I have two. :)
And I think you mean this.

One at work, and one at home usually. Though I can’t find them at the moment.

My favourite toy has a mother-in-law. Luckily she’s pretty cute too. My next favourite toys all either have two wheels, sails or take pictures.

I like toys. My son got Bop It for his birthday and I have played with it more than he has. Maybe because he can’t get it away from me? I guess I’m easily amused.

Thanks @asmonet . I thought he was getting paid by the click as I couldn’t see the connection to fluther.

@Zen: Np, I’m usually wary of “Fluther related links” as well, but as soon as I saw ThinkGeek I knew it wasn’t a scam, and I knew exactly what he was talking about. I’ve mentioned my jellyfish tanks around here a bunch of times before. :)

I lurve toys.

But I am content to not have the newest, bestest, whateverest. I’d rather wait on something until it works/is a friendlier price/has a feature I want. (i.e., I’ve been waiting on getting an iPod touch because I want it to sync with my at home Vienna (or with Google Reader)...not sure how long I’ll have to wait.)

@ragingloli They make tachikoma models? Do they move? Incidentally, I want a toy remote-control Bobcat for Chanukah. Thanks for reminding me – I still have to tell someone to buy it for me.

I don’t play with toys too much, though, unless I’m tripping. We have one of those jointed balls that you can pull open and shut for that, and some squeezy hand toys, and stuff that glows in the dark.

@wildpotato
it didn’t move, no.
some enthusiasts made a working miniature tachikoma robot that could walk and talk. pretty cute.

My favorite is this useless wooden toy called a skateboard.
