This helped to pay our rent!
This is a Lego brick. My husband Allen and I had a toy store in New Kensington, Pa. I would say that about 25%
of our store was allocated to Lego...motorized and manuel. We carried a complete line, in fact, the only toy we ordered direct from the manufacturer...and it was made by the Samsonite people.
One brick fit inside the other and a child's imagination could conquer anything he wanted to create.
People would walk into our store and say....I have a 6 year old who has no attention span, although he's brilliant. What would you recommend I buy him.
We were considered the specialists. That's why they came to us instead of K-Mart. We gave individual attention even though our prices were competitive.
Well, we ushered them right to Lego...and weeks later, that same customer would return just to give us rave revues.
Actually we were such a good customer that the Lego People put a big motorized windmill in our big front window. It almost caused accidents.
People did a double take....was that really moving around???
Downtown Orlando has a massive building called Legoland....and it's really magical.
All this was a long time ago, in my life, but the memories are all so very clear.
I just loved that part of my life ... making kids happy~
