Fiddlesticks I want to play with my toys


This is a very interesting toy that I recently found at a yard sale. It's called "Fiddlesticks" by Knickerbocker Toys. Not much is known about this particular toy that I could find. What really makes this toy interesting is the cross promotion of DC and Marvel in one product. This is a building toy where you have instructions to build what looks like the Bat Plane. The set comes with many different types of pieces, sort of in the style of Knex. What I really like is the 4 action figures that you get with the set. You get the Hulk, Spiderman, Superman and Batman. Now what child wouldn't like a toy where you get the best characters from both worlds without buying two different toys from 2 different toy companies.

Thanks and keep looking for those hard to find toys! www.vintageboardgames.net

MB Mystery Mansion Game


The first game I will post about is MB Mystery Mansion Game. My family really enjoys this electronic game. Produced in the 80's this game speaks to you providing you clues on where to look for millions of dollars hidden in furniture throughout the house. Just like Clue, this game provides you hints about where to look and where not to look.

This game is becoming highly collectible since many of the kids who played the game are now adults. Many times the main piece of the game, the Electronic Organizer is broken or one of the 35 pieces of furniture are missing. If you ever have the opportunity to pick this game up at a yard sale or auction I would highly recommend it!
