1. An amusement device having an assembly positioned in a toy, said amusement device comprising:

  • a toy;

    an assembly frame held by said toy, said assembly frame having a floor, a right side and a left side and a front;

    a wafer battery held by said assembly frame having an upper face and a lower face and having a positive terminal on one face and a negative terminal on the other face;

    a light emitting diode held by said frame having a light emitting portion from which an upper and a lower metallic lead extend in a generally horizontal manner, said upper and lower leads having end termini and a space between them and said light emitting diode being positioned so that the wafer battery is held in said space between the leads so that the upper metallic lead is above the wafer battery and the lower metallic lead is below and in contact with the lower face of the wafer battery; and

    a movable weight movably held by said assembly frame so that it can move up and down, said movable weight being positioned so that it is resting on without attachment and supported by said upper metallic lead and its weight is not sufficient to move the upper metallic lead into contact with the upper face of the wafer battery but when the amusement device is moved upwardly, the inertial force on the movable weight, causes the weight to push the upper lead into electrical contact with the upper face of the wafer battery thereby completing a circuit and lighting the light emitting diode.
