ÜBERSTIX – You need to recycle to use these kits/toys

2272824761 6Ce8A1Ba28
@The NYC Toy fair 2008 I met with the ÜBERSTIX folks, they make toys/kits that you need to recycle other things to build. Straws, ice cream sticks, paper clips, water bottles, egg cartons and more. Pictured here is a ship you build and use tossed cups/bottles to make it float, along with other trashed items to build the sail and more. It’s called the Scavenger, nice.

They also make ÜBERARC” – it’s for budding architects, students and engineers – you can construct giant “emerald city” looking structures, unlike other building systems you get real blueprints in a tube.
