nostalgic classic magnetic gyro wheel toy of lost decade

growing up in 80's was very fun atleast for us we used to play whole lot of games on streets than home unlike today's kids who are addicted to computer and indoor games and have become couch potatoes and yes toys and comics was our one stop gap of enjoyment and we were annoying our parents for it alteast every now and then.

I was born and bought up in Bangalore and jayanagar 4th block and gandhibazar was my week end Disney land these places where so much happening it was a great place to shop and streets and shops were filled with all sorts of toys from mini working steam boat, water guns, classic car toys to gyro magnetic wheels etc and cotton candies for time pass it was all in 80's and early 90's.

And today when i walk in same streets all i can find is pirated CD's for Sony psp and Xbox,PC game Cd's and some cheap Chinese toys, and really tons of toy's really was out of chart! whats more i was not able to find even cotton candies on the street, to hell with the internet generation, Internet has really snatched all the fun we had from our present generation kids.

The reason to write this post is while browsing for something i came across below pic

Which triggered my retro memories of this nostalgic piece of toy which i used to have and played all times, really when i tried to find this classic toy in Bangalore i was not able to find one if any of you guys reading this know where we can find it in Bangalore do comment here.
