Domino Rally was a craze for about 6 months. The TV advert featured an enormous domino display with helter skelters, pirate ships and loads of dominos. I remember thinking, "I really want one of those!".The actual Domino Rally, though, was a bit of a disappointment. The dominos were made of very light plastic and didn't always fall over when another domino hit them. More importantly, the edges where they had come out of the mould were bumpy, and so some of them didn't even stand up! I remember I had the helter skelter in my set, and the dominos didn't slide down properly without a push from me!I managed to make a good couple of displays, but the rest were thwarted by poor manufacturing. A shame really, since this should really have been a simple yet brilliant kid's toy.
