Abstract: In general, the present invention is directed to a decorative item including: a body, comprising a cavity therein, the cavity being viewable through an opening; a projector, including: a light source; and a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen; the projector disposed in the cavity, but not viewable through the opening; a transparent element, positioned in the cavity, such that the transparent element is viewable through the opening; and the transparent element configured to receive or reflect projections of images or animations from the projector.

Abstract: A toy is disclosed for a segmented tube track kit. The toy comprises a tube, comprised of reversibly attachable tubes. In one embodiment, the tube segments are held together frictionally. In another embodiment, tube segments are held together by locking mechanisms consisting of projections and cutouts. The toy vehicle in the kit has a drive wheel which is forced up away from the body of the car and against the inner walls of the tube by resilient members. In another embodiment, the vehicle has a tumbler wheel at the front of the car.
