And those little suction cup/spring/plastic base thingies that when you press
down and wait an indeterminate length of time then shout with glee when they pop
up!

Oh to be young again...

Waittaminit...

Or a spring tractor.

Spring tractor?  Not sure what you mean.

Would pull-back/wind-up toys be considered spring toys?

And, I keep thinking about those dogs you can pull around with a Slinky for a
body.  I guess those are just Slinkys, also.

Well, if they use a clock spring...like the one in the video, sure.  Actually a
lot of the "antique toys" at that show (and I mean Antique versus whatever
people pulled from their basements) are spring driven toys like those.

I love them.  I don't know what it is, but they're great.  I usually hate Canada
too, except during the Olympics, when I'm in the States, or when I'm travelling
abroad.

I'm considering ordering the DVD, but I haven't found anyone nuts enough who'd
want the DVD too.
