Question Need Help Bad!!

Oi check this out OK!

This is one of the few sites you can visit where everyone knows anything about something.

I am appealing to over 40 folk here, only coz you would know.

Maybe younger people will know too, if their parents have them as a collection.

Remember those toys you use to get from the milk bar, it (from memory) was in a plastic ball? (not kinder surprise).

There were metal figurines, like a statue of something, plastic stuff you could put together, sometimes even stuff like a miniature pencil sharpener or trains and planes.

We are talking late 70's here.

Anyone remember these and what they were called?

Yeah yeah I already tried searching the Net, no luck.

I think they were called Cracker Jack toys?? I can see the logo on the plastic gumball machine in my head and that name is ringing a bell.

Cheers
