42:49 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:38272 automation hardware lego machines nifty toys https://www.retroist.com/p/1984-toys-r-us-christmas-sale-circular Nowadays, I still enjoy looking at the old relics of sales past. They are wonderful historical artifacts and they take me right back to when I was a kid. So, I would like to share with you a Toys “R” Us circular from 1984. It was published right after December of that year. Like most of their sales offering during these years, it promised that their “prices will be no higher through Dec. 25th.” So no matter when you shop at the store this month, this is what you would have paid. Let’s jump in and look at some of the highlights on each page.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #christmas #retro #toys #toysrus #xmas</p> Thu, 11 Dec 2025 00:56:26 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:38106 christmas retro toys toysrus xmas https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/xmas-tree-spinning-toy A refined, sculptural reinterpretation of the classic holiday icon — smooth, elegant, and oddly meaningful.

"All of the toys also weighed in on other topics that parents might prefer to talk with their kids about first before the AI toy does," PIRG noted," the report says. "Those topics included religion, along with sex and "the glory of dying in battle in Norse Mythology."<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #ai #llms #tech #toys #weird</p> Sat, 15 Nov 2025 19:01:54 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:37964 ai llms tech toys weird https://www.patreon.com/posts/new-design-ghost-138155624 <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #3dprinting #spoopy #toys</p> Mon, 08 Sep 2025 05:19:02 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:33314 3dprinting spoopy toys https://focusfurnace.com/scroll_buddy.html Instead of a boring scrollbar thought it would be fun to have an animated stick figure that walks up and down the side of your page when you scroll.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #javascript #toys #webdev</p> Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:50:36 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:29636 javascript toys webdev https://hackaday.com/2025/02/12/laser-cut-acrylic-provides-movie-style-authentication/ If you’ve seen Crimson Tide, or the first few minutes of WarGames, you might already know what this post is about. Both films prominently make use of a one-time authentication device which the user snaps in half to reveal a card that has some secret code printed on it — and as it turns out, there are at least two different projects that aim to replicate the props used in the movies.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #3dprinting #diy #toys</p> Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:35:20 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:29643 3dprinting diy toys http://www.brutman.com/Programmatics_Paper_Hex_Calculator.pdf <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #dev #diy #hex #math #toys</p> Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:09:51 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:29657 dev diy hex math toys https://knockoffthegame.com/ The game’s setting is a truly unique twist on the genre, featuring action figure toys engaged in friendly battles within a young boy’s bedroom. These battles are fueled by the imagination of children, creating a hidden world where these toys come to life. The plot intensifies with the introduction of a powerful new toy, whose elitist views lead to a head-to-head clash with the older knock-off toys. The destiny of imagination rests in your hands.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #fighting #gaming #toys</p> Sat, 09 Nov 2024 00:23:27 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:29896 fighting gaming toys https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6191549 Highlight:Batman cat mask. stl file and obj file.

It seemed burgers were just a little juicier and fries were just a little saltier when they came served in these. And then you got to hang on to them and fill them with candy on Halloween night! Available in my Etsy storeBegging your parents to buy you a Happy Meal has been a time honored tradition for decades, but kids growing up in the '80s and '90s know the pestering was even more necessary in October when the wonderful pumpkin buckets appeared. It seemed burgers were just a little juicier and fries were just a little saltier when they came served in these. And then you got to hang on to them and fill them with candy on Halloween night!Most of us may have grown out of eating happy meals and trick-or-treating, but these nostalgic, iconic designs can live on as small ornaments perfect for decorating a desk or mantle. The buckets have been faithfully recreated, measured from a real bucket to get the right proportions and profile but tweaked just enough to be easy to print without supports. The memorable pumpkin-ribbed lids with the little button on top are removable and the handles swing satisfyingly. The face designs were carefully redrawn exactly from photos, the witch even has the sneaky spider hiding in the back amidst her hair. There are two variations available, if you opt for the set with holes, you can add a string of LED lights and really make them pop!I've found this size seems to work really well without needing any supports and is a good size to use with standard LED lights. Any larger and you'll likely get some drooping in some of the face elements and the rim of the bucket. It might be fun to make larger, candy dish sized buckets, but I haven't experimented with going that big. The inside of the lids, without supports will probably look a mess, but who really cares. right? The handles might look a bit precarious but I'm able to print these, and even smaller, without a brim or raft just by slowing down my speeds a bit. They are small and only take a few minutes anyway, may as well slow things down and give them the best chance for success. Once printed, trim the middle support piece away,as shown in the picture above, and bend the handle just a bit to get it to pop into the bucket holes. Don't trim away too much or the posts will be too short and the handle may slip out of the bucket easily. Try using cjgkun's Light Clips to help secure your lights inside the buckets!<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #3dprinting #halloween #imported:raindrop #mcdonalds #toys</p> Fri, 23 Aug 2024 16:31:58 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:101 3dprinting halloween imported:raindrop mcdonalds toys http://www.foldnfly.com/ A database of paper airplanes with easy to follow folding instructions.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #crafts #diy #fun #imported:pinboard #paper #papercraft #toys</p> Sat, 23 Jul 2016 00:11:43 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:31441 crafts diy fun imported:pinboard paper papercraft toys http://www.foldnfly.com A database of paper airplanes with easy to follow folding instructions.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #crafts #diy #fun #paper #papercraft #toys</p> Sat, 23 Jul 2016 00:11:43 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:26599 crafts diy fun paper papercraft toys
