Most of these I picked up at thrift shops for a buck or two. Multiple copies were super when I worked as a camp counselor. I sold my Battling Tops and Hawaiian Punch games when I found out they would bring top dollar on eBay. Not sure what happened to my Rock-em Sock-ems. I think I lost them in a move, maybe.

What's your favorite board game?

    I know there are records and textbooks. They are called the letter people, yes. I learned to read by watching their videos and reading their books, so I was pretty happy to find that set at my local thrift store. My favorites are "S" and "T"

    I think you can buy new letter people products here. I see the blow ups pictured on this page, but all I see for sale are cloth puppets. Maybe I'm not looking in the right spot:

    Here are a couple more links with general information:
