UPDATE!  GIVEAWAY CLOSED.  Winner selected by www.random.org was Kathy.

As Divina and I entered the 2010 Toy Fair in February we had to go through the usual machinations of signing in and then heading to the Press area to register and regroup. At the press desk one of the volunteers was swearing to him self playing with this orb like toy, he promised himself and the others around it that he would solve the puzzle before the end of the day. I am not sure if he was able to do it in the end, but I can say that the object of his frustrations caught my eye. The idea of the game was to maneuver a steal ball through a 3-D labyrinth flipping and sliding the ball in a number of different ways to coax the ball to its goal.

Not to get too mushy so early in the post, but Divina likes to say that we are soul mates.  Of course, I agree with her (in no small part due to self preservation), but there was an instant during our visit to the Toy Fair that made me hesitant momentarily, it was at the moment that I walked into the ThinkGeek both and display.  Not to freak those guys out too much (I don’t need another restraining order) but I ThinkGeek and I were made for each other or at least it was made for people like me.
