Ricardo's childhood toy of the week: Strange Change Machine!!!!

OMG OMG OMG!

I had this as a kid! You could put these...plastic squares into this...time machine to make dinosaurs and monsters out of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so I was easily entertained at that age.

Here's the box and the display stand. The change machine is on the left, and who cares if it heated up dangerously around children and capable of burning a house to the ground?

Okay, I know the dinosaurs and monsters don't look that impressive now, but they were pure childhood gold to me...
