That's awesome. You should dig them up. I've got all my stuff at my grandparents' house. I tell Karen that someday I want to create an old toy museum in our house. You can imagine she's head over heels excited about the idea.

I also used to favor toys that had lots of little movable parts, like the guys from M.A.S.K. and their super-sweet helmets.

Thanks to my French roots, I've got nothing but love for Asterix and Obelix. You don't often meet people who shared that interest.

growing up my aunt would buy me these in bulk and bring them along when she visited the US. i was straight up addicted to assembling the toys and remember just throwing out the chocolate on many occasions (mind you, I was about 8 yrs old at the time). my favorite toy series BY FAR were the extremely intricate figurines of Asterix characters: http://tinyurl.com/nxteae

i'm sure they're still buried in a box somehwere in my parents' basement

Comment on Evolution by Design: The Attached Gas Tank Cap by Lexi

Lexi — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 02:48:41 +0000

The number of times that I've driven away without the gas cap on…

I love when I see design solutions that solve small, everyday problems, those “why didn't I think of that” moments. There are so many increments in design all around us e.g. re-sealable lids for milk cartons, that have a knock on effect to reduce the number of problems that we have when using the product. I can open the carton with ease, it is easier to pour and creates less mess, the product itself lasts longer.

Using the gas cap tether as an example, it saves my gas from evaporating as I drive off, saves me replacing my cap etc…

So these “small” changes to product design can make big differences.
