  I just realized this series is “the toys that made us” of the niche toys we grew up with in the 2000s

  I remember constantly thinking: “Oh my god! How is such high technology being sold in Walmart?! This is like beyond military grade, what??”.

  Story time:<br>I was the spy-kid generation.<br>We had team-VS-team matches with friends, but often we&apos;d just spy on our family.<br>We were using a periscope and listening device to try and see what out parents were up to... In their bedroom... At night...<br><br>My dad kindly asked us not to spy on &quot;mommy and daddy when they were alone&quot;.<br>I asked why, and he told answered &quot;Well... what if we&apos;re wrapping birthday presents?&quot;.<br><br>I didn&apos;t know how close I was to spying something that could only be erased with years of therapy.

  I loved &quot;spy gear&quot; so much that I became a literal intelligence officer when I grew up....only to learn that there are no gadgets and just a bunch of power point.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYNpbd4FUbE&amp;t=458">7:38</a> &quot;This is not meant for an adult&quot;. I can confidently tell you it was not made for kids either, my big brother had it, he was 12 and I was 9, and whoever wore it had to take it off due to it horribly pressing our temples, it felt like the glasses were trying to crush your head

  So fun story about Spy Gear.<br><br>Back in the early 2000s my friends and I were hard into the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG. Spy Gear had a metal detector. And back then all the good YGO cards were foil. We would raid Targets, Toys R Us, and buy booster boxes and use the device to pull all the foils. For the booster boxes, we would get all the foils and sell the other packs.<br><br>Good times.

  The audio listening device was for listening through walls, not listening to things far away

  True story: I once owned the spy gear night vision goggles like in the video, then in 2003, when I wanted to dress as a Jawa, my dad hacksawed off a pair of orange medicine bottles and stuck them over the goggles&apos; lights. It was awesome. He even threw in a prop ion gun made of cans and duct tape.
