Claim:
A toy system comprising: a body including at least a first part with at least one end; the first part has an interior space; a second part that is at least partially in the interior space; a spring biasing the part and the second part away from each other; a piece separate from the body supportable on a surface; the separate piece substantially defining a non-collapsible opening; the second part not at least partially in the interior space being insertable into the opening substantially defined by the separate piece without engaging the separate piece; the at least one end of the first part being insertable into the opening; the first part engaging the separate piece to retain the separate piece on the body; and the first part being telescopically moveable over the second part, against the spring biasing, into engagement with the opening substantially defined by the separate piece to pick up and retain the separate piece when the spring biasing moves the first part away from the second part.
