Looks complicated and difficult, would make a good videogame tho...

I used to have a Bing Bang Boing set as a kid...the ball bearings would often end up under the couch and I think I only got the basic set as my parent's wallets weren't as 'open-ended' as the IDEAL company would have probably wanted...It was lots of fun though!

I'm jealous. My brother and I would have loved that game. Never heard of it, though. I wonder how long it was around.

A strangely hypnotic advert.....

Those were the days...

I had the basic set too. "Open ended" sounds much better than money pit.

I grew up in the 70's and I've never heard of that, good ad, though.
