I would have thought Beaker was more your style.

He's in there.

Or you can get a whole lab set here.

I really want the "Taunting Frenchman".

Toys are not just for children, adults need their toys also!

They're still around? They used to have 2 stores in NYC many, many years ago. I've been there - it's a great place if you want to burn money

I remember as a student in London whiling away many a lunch hour in their Oxford street store. I was too pressed for pocket money to ever buy much, which was probably fortunate.

Speaking of geek chic, I'm currently fiending for these:

Do they sell "adult toys?"

Yes. I've seen shops with signs saying "XXX ADULT TOYS" down at the Cross. XXX must be the brand name for a toy company or something.

I seem to recall one was selling inflatable sheep (for adults pretending to be farmers I suppose).

And lots and lots of toy rockets. I never would have thought adults would be so into rockets.

BTW: None of the rockets could fly - they just sat on the launch-pad vibrating. Pretty dumb if you ask me.

They were even trying to sell bent ones!

The nerve of some people...

i have seen those, i mean common, how did they ever think they were going to fly with no wings. Well i did see one with wing type things but damn it looked freaky

Ha ha, I clicked on this thread while watching Dr. Who! Case closed!

I got that muppet playset for my b-day last year and last night I bought my sister 3 Muppet TV show DVD's for her B-day. Naturally I got her the one with Mark Hamel

Heh...ya. What's that saying...something like, "The only difference between men and boys is the price of their many toys." Certainly the case for this guy.

How *insane or sweet* would it be to have your significant other's parents walk into your house for the the first time and see a life-size Facehugger-planted-on-a-face from Aliens sitting on the mantle above the fireplace?!
