If I had the Delorean Time Machine, I would do it, just for fun

I was thinking this situation, travelling in time, like in that movie with the Doc, Marty Mcfly and their famous car, the Delorean. And the first memory that became to my head, if like my brain just went like 'hey, take this old memory I just bring back to you, from your childhood', was related to a particular set of toys that I got in 2009, the "Gogos". This toys series got a last name, originally they're known as "Gogos Crazy Bones" and, the game related to this mini-figures is the 'knucklebones' or 'jackstones', a game from the Former Greek (1200 BC- 146 BC). The dynamic of this dexterity game was throwing ankle bones (or astragalus) or just tiny things as dice, so you can reach a point series to win. For example, if I throw the 'gogo' and it lands showing its front, I win 2 points. When I was a kid I never played with my 'Gogos' like this jaja, but I remember that I loved to collect them all, and for this case, I would go to 2009, just for fun, and reach a 'kiosco' or stand to ask for a Gogos envelope or the sticker album that brings you an assemblable rocket for your mini-figures. Why? Well, I think this toy series is an historic one jaja, and specially for us, as anthropology and soon as archeology students, because the collecting, as a human behavior that can be found over our time, is also related to this toys, wich ones were a 'boom' in popularity and sells in the 2009 and onwards. This type of collecting is an interesting one, I wouldn't stay in the 2009 just for the Gogos jaja I like my life in the 2022 with my people but, I would search for that special paper rocket wich you could use for store your Gogos. That one brings me good memories and, out of joke, I consider interesting the idea of bringing back the collecting art involved into the acquiring Gogos, make an analysis and, If I could, make an investigation of it. Now, I'll show you a picture of the album that one day I had and wich brought the assemblable paper rocket, then a pic of the Gogos so you can meet them jaja:
