Andyman Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 My younger brother got all kinds of Micronaut toys for Christmas with springs removed and missiles glued in place. Me and another brother freed the missiles and insert springs from click pens to get them back in working order. Then my younger brother went and shot his eye out.
