Yeah, that's the one I was talkin about, except the one I had was pink and yellow :oops: Complete waste of time if you want to use that for hackysack or footbag. Novelty purposes only.

These are the two clests things I have in terms of hacky sack. The smiley bag is just that; an empty shell. The Fuzzy Alpha is fully broken in with a few beads. Stalls pretty decent. They're both HUMONGOUS.

The old Hacky Sacks sure have turned in to expensive collectors items!

Some of the Hacky Sacks from my collection:

Image
My oldest Hack Sack. I'm not sure of the actual date of origin, but I'm pretty confident it was made in the 80s. My father originally showed it to me in an attempt to display hacky sack as a fun activity, needless to say this is not what got me to start playing footbag :wink:. It's probably the worst footbag I own, it plays horribly no matter what you try using it for. Mine seems to be at the extent of the break in process and it's still a rock. Not good for footbag, but it's still the jewel of my collection

Image
A generic white 8 panel Hacky Sack. One of the 8 panels (opposite the logo) is blue. It's about the size of most crocheted bags (2 1/4 diameter) and is relatively light. Plays all right for hacking, but not that well when it comes to freestyle.

Image
This 12 panel bag is made out of a pretty unforgiving vinyl material making it difficult to stall. It works alright in a hack circle though. I remember discussing how crappy I thought this bag was with James Risden and Tim Werner after Midwest regional 2002 and James shut my mouth by promptly hitting blurry whirl with it (which was a big move for us at the time)

Image
This is a 2001 Impact Hacky Sack still in it's original packaging. It's made up of 3 panels, the large white panel loops around the smaller blue and red panels.

Image
This is one of the more unique Hacky Sacks. It's an 8 panel bag where half of the panels are mesh and the other half are a very thin plastic like material. The filler is made up of small (1/4 inch) orange foam cubes, so the bag is very light despite it's 3 1/2 inch diameter. It's fun to play with because it's so huge and it floats, but it's definitely a novalty bag. It would be great for 4 square with the roulette rule in play.

Image
Ok, this one's not an actual Hacky Sack. The Hecky Sack is a promotional footbag given out by a BBQ resteraunt near my work. It's got the standard 2-panel design made out of thin vinyl, and is stuffed to the max with filler. The back of the bag says "Redeem for 10% off @ Hecky's" :-)
