I had one of these, it must have been around 1990. I could have sworn it was called a "
Wizard top". It was a spinning top that had some gyroscopes or something in it. The tip was slightly seperate from the main part, so you could run it across the ground it really fast a bunch of times to "charge" it up, and then it would spin for a really long time, like several minutes. If I remember correctly, the upper end I think had different attachments, you could put it on a string and make it go back and forth, because it could even balance upside down.
But in all the web searching I've done, I can't come up with anything remotely similar for "Wizard top"... But it's a pretty generic term.
Pretty sure I got it at toys r us sometime around 1990. Might have been as early as 88 or as late as 92 though
Does anybody remember this? Or used to have one and can confirm what it was called? Because I've really been missing this and hoping I could get one on ebay for my son.
