Subject: Okay! So who actually broke a Weeble?

Did any of you ever actually succeed in breaking a Weeble? ;D

We used to take those things and throw them onto our Driveway as hard as we could attempting to break one, and we never did! :o

Oh My God! Now I REALLY feel old! ;D ;D ;D

Here's a picture and description of one.  This claims it was in the 80's, but they were really a 70's toy.

Somehow, my brother succeeded in taking the end off one of mine.  He was good at taking everything apart.

Oh wow! I had a bunch of those, mine were mainly sesame street charaters though! They were durable. We rolled ours on an old pool table we had. Not to metion slammed them all over the place trying to get inside! They just dont make toys like they used to. Not that it was long ago but the quality of almost everything has gone down hill. I had an old top that had a push rod on top to pump and make it spin. It was quite large and made of a type of metal. Very durable. I wish I could find one for my kids. I cant even find one thrift stores. Yet I did find an atari with a bunch of games! Wow, they are great.
