^This was work! We've just returned form the American Specialty Toy Retailers Association (ASTRA) trade show in Philadelphia (where it was, in fact, always sunny). We shopped thousands of toys, played dozens of games, and solved bunches of puzzles--just so we can find all the most awesomest stuff for you. Yes, it's hard work. But we think you deserve it! New toys will be crashing through our doors in the coming weeks. New Ghibli plush, awesome new slime kits, fidget toys (of course!), yo yos, RC cars, and lots of games. Follow us on the Instagram & you'll be the first to know when they arrive!

True story:

A long time ago, in a Woolworths store far far away (the late great Brookdale Mall...) Dan wanted a Star Wars lunchbox. I mean, he really wanted it. But his Dad, in his wisdom, knew that what Dan really needed was the Metric System Lunch Box. Yes, the very lunch box at the top of the list of all-time worst lunchboxes.

Naturally, Dan encountered much ridicule at school. But eventually he learned that it was ok to be a little weird. That being a bit brainy could be cool. And he learned how many millimeters there are in a meter. His Dad wasn’t wrong after all.

But still, he always wanted that Star Wars lunchbox.

So today, at Mischief, Dan finally got his wish. And not just Star Wars, but Empire Strikes Back, which is just a little bit cooler because Dad issues.
