I'm having the hardest time figuring out what these were called, but somewhere around the mid-nineties Spencers and Hallmark were chock full of them - hourglass type gadgets that were filled with water and tiny drops of colored oil, that when turned over would fall, turning a series of wheels before dribbling through into the bottom compartment. I desperately wanted one but never had one as a child, and as an adult I just know that I could find one if I could figure out what the durned things are! Any Suggestions? :confused:

Not sure what they're called but you can find them at walmart in the toy section. You could probably find them in most toy sections.

Thank you! I'll try Walmart this weekend... :D

I found a web site you can go to http://www.officeplayground.com/liquidmotion
Try this and see if that helps you find your toy
Could you help me out too? I am looking for a Willi Waterbug to buy. I had one when I lived in Michigan.

Thanks!! Those are exactly what I was looking for!

The Willy Water Bug pops up occasionally on eBay in the toys or collectibles sections, see this ended auction: click here

You have to look pretty frequently though, I don't imagine there are many in good condition left... :(
