    Tobor rocked! By the way, if you put the clicker right up to your ear and pull the trigger, it really hurt. Apparently there was a warning to that effect on the package which I had missed as a young lad.

    What does it say about American toy manufacturers that Playmobil is still around (and still awesome and still selling), but Adventure People have totally disappeared?

    I still have the Tobor I got for Christmas in 1978 (I'm looking at it right now). It hasn't worked in years, but still displays very nicely next to my 8 track player and tapes.
