Abstract: The present invention is directed to a randomizing mechanism for use in game play involving a plurality of toy figures each having a corresponding game piece having indicia disposed thereon containing information relating the components of the corresponding toy figure. The randomizing mechanism may be adapted to be manipulated by a player of the game play, and the randomizing mechanism may include an outer housing, a cylinder disposed and rotatable within the housing which may be adapted to receive a plurality of the game pieces therein, and the housing being adapted so that the indicia of a game piece received in the cylinder is visible from the exterior of the housing. The randomizing mechanism may further include an input member operatively connected to the cylinder that may have a first position and a second position, wherein movement of the input member from the first position to the second position may cause the cylinder to rotate.

Abstract: A flight vehicle toy includes a pair of vehicles driven about a support stand in a simulated race or "dog" fight through support arms which are rotated from a pair of coactial shafts in the support stand. The toy vehicles are mounted on the support arms through a release mechanism such that when one vehicle imparts the vehicle in front of it during play the front vehicle will be disengaged from its support arm and propelled out of the game. The speed of the respective vehicles can be independently varied by the players and the support arms are dimensioned such that the vehicles can pass above or below one another at all positions during play of the game, except when the vehicles are on a collision course. And, a separate control for the drive motors rotating the arms varies the relative speeds of the two vehicles automatically during the game.
