Remember Lite-Brite? It was among our favorite childhood toys in the 80's. We tried out the "new and improved" version to see how it compares to the classic toy we loved as kids.

The only instructions were how to put in the batteries. That was it! I was about to pry with force the screen to open it up. It doesn't open, of course. This video saved the day for me. But there was only a two second reference to the holes "sealing up". I would have liked to have seen a demonstration of the thing actually working that way.

It’s an interesting design for sure, totally unexpected! I’m glad we were able to help out though. Thanks for watching!

@TerryT1976 3 года назад

Hi there! Just got this today after wanting this for a while. Yes, it’s smaller with less colors (red and violet) than the older version but I just love the multifunctional options. I loved this as a kid as it reminds me of a mini version of the Main Street Electrical Parade and Electrical Water Pageant.

I know it's just a kid's toy, and that my high school graphic design classes are likely causing me to be a bit biased, but the lack of red baffles me. Imagine trying to make a cherry and it ends up looking like a ball of chewed gum with a stem because the closest you had was pink. That aside...DEAR GOD, THE NOSTALGIA.

I don't like that there is no way to lock the template in place. Otherwise its great.

@Our80sLife Год назад

I get what you're saying. The original model had those little tabs on the sides, but this one doesn't. I think you can just add your first couple of pegs on the outer portions of the design, and those will hold the template in place.

@secludedmisanthrope6388 3 года назад

Wow did my mom regret getting me this toy when I was a kid. It only worked well in the dark, so I would constantly turn all the lights off in whatever room or area of the house I was using the Lite Brite in, be it night or day. It really pissed my dad off when I did it during a Houston Rockets game, this was the early 80s. She found the Etch A Sketch a far less irritating toy, she got me this to shut me up when I got chickenpox the next year...

@Our80sLife 3 года назад

Oh my!! We've never had much success drawing on the Etch-a-Sketch, but I've seen some neat designs. That thing is a lesson in patience, lol!

@secludedmisanthrope6388 3 года назад

@@Our80sLife In the mid 80s Etch-a-Sketch made these clear sheets of projector paper with connect the dots, mazes and simple puzzles on them that you could put on the "screen" and use the knobs to complete the designs. Now that I'm describing this, I'm realizing that the toys I grew up around sucked compared to stuff available now...

@gildersleevefan67 3 года назад

I'm pretty sure they came with Bozo the Clown and Bugs Bunny patterns in the 70s when I had one. That was one of those toys that after begging for Santa Claus to bring it, you pleayed with it a few times and never touched it again. Too long to plug in the pegs, and after plugging it in, it was kind of so-so to look at it. Then you had to gather up all the pegs and put them in the right box.

If they had designs on them, I think mom and dad cheaped out and just got black paper....hmmmm... Thanks for going down memory lane today!

We had another viewer who told us his mom took away his Lite-Brite because she was worried it would cause a house fire, eek! I think it was just a standard light bulb, but they did get hot. After all, the Mini-Bake Oven was powered by a light bulb, and that thing could bake a cake, lol!

I just got a used one of these that is in great condition. However, I don't like how these don't stay lit. They eventually turn off. I wish there was a setting where it would stay on due to I display my child's creations like art. I have a Christmas tree he made on the original one that we have not changed in years. He doesn't want me to change it and the light stays on like a lamp so that I can display it.
