I believe there were machines like that which made space-related souvenirs at the Cape Canaveral visitor center in the early 1970's.

I remember buying an Ankylasaurous from one of those machines in about 1966.

I have a space shuttle from one of those machines I got at the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa.
There is a customer that comes into a store I used to work in who owns a company with those machines.

You must have one of those cool parents. My old man did not believe in buying stuff like that. I visited the sub and coal mine many times as a kid. Even as a kid the submarine felt cramped.

Yes, we had a full set of Sinclair Dinosaurs. I believe there was a Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus.

I remember getting animals at the Milwaukee and Brookfield Zoos. I still remember the smell of them being made.




If you like religion, laws or sausage, then you shouldn't watch them being made.
