Early 2000s motorized road set
I'm trying to find a toy I had as a kid. I would have gotten it for Christmas sometime around **2002–2004**. Knowing my parents, it wouldn't have been overly expensive or special-ordered—it was definitely something bought right off the shelf at a standard store (like Walmart, Target, or Toys "R" Us).
Every time I search for it, I only get high-speed electric slot car sets, and this was definitely **NOT a racing set**.
**Here is exactly how it worked:**
* **The Track:** It came with a bunch of wide, plastic road pieces that were highly modular. They had realistic traffic lines painted on them and came in multiple styles (straights, curves, intersections) so you could build your own track.
* **The Grooves:** Instead of metal rails like a slot car track, the road just had two grooves in the plastic—one for each lane of traffic.
* **The Vehicles:** They were fairly large—maybe 5 or 6 inches long (roughly 1:32 scale, about the footprint of a modern smartphone). I remember there being multiple different styles of vehicles, including a semi-truck.
* **The Mechanics:** They were battery-powered (batteries went inside the cars) but NOT remote-controlled. When you switched them on, they would just move forward slowly.
* **The Guide Pin:** Underneath the cars, there was a plastic pin. You would place this pin inside the road groove, and the car would steer itself to follow the road layout.
Does anyone remember what this was called, or what store brand might have made it?

What is the purple vegetable?
My 1 year old received this vegetable garden pull toy for her birthday and I’ve identified all the veggies except this purple one on the right. I assume the one on the left is an eggplant, so what is this other one??
I don’t know the brand otherwise I would look it up. I’ve tried googling and have found similar ones but none with this mystery vegetable.

Crumbling sets and selling advice
I was looking for some advice as a first time seller. I wanted to sell my Ninjago City Gardens that I have had on display for a couple of years, the set itself seems fine however the temple side build that I have had in a drawer most of the time is crumbling and shattering heavily. I was considering rebuying all of the crumbling pieces but the more I look and handle it the more it seems like the majority of pieces are affected.
So I wanted to ask if it was valid to sell a bigger set like City Gardens missing a full build like this. It seems like buying all of the pieces to rebuild it from scratch would be too expensive to bother for a set I was hoping to sell. What would you do in the situation? Thank you for the help. 😀
