Does this come with a case to hold the pegs?

Hi there, thank you for your inquiry on the latest version of Lite Brite! This particular version was inspired by the original which does not come with a storage case but rather a baggie with a closure that can be opened & closed to store & keep your pegs. This new & improved Lite Brite is brighter, has more pegs (over 200) & templates (6) with redesigned pegs that are now glossier! The button is on the back and a stand has been added to sit the Lite Brite up on a table while working or lay it down for lap or floor working. The face on the tablet is bigger for more room to create art with light! This style Lite Brite has a Refill pack to fit it - located here: https://www.amazon.com/Basic-Fun-Lite-Brite-Template-Refill/dp/B07FFHPY7X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539791692&sr=8-1&keywords=lite+brite+basic+fun+refill+packs if you ever want to expand your peg or template quantity. Also - you can go to www.Basicfun.com for more templates to download for free. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email us at CustomerService@Basicfun.com & enjoy! - Basic Fun

It looks like you don't need to use a sheet of blank black paper if you just wanted to create your own design, is this true?

This is true. The entire thing is black and the holes are actually covered - it’s hard to describe. They only open when you put a peg in them. But yes, you could freehand any design you want with no black paper. Since I’m assuming you remember the old ones I’ll also say - It doesn’t plug into the wall, just battery powered which makes the light nowhere near as bright as it used to be. Parts of the design don’t light up well due to this.

what kind of batteries does this take?

Hi there, the Lite Brite Ultimate Classic takes 3 AA batteries (not included). When you press the button, it lights up in 4 different styles from flashing to pulsing - enjoy making art with Lite! Let us know if you have any further questions by emailing us at customerservice@basicfun.com!

This is the oldschool type where you push the peg throught the paper sheet into the lamp piece correct? 90's kid talking here :)

None of them are like the oldest of old school Lite Brite’s which I had. When Lite Brite first came out in 1967, the pegs were triangular in shape, not round. Of course the screen you put the pegs in also had triangular shaped holes for the pegs. The round peg didn’t come out until later in the 1970’s, but they’ve been around so much longer than the triangular shaped pegs, most people only remember the round shape. You punched the peg through the pattern placed under the screen. Lite Brite was always one of my favorite toys. It provided countless hours of fun!

Not cheaply made

Total throw back and exactly how I remember it. I got it for my 4yr old. I think she is a bit too young for it. It was hard grabbing the pieces off of the board and hurts your fingers. Better suited for my 8yr old

9 year old LOVES...LOVES this Lite-Brite!!

My 9 year old insisted that I wrote a 5 star review with SPECIFICS on this Lite-brite: -It is so much fun to create with -The colors are bright and fun and pretty -There is a built-in stand so you can display your creation -It has a battery-saver feature that allows you to display or use as nite lite and it will turn off automatically -The templates are fun and easy to use AND also fun and easy to make YOUR OWN creations. My 9 year old played with this every day since Christmas and she LOVED making a New Year's Day display on our "Food Island"! I was SO impressed with this Lite-brite!

Great Christmas gift!

My granddaughter loved getting this retro Lite Brite for Christmas. She loves creating the pictures using all of the colorful pegs. We had fun playing with this together. It was easy to use. It can be propped up to display your picture. I bought extra templates, as it only comes with six. It’s a nice gift and a good value for the money.

Nostalgic

This is a simple, fun toy that encourages creativity and keeps kids busy. My kids really enjoy it. It’s easy to use and has that classic look many adults remember from our childhood. The pegs are small and can be a little tricky to handle, but overall it works well and is enjoyable to use.

Still a Classic

Our 2 Granddaughters love this and I enjoyed introducing them to an oldie but a goodie! One complaint. It's very hard to see the light through the pegs when the board is standing up. The girls kept placing it flat on the table to be able to really see the light coming through as the picture was formed.
