Spirograph... - Big Big Forums

Ok has anyone seen a spirograph lately? I've been searching up and down for one for my little sister and I can't seem to find them. I'm assuming they don't make them anymore, because Amazon, Target, Walmart, KB, and ToysRUs don't have them. I tried ebay but they're all expensive. I feel old already one of my favorite toys is off the market!

If anyone sees one online somewhere will you let me know?

I have seen smaller versions of these at Dollar General. I think target carries them also.
those things are so cool

Oh thank you! I was dumb looking in all the obvious places. Some of those stores were sold out but I found one. Thanks very much! (I still feel old lol)

Boy have these things changed since I was kid. I remember having one of those, I guess it was in the mid to late 60's. We had fun with it.

no problem, i feel old too i had one when i was a kid..came in a board game shaped box and looked nothing like the ones they sell now..i had an old one for my daughter but we lost too many pieces in the move, we had our stuff stored in a garage and animals and people got in our stuff

We were cleaning some stuff out of my mother's house last week and I came across mine from the early 70's. I brought it home and my kids were actually arguing over who got to use it first.

Yeah, they don't have the pins in them anymore, and are really hard to use without them (well, for me anyway lol). My DD got some pieces at Sonic and she loves them, thanks for the froogle link!
