2002 style. Remember Battling Tops when we were kids? Check em out nowadays. I almost bid on one of these on ebay just for the novelty factor. I used to love battling tops when I was young. Somehow I never ended up with a set but several of my neighbors had them and I used to battle all the time. These seem much more….robust is the word I guess. Plus complicated. Still, in concept it seems promising for kids.
