Kelloggsville,
Just wait until the ‘No Win, No Fee’ brigade hear about all the damage done to the minds of children forced to ride Orinoco Space Hoppers! You could be the test case!! I reckon there must be just short of 5 grand in a legal claim of that nature! Hahaha.

I wasn’t alone http://tvcream.squarespace.com/toy-list/spacehopper.html – there is a comment in here about it – It was a red Orinoco – it was the most uncool space hopper ever – I was gutted – in fact I am going to buy myself a real one for closure on this clearly still raw childhood wound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kelloggsville,
I had no idea they made womble space hoppers! I’m just going through a list of their names in my mind right now, and I can only come up with three – no wait, four – ah, happy times!
What would really make me laugh is if I got a womble one for my birthday! A forty year old man riding round on a womble would be cause for much p*ss taking.

I had a womble one when everyone else has the orange one (and it wasn’t retro then) – I really really wanted an orange proper one. My dad used to pump mine up at the local garage – I guess that isn’t allowed now!!!! and if you get one for your birthday that’s not fair and I want one too!!!!
