Seen in a place called Ollie’s, which buys up merchandise stores like Walmart can’t unload. I didn’t think it was worth the ten bucks. Ugly, ugly toys.

    I know what they looked like. I had a tub of them.

    But they stopped being that in the '90s. They didn’t stop being for toddlers, though. And parents are strongly influenced by their own childhood when buying things for their kids.

      If you’re trying to appeal to people from the 50s to the 80s with your toy line, but it doesn’t look like the toy line they remember, it’s not really going to appeal to them.

      There’s a reason it’s in the discount store.

        Idk, they may have just made too many of them. We have some of these but lord of the rings that we got for our kids a few years ago, but at this point they’ve both aged out of Little People.

        Give me some proper trek lego already

          That would be awesome. The Mega Bloks versions were not good. I’m actually surprised there hasn’t been more Star Trek toy licensing lately.
