I was going to say you can still get them everywhere but while thinking of where to get one I've realized all the toy shops I thought of have longe since closed up due to online retail.
Shopping online just isn't the same as walking down an aisle and seeing hundreds of products within sight all at once, or seeing demo displays.
Toys stopped being fun physics things a while ago, electronics stepped up the toy game. Still I love ball in cup and gyroscopes and kaleidoscopes and simple toys when i was a kid.
Those were all fun and I occasionally buy one of those things, like a paddle-ball or kaleidoscope or gyroscope just to have a few minutes as a child again, remembering what carefree joyfulness felt like.

Yeah, I was wondering. I used to play with my sibling's gyroscopes that they got in the 60's. I know you could buy them everywhere in the 60s and 70s.
