Sep 08, 2008 Hypercross Puzzle

Way fun! I think I may go play with my son's toys now!

man i think i have them all but it's not taking...

[1] Agreed, unlike some of the other most recent puzzles, right arNOTt.

Very Fun !

lots of fun and lots of memories!!! didn't have to google anything!!!

[1] yup... very fun! had all of them growing up except #12

I especially had fun with #14. :)

The maker of #7 gets bent out of shape (figuratively) when you spell it with that last letter. So of course I always do.
Thanks for the fun!

Very fun!

Who walks down stairs, without a care and makes a ****ty sound...

[9] ROFL I was just going to post the #7 is not technically correct. :)

[11} Isn't that what Santa does when he brings these toys?

I had that same thought, markta. Probably compounded by the unnecessary S-ing of 5 and 12. But on the whole, I appreciate that I recognized all of these (and deplore how old it makes me feel).

I must have a spelling error or something wrong, it won't take my answers.

NM: found it.

[15] me too. I've got them all. I even refreshed and re-entered.

You call this a puzzle? Bah, humbug!

j/k :-)

Not much challenge, but loads of fun; thanks for the smiles...

[16] I had the second part of 8 spelled wrong. You can TG me if you want to.

I kept spelling #10 wrong until I remembered it ends with a double letter

#11 threw me off for a bit. I kept thinking they were super balls.

I am glad you all liked it and had fun.

[9], [12] - I too thought that when I filled in the answer for #7. "No, no! Collectively they are ____ elements!" I never added on the "elements," but I never added on the extra letter either. = )

Where are the Tinker Toys?

got all but #12 straight through (a big kid - but didn't play with or own one 'o those) #13 could have a hamburger...
[23]I was looking for the Erector Set.

5 stars! Great trip down memory lane! :-P

the mix of generic and brand names weirded me out.

I've no idea of what 14 is. I don't think they ever made it to NZ. Any help?

Fastest crossword ever.

But for some reason I was putting an "o" for the first vowel in #16 instead of a "u" ...strange. 8-P

I don't recognise 14 either.

There's no Meccano.

[27] That's entirely possible. Wood playthings named after the 16th president of the US.

Definitely one of the most straightfoward hypercrosses I've seen. Not much to complain about here! Cute. Nice diversion.

Yeah, #14 is probably the MOST american of any of the toys on the list.

Any salt on #8? I have NO idea what that is.

[32] Well, it's the only toy I know of to get close to the moon. Part of the first mission to see earthrise.

Makes the toy cooler than I am, I suppose.

Good Times back then..........................
