Yup I remember that Merlin game as well!

And that isn’t a stuffed octopus – it’s a “Stretch Armstrong” type octopus. I had a blue one and my sister had a pink one.

Merlin was a number game – I actually found one MIB from the late 70’s at a Flea Market for a buck. Anyone notice what high prices everything has? Geez, that’s high for NOW for some of those things – like the stuffed Octopus.

That’s a Merlin if I’m not mistaken, super high tech then. It’s a dollar store toy now though.

Ok. what was that darn thing in the center square? I HAD one, but don't remember anything about it except that I used it as a 'phone' when the batteries ran out.

Man. 22.49 was a gob of cash back then.

Oh wow! Mr. Mouth!!! I’d forgot about that game! My Nana used to have it at her house for all the grandkids to play with when we’d visit. I wonder where it is today… wish I still had it!

You and me both! I would ride off into the sunset laughing at the great deals I just got on a brand new Big Wheels as well!
