oh god, space hoppers - there's a blast from the past. Got bursted of these so many times, actually that's probably your answer, too many people got hurt on them when they were younger and now won't buy them for their kids. But they were kinda fun.

Haven't seen space hoppers or lolo balls around but the pogo sticks are all over the place. Though they do seem to have been upgraded by having double pistons. Try any branch of Smiths toys
