If you want to attempt a "rotation" as Walker Percy calls it; Archie McPhee
here in Seattle still sells the Spud Gun. They are at
http://www.mcphee.com their store is about a half mile from where I live
and is a true wonder.
I don't so much miss the toys as the sense of being so unjaded and not
comparing every experience to all the ones I have had before. Not that I
was uncritical as a child, its just that I didn't have the huge backlog of
experience to compare it to.
