Greetings from Amazon.com Delivers Toys for Grownups Editor, Diane Beall FEATURED IN THIS E-MAIL: * Stuff We Love: Star Wars Lazer Tag, Simon Key Chain, Dr. Evil and Mr. Bigglesworth * Brain Challenges: Cranium, Mindtrap, Trivial Pursuit * Toys Under $20: UNO Star Trek Collector Tin, Hippie the Tie Dye Beanie Baby, Magnetic Acrobat Art * Top Sellers for Grownups STUFF WE LOVE ************* Star Wars Lazer Tag Battle Set by Tiger Electronics http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000J1WH/entertainmentsit The Force is strong.... So strong that you're sure to get the urge to reenact those mythic Episode I battles after trying Star Wars Lazer Tag Battle. Two laser light-guns--one a replica of Captain Panaka's pistol and one a replica of a Destroyer Droid blaster--offer rapid- or single-fire capability up to 200 feet. If Darth Maul is lurking in the kitchen, you can switch to mute or indoor modes and get him unawares. During a bona fide battle, hits are based on a 270-degree detection range. All it takes to win is energy, strategy, and, of course, Jedi skill. Simon Key Chain by Fun for All http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IRQD/entertainmentsit Why not make waiting in traffic fun? Simon, the fast-paced memory game, now comes as a handy key chain you can play just like the original version. Like its full-sized counterpart, this mini Simon enhances eye-hand coordination, memory, reaction time, and visual tracking. It may be even more of a challenge because it's much smaller. With the same bright primary colors and sounds as the first Simon, all you'll need are batteries. Dr. Evil and Mr. Bigglesworth by McFarlane Toys http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000JD53/entertainmentsit Dr. Evil knows there's no better way to spread his malevolent mores than by posing as a harmless talking doll and selling himself over the Internet. Complete with a 1960s chic suit, white steppers, and movable hairless kitty, Mr. Bigglesworth, this Dr. Evil doll captures the prurient essence of Austin Powers's nemesis, as well as his mantra: "One million dollars!" Is this a concealed plot to rule the world or just a talking doll? You decide. BRAIN CHALLENGES **************** Trivial Pursuit: Millennium Edition by Hasbro http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IWC5/entertainmentsit One thousand years of fantastic facts are crammed into 4,000 difficult questions with this latest version of Trivial Pursuit. To celebrate the millennium, the makers of Trivial Pursuit dressed up the game with a circular game board, more brilliant colors, 105 photo cards, and a metal carrying tin. Mindtrap by DSI Toys http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000DMBU/entertainmentsit "King Henry VIII gave his wife a bottomless container to put flesh and blood in. What did he give her?" This advanced trivia game poses questions that require more than just impressive recall ability. Mindtrap demands out-of-the-box, deductive thinking. If you're not careful, the questions could become mental quagmires. With two or more players or teams, you can also explore new ways to solve problems, which inevitably changes the way you look at life itself. Cranium by Cranium, Inc. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000DMBQ/entertainmentsit Cranium--Amazon.com's most popular brain game--is stretching synapses and entertaining intellectuals the world over.

The square tin's cover bears the image of the USS Enterprise and the deck sports full-color photos of Captain James T. Kirk, Mr. Spock, Scotty, Lt. Uhura, and the rest of the gang, including their favorite aliens. Wild cards, stop cards, and other play cards feature popular sayings, such as "Beam Me Up, Scotty" or "Mind Meld."
