HOLY CARP!!!

My son wants some ridiculous little toys that kind of transform. He says they are battle robots, but he's 6, so take that with a grain of salt. When he says what they are called, it sounds like "Back n' gone" but that's obviously not the spelling. I saw one of my grade 7s playing with them - they're tiny - the size of a walnut. I asked him if he knew how to spell it, and he did not. I don't even know WHERE to look in a toy store, because I don't know precisely what they are. Anyone have ANY idea what he's talking about? :rolleyes: |

One year, for Christmas, I asked for a 'blue tailed squirrel'. That was as descriptive as I got. I think I was four. Consider yourself lucky. |

Maybe the brand name is on the the underside of the toy if you see the kid playing with it again? |

One possibility:![]() There was just a movie about those, so maybe pop culture has hit your household. http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=amb_link_47976..._rd_i=337344011 Here's a list of hot transformer toys: http://toys.about.com/od/transformers/tp/toptransformers.htm And then there's these: ![]() http://www.amazon.com/Hasbro-68238-AttackT...r/dp/B000ETQR0O Those are called AttackTix, which could sound a little like back 'n gone. |

Nope. Neither of those. And yeah, we've already done the Transformers thing. He got Optimus Prime for his birthday tonight (I don't have him tomorrow night). He's playing with him right now. |
