There are many treasures to be found in the cheap toys in fast food kids' meals. You can get useful switches, LEDs, complete electronic circuits, *batteries* and really interesting plastic housings, shapes and buttons. I recommend getting a set of "security" screwdriver bits to help you dismantle the toys (look for the triangular-head type, especially). And here's the kicker...the weird-looking security screws that you remove can be fantastic greeblies and components. Ready sources of these giveaway toys are garage sales and people at work. Trust me, parents are always willing to bag up these things and get them out of the house. |
