Strange question about 2000 toy fad - maybe your kids had them.
 

Okay, I'm over a 1,000 miles away from where this crap is stored..but about 7 years ago when I had my flea market biz back in Texas, I used to make some decent coin there and ebay on this really weird toy fad.

It was kind of like pokemon, but it wasn't cards...so maybe closer to the mighty beanz toy fad. People bought these foil type packs and they had these little weird plastic monster type things inside them...and I think the kids rolled them like dice...and traded them for stronger characters.

There were "rare" ones, some were bigger, some were smaller, and some were clear and glittery etc.

I'm sitting here trying to remember the name of this game, I still have like maybe a box left, but for some reason I just remembered this game and it's bugging the shit out of me.

I just remembered, I think that McDonald's even gave them away at some point in their happy meals.

slammers and blogs

I think you're thinking about pogs...those were round discs...these were little creatures of some kind.

Yep, pogs and slammers. WTF, was up with those? No doubt I had a mini collection back in the 90's.:upsidedow:):upsidedow

They don't have to much collection value to them unfortunately. That would be cool though. I collected yugioh cards and I wish I could blame it on my kids but I was the fiend and still love the show. I have thousands of those carrds still today. hehe I was the coolest mom this side of the border that is for sure. Everyone wanted to come to my house!!

Okay I found them, they're called crazy bones.
