I never got one when I was younger. And then when I turned about 13 or so I went out and bought myself one. I would have had more fun if I was younger... but I still look at it on my shelf everyonce in a while... and I might just take it down to play. lol

Coffee Table Version?
Clicky
Link goes to the fruits of my GIS, a craft forum where a poster has put up the plans for this home made version. There is also a more recent portable version made by HASBRO, I just got one for one of my cousins.

We had several over the years and I kind distinctly recall the sound the "bulbs" make when getting sucked up in the vacuum cleaner.
I remember finding them under the edges of the carpet years later when long green shag went out of style.

ohh how I miss those younger days, free to play with little pieces of plastic that my parents payed for, all day if necessary. Now all I do is work work work, no more plastic lights for me

I had one of the direct precursors to lite brite and loved it.
It was a plastic board with holes for lite-brite type pegs but they didn't light up - they were just colored in a myriad of cool colors. I can't recall its name. Anyone know what it was called?

Thanks Fremen, cool stuff.
Yeah this thing was responsible for my interest in pointillism and color. The plastic pegs and board were shaped just like a little Lite Brite and the colors included pastels and exotic hues.

I had one and probably still do in my parents' attic. Even though I am on my fourth house, every time I go in my parents' attic, I still find my stuff from when I was a kid.
I gotta get one of those coffee tables for the basement.
