    I don't think this item has ever been this price before. Been around for decades and I still know it as the closest thing to a gun when I was 5yo.

    These were the bane of many a primary school teacher. How can you teach kids their times tables when they are making elaborate guns with connector pens?

      The "wrist-mounted Gatling Gun" design was a personal favourite of mine.

      The "spider web" on the underside of a glue stick trend was much worse.

    Can remember making guns with these in primary school, lol.

  • Anyone remember the jumbo ones that would make louder click-clack sounds?

    • Yep. Perfect for gutting it out and replacing it with a USB stick.

      As I call it… The USB Pen!

  • Reminds me of the good old days when just the name made me excited.

  • I didn't know about ones ability to make toy guns with these pens but that must be why our school has specifically said no connecter textas just basic ones on our year 2 school supplies list

      Ah, your child must go to 'Nanny State Primary School' then? They are also introducing strict internet filtering in all classrooms, speed limits in the corridors and an increase of 15% to GST charges at the tuck shop.

      • In my primary school, we had speed limits and 'walk only' areas.

          We had a "no hat no play" circle drawn underneath one of the shelters that you had to stay in if you forgot your school hat. The problem was that in the afternoon, the sun would shift so that the circle was in the sun…

        • Ha ha yes our school also has the same no hat no play rule too with the same problem lol

    I didn't make guns with these. It was always a spaceship. I should've made guns, feel like I've wasted my youth :(

    I remember when my fingers were small enough that I could re-enact scenes from Edward Scissorhands with these.

    These textas are the best quality - they last forever! Although my daughter goes to the school where they banned footballs in the playground so I dont think she would be allowed to have these at school lol.

    • We had a rule that you had to have a 'ball' to be on the oval, can't sit there.
