Where can I pick up a Slinky?

The title pretty much speaks for itself, but if anyone knows where I can pick up a Slinky around Chicago, please let me know. A quick "yes" would be great! Ideally, if anyone has spotted an old-school metal one lately, that would be the absolute dream... for those who aren't quite sure what I'm talking about 😁

I see plastic ones sitting on the stands all the time, but I’ve been hunting for a metal one for ages now. 😢

So you guys saw 😁
at the junkyard? 😁I actually spotted a metal one over in Phoenix a few years back 😁

🤣
Slinky, slinky, go Slinky, go! :ace ventura rules: 😍
I’ve actually got one at home—it's all multicolored and I've had it for over a decade! It isn't even the metal kind! 🙂

It would be pretty sweet if I had, say, a 200-foot staircase right in my living room... but then again, I’d just spend all day constantly running up and down just to toss it down and watch it tumble. Not exactly a great use of time, 😬

LOL 😁 Mile, are you actually listening to Barbie Girl? (And trust me, I'm not asking just for the hell of it 😁)

If you are (which basically means you're that kid who was already bugging me about the Slinky), then let me tell you once and for all: you can find them at bookstores, gift shops, and all that other junk 😁

Barbie Girl is such a bop... lol
And honestly? That’s me. Let's be real here... you know I only ever blast this song when I'm with you. 😉

Oh yeah, baby 👍

there's an elevator 🙂

from: they'll sell you anything if they wrap it in enough flashy packaging 🤷

Well, look who it is... haven't seen you in a century 😬

Actually, even if there is an elevator, it wouldn't matter much because the stairs run diagonally while the lift moves horizontally. If we're talking about 200 of those steps—you know, the actual treads you walk on—you'd probably spend more time trekking from the staircase just to reach the elevator entrance anyway. 😁

And what on earth are "sheets"? Besides the ones you put on a bed, I mean. 😕

re: well, if there's an elevator, it doesn't matter—stairs go up, elevators go sideways. plus, if they've got 200 steps, you'll be walking forever just trying to reach the lift anyway😁

and what exactly are "sheets"? besides the ones on a bed...😕

seriously, you and I are two different people—we haven't talked in at least two months, if not longer... 😲

re: sure, but then there are those escalators that move by themselves 🙂

mistymarlin6 said:well, sure, but then you'd have those moving staircases that shift on their own

Now you've actually given me an idea. We’d need a tiny little escalator—maybe just five steps. If we calculate the frame rate of the video and sync the movement of the stairs to that speed... then the Slinky would essentially be falling down the stairs while staying in the exact same spot. It drops from the third step to the second, then the second rises back up to the level of the third, and it just loops indefinitely. 😍 I suppose the challenge would be figuring out how to actually pull that off. 😬

You can pick one up at the Mall of America over at the Target store. They actually carry the original metal 😉

awwww Slinky 😍
I want one too.

Yeah, and then the price hits you $23. I was genuinely planning on pulling the trigger, but once I saw the tag... honestly, no 🙂

Let’s breathe some life back into this thread!

Does anyone know where I can pick up some metalwork besides the Mall of America? They don't carry 😢
anymore.
Please help! 😁

Who's there?

Edit: Just saw the comments above. Not so sure now. 🤷

I'm done ordering from them. They told me 😢

Found this on Google😁
