Who had a Lite Bright?
I must say...I remember getting my first Lite Bright set and to me it was absolutely magical. Just looking at the unlighted pegs would get me buzzing as I would punch them though the black paper through the grid. I couldn't WAIT to then turn off the lights to see my creation!!
Do they even still make Lite Bright? |
my friend still has one that he trips out to when he's on drugs
I would gander that they don't make them anymore, but i had a lot of fun playing with it when i had one a REALLY long time ago |
They still make lite brights, but from what I remember of the boxes, they are radicaly different from the primitive 'christmas tree' light bulb systems we had as kids.
|
That's what made is special though was the X-mas tree like lightbulbs. Hmmm...i'll look it up on the net and see what I can find out about the new ones. I wonder how they work and if they still sell like they did back when I was a kid about 30 years ago.
And LOL to the dude who uses them for when he trips. I can really see that!! HAHAHAHA! |
|
LOL i had one of those.. oh man. more fun than legos and hot wheels.
|
Yep!!! I remember unwrapping it for X-mas numerous times. I also remember running out of the black paper and then it sitting in the closet until we got a new one instead of just getting more paper. NEver knew where to get that paper back then anyway.
|
I'm surprised that they still sell these -- you would think that some stupid kid would have choked to death on the "bulbs" years ago, and their parents sued them out of business.
|
I miss mine so much. My parents got rid of it when they didn't see me play with it for two days in a row- they were good at getting rid of my stuff that took up too much space. I would still find pegs buried in the carpet years and years later, too!
|
I used to love mine. I used to turn off the lights and just stare at the pictures I made with it.
|
That's exactly what I did pinklily! It was practically mesmerizing!!!
|
ooh, ooh, I did! For my birthday one year, my mom "borrowed" it, wrote "Happy Birthday" then set it up by my bed before waking me up...I thought that was so cool.
I loved that satisfying little "pop" when you pushed the bulb through the paper...ah, the little joys in life. I'll have to buy one when I get back home :D |
I had one of those as a child. Best. Toy. Ever.
|

I had one an loved it. And this year I got my daughter's one for christmas and it is a Lite Brite Cube you can make pictures on all four sides. And now they make many different patterns with many different cartoon characters.

Yup, they still sell them, and the one I bought for my youngest daughter for Christmas 2002 was EXACTLY like the one I grew up with.
I think I played with it more than she did. :) |
Wow. Very very very nice!!!
|
Didnt we all have one? Thought it was more a law to have one, similar to how we all had to have had a slinky at one point in our life. ( I still do, and I am 21 :P Mines in a wooden felt layered box, and the slinky is gold played. )
|
I loved mine. One of my favorite things to play with.
|
Man they were awesome.. I had one when I was innocent.. so no dirty words or bad pictures were put on it.. it was just clean fun... I had about 8 million of those little bulbs hehe
Some pics (I love GIS): http://www.drtoy.com/2000_c/hasbro_2000c.gif http://www.whatsbetter.com/static/images/2208.gif http://www.bowesproductions.com/imag...ightbrite2.jpg |
Ahhh...those pictures brought me back. I never made anything that elaborate but my pics were still cool. I think I made a UFO once that I was very proud of. LOL
|
I completely forgot about the good ole lite bright. Thanks guys:)
|
the lite-brite edged out the etch-a-sketch only because the pegs fit in my toy pistol, and unlike the plastic bullets it came with, were sharp...hehehe...
|
Me! That, Etch-A-Sketch, Linkin' Logs, and Lego were the bomb. Hell, I still have two enormous tupperware tubs of Lego hanging around in my basement. :D

Lite Bright and Etch-A-Sketch were THE toys to have back then, only to be surpassed by the Slinky.
Ah, memories... |

Of course, I ran out of paper in a day or two :( |
:( I never did as a kid, neither did I get a GloWorm.
It's funny now, because they are a trend again and my kids have them! |
Mine broke the first time I got one :-(
|
My brother got one. He also got a "Magical Musical Thing" and I got a "Merlin, Electronic Wizard".
Bastard. |

*raises hand*
yeah i was a sucker for lite brite. :) |
I never had one, but I remember them. I did have a huge bin of legos though, and still look for that giant car technical set on ebay everyonce and awhile as I could never afford it as a kid.
|
MIne was a hand me down from my teenaged aunt at the time.

Christmas-tree lights? Mine used colored plastic pegs, and a light bulb inside. Really low-tech, but it worked. Too bad there was no way to save/restore. :( (edit) It just hit me that I got that thing just over 35 freaking years ago. |

I wonder if they still make the refills. (edit) Oh God, they still make the refills, but, er, the TOPICS they're using: I dunno if I could do these. ('nother edit) Okay, it's not a total loss: this list contains some better stuff. |
I loved that thing! My bro and I used to set up the cushions from the sofa as a castle wall and shoot each other with the Light Brite pegs using a rubber band. Little buggers hurt!!!!!
