@x1plus1x do you have to be so negative…critigue yes but come on
July 13, 2010
Your not really doing anything pro-actively to make the ball rise, or the fan blow. All you have to do is think about anything… Seems like a crock-o-crap to me. In other words, they could make it so any thought you have could make a computer do a task, one which is completely unrelated to the thought. More or less any brain activity makes the device turn on, and do whatever the device is designed to do.. I’m more impressed with the EKG than the ping-pong ball and fan.

This is so exciting. Not just for this toy but for what will come after this. Hihihihii!
July 13, 2010
lame…………….LAME!!! it would be great if no machine would be provided then it would be cool…….but this is just the machine doing it..

Can you just imaging the day where you focus your attention on a shape on the screen to log onto youtube? think of your password, see it in your mind, and you can log in!
July 13, 2010
You don’t have to, if you shop around you can get this for about $50 now so its a better deal.
July 13, 2010
omg that is so cool! … though i dont know if i would pay a bit over $100 for it…
July 13, 2010
play chess with that thing on
July 13, 2010
soon they’ll be putting them in schools so they shook you whenever your not thinkin bout math
July 13, 2010
NikoKun, you can forget mouse and keyboard’s, you can buy voice controlled device’s that can do it for you!
and have you seen the other mind control game’s, they are much better.
July 13, 2010
nooooooooooooo now they’ll be able to tell when i’m not really paying attention
lol
July 13, 2010
It’s here!
July 13, 2010
well put. It would be one thing if you put the head set on then make the ball move without a cylinder with a fan making pressure under a ping pong ball..
July 13, 2010
Looks shit haha
July 13, 2010
@cut22, so you’ll only be impressed if someone creates a device that magically defies physics? O_o
It’s pretty damn impressive that they’ve got a way to read brain activity, to control a device. Amazing technology right there.
Devices like this will become common place eventually. Forget about that keyboard and mouse, you’ll be typing and clicking buttons all with your thoughts someday.
I don’t see any way you can call this a “trick”.
July 13, 2010
it has to be plugged in dumbass, you control the machine with your brainwaves.
July 13, 2010
In other words it makes an electrical connection using the musculature in your forehead to have an electric motor create the force to levitate the ball. No trick, but no great accomplishment either. Show me a ball levitating without the device. Then I’ll be impressed

Stumbled from NV
July 13, 2010
its fuckin pluged in
July 13, 2010
That is so great! Just like my Christmases. I still remember opening my Droid Factory and my 3-position Laser Rifle! and loads of the figures.
July 13, 2010

July 13, 2010
Awesome video! I remember many Xmas mornings like this. Between Star Wars and Mego superheroes I was one happy kid. Wicked to see the memories online.
July 13, 2010
Those kids had parents who loved them.
July 13, 2010
looks like a race lmao
July 13, 2010
OMG jealous !!!
July 13, 2010
This was back when Star Wars was cool and you did not care about what is was worth. I was 11 years old in Xmas ’78 and it was just like this.
July 14, 2010
WOW That had to be the Best Christmas ![]()
Great Video Thanks for Posting
Star Wars is FOREVER
July 14, 2010
Hey are those Underoos? Hheheh JK. Classic Christmas memories for those kids.
July 14, 2010
This is absolutely awesome.
July 14, 2010

July 14, 2010

July 14, 2010
Wow – these kid’s parents must have been rich!
July 14, 2010
it was an awesome generation! Better then now. Toys when I was a kid were built to last. I have a daughter and it shocks me how toys we buy her, no matter the price break so easy.
July 14, 2010
That was awesome and excellent times. Christmas of 1979 I was less then a month away from 6 and I remember it well….Star Wars was always my favourite toys (even now as an adult I still collect Star Wars). Great video, 5/5
July 14, 2010
I wish I could have been apart of that generation
July 14, 2010

July 14, 2010

July 14, 2010
I fought tooth and nail to get that death star play station and all i got was the star wars board game.Now I know why, These two guys got it all.
July 14, 2010
Holy Shit! I wonder what collector has that blue sanggletooth, he’s still out there somewhere! Crazy
July 14, 2010
Who are they? the Rockefellers? What a tour de force of Xmas gifts…If a time machine were invented some “comic book guy” would no doubt go back in time and grinch those toys before they boxes were torn asunder rather than altering some major historical event….What great memories…
July 14, 2010
Very cool video! I do a weekly show here on youtube that’s all about vintage Star Wars toys. It’s called “Vintage Star Wars Weekly”. You should check it out sometime.
