This from another list: -------- "This came from a friend of mine. I hadn't heard about it, but its very real. Makes me think that there are some really interesting possibilities for RPG toy tie-ins. Think of the fun toys one could associate with LA for instance...
Anyway, enjoy... Robin Here's one that has been circulating around the web recently. It seems Mattel came out with a "Nimbus 2000" broomstick as seen in last year's block-buster movie HARRY POTTER. This toy features special effects including: magical swooping and whooshing sounds and also a vibrating feature provided by three AA batteries. Remember, this is a toy broom...that you are supposed to ride...by putting it between your legs. I found an Amazon.com web page for the "Nimbus 2000 Broom" that showed customer comments along the lines of... "My 12 year old daughter is a big Harry Potter fan, and loved the part with the Nimbus 2000, so I decided to buy her this toy. I was afraid she would think it was too babyish, but she LOVES this toy. Even my daughter's friends enjoy playing with this fun toy. I was surprised at how long they can just sit in her room and play with this magic broomstick!" And... "When my 12 year old daughter asked for this for her birthday, I kind of wondered if she was too old for it, but she seems to LOVE it. Her friends love it too! They play for hours in her bedroom with this great toy. They really seem to like the special effects it offers (the sound effects and vibrating). My oldest daughter (17) really likes it too! I reccomend this for all children." And... "This toy was #1 on my daughter's Christmas list. So what the heck, I figured it would be good for imaginative play. It wasn't until after she opened her gift and started playing with it that I realized the toy VIBRATES when they put it between their legs to fly. Come on---what were the creators of this toy thinking? She'll keep playing with the Nimbus 2000, but with the batteries removed."
