Hi there,

I am trying to track down a toy that I remember having in around 1993-1995.
It was a plastic yellow toy measuring about 25cm x 12cm x 5cm. It was mainly yellow plastic but had a clear window on the front of it. It was either wind up or battery powered and the idea was to move a small silver ball bearing from the bottom to the top (of the window). Along the route there were moving yellow parts such as bridges and little gaps which you had to time. You had a button I believe to make the ball progress when you thought it was timed correctly. I also seem to think there was a hot air balloon in there somewhere.

I have a feeling the name of the toy was something like 'aaaaaarrrgh! ' but I have been unable to track it down as of now.
All help, hints, suggestions or anything would be very much appreciated!
Thank you in advance,

Sam

It would help if people knew which country this toy was popular in. I'm guessing, from your phrasing and use of metric measurements, that you're in the UK.

It had just occurred to me that I should have included that information so came back to add it - I am indeed in the UK.

Hopefully someone familiar with UK toys will be able to help you.

I have now found it!
