    Don’t you mean stickle bricks?

    Also, these still exist. You could play with it now. So I don’t see how it’s a ‘yearning to return to a past you can’t return to’.

      Ah, but do the new stickle bricks come pre-impregnated with play-doh, marmite, jam and snot?

      I don’t think the experience would be the same without that sticky texture and combination of aromas.

      Its more so about returning to that point in time and the general feel, not that you just need the toy back. Same with retro computing, you can purchase an old C64 or Atari, but not the same without the wood paneling, ugly furniture, and ashtrays.
