Do they still make the original Viewmaster?

I went to the official site and all the Viewmaster viewers are all really lame.

Is the classic style viewer out of production?

Hmmmm....

If they don't, they WILL once the big budget movie comes out.

*sigh*

Yes the classic style is gone (and only in the last 5 years), the new ones are still optical and light but the layout has changed a bit the photo disc feeds from the top now

Won't matter. From what I've heard,all of Viewmaster is going bye-bye.

Newspaper article. Said they can't compete with stuff like TV,video games and the internet. They'll slowly start to phase everything out.

I will miss View Master. I still have a bunch of my old reels and I still look at them occasionally. I really enjoy the "real" ones now like "Grand Tour of Europe". I wish I had more than one reel of that one, but I lost 2 of them as I grew up.

That's sad, I always enjoyed those as a kid

Everyone thinks that kids won't go for this sorta thing b/c of video games, and so forth. I have a set of about 50 or so newer ones at my school and both the pre-schoolers and after school group love them. They'll say things like "Which one are you watching?" like it's TV. They'll sit there engaged for like 20 mins. w/ these things.
