I remember playing this as a kid...it was fun...and you really needed a steady hand. I bought it for my kids today and my 5 year old mastered it in 5 minutes...no wonder...look at the holes...a blind person can do it.





I remember with the old one, they had a wishbone..and the hole was shaped like the wishbone so it was hard to get out...guess this is just more of let's make it real easy for our kids so they can win every time.

Guess I should have read the box better...they even say it's been made easier...so off to return it....;

So drag out the "old" version, and let him give it a try.

Unless, of course, you're skeered......:D
 
Maybe they still make both versions? We bought the "Buzz Lightyear" version for our daughter and it is every bit as hard as I remembered.

Maybe the "easy" version can be made hard again by hooking up a set of BBQ tongs instead of the tweezers.

This reminds me....

There was a video game where you played neurosurgeon. It was fairly complex when things started to go wrong and the patient started to die on you. I never took the time to look up any procedures, I just operated by the seat of my pants and killed off patients one after the other. I called myself "The Doctor From Hell":D:D:D
 
Sip,
today's theology is that EVERY KID has to be a winner because it's politically incorrect to have one of your friends kids not be able to win too!

In schools when they play games in Gym, no one even keeps score anymore. Trains them for real life, right? - - - - NOT!!!

The biggest difference between the new version and vintage game is that with the former, you can be sued for malpractice.
