Help - Looking for the name of a toy seen on TV

[sharrona]

My son has deceided that he wants this toy we saw on TV, I was only half paying attention, so needless to say I don't really know the name of the toy. He calls it speedball, tried googling it but it doesn't come up. From what I remember you put a ball into these plastic tubes and couldn't remember if it was remote control or you had to try and get the ball into a container or what. Any help would be appreciated.

I'll keep my hears open on the commercials. I have tivo so I can rewind if I hear anything similar.

Fushigi Ball?? maybe I never watch TV so I am not sure.. I came across these the other day.

[celestiaann]

mindflex maybe?? you put a ball into a tube and use your "mindpower" to levitate it??

[davephillyj]

I bet it is the mindflex. Go yo youtube and pull up the commercial and see if that's it

Could also be Star Wars the Force Trainer. http://ak.buy.com/PI/0/250/212651964.jpg

I know it is not mindflex or the fushigi ball.

I know you put the ball in a tube, don't know for sure if you raced someone or what the real purpose of it is.

I think you can only order it on line or on the phone.

I wouldn't normally worry, but this is the toy he told his teacher he wants. UGGGHHH

Have you tried looking on one of those "as seen on tv" websites if you can only order it online or by phone?

[davephillyj]

you can go to http://www.asseenontv.com/ and that will have most everything that is sold on the TV to surf instead of waiting on the tv to cycle through!

Thanks for all the help. I finally found it, It is called Super Ball Raceway from Have a Blast Toys. Just my luck they are sold out and don't expect any before Christmas. Maybe the Speed Ball from Target will work as a fill-in, have to think about it. Merry Christmas everyone.

Tried to place order, get to the order form and it doesn't go any further.

I called the 1-800 number and they have a recording they won't have any before Christmas and aren't accepting orders.

Sorry! I wish they would just update their website and let you know that instead of having "order now".. frustrating.
