I almost never shop there, but it's just the right distance for a good walk....</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/588/22632010-12-20T17:56:21Zdstb<p>Well, I think your first mistake might have been to go to Babies R Us (or Toys R Us). A smaller local toy store might have had something else to offer.</p> <p>It did make me curious about Lego though. When the boys were little, they had a product called Primo.</p> <p>http://www.amazon.com/Lego-1192-Primo-Block-Gift/dp/B00004TXZL/ref=sr_1_14/181-0578140-3923657?ie=UTF8&amp;s=video&amp;qid=1269378856&amp;sr=8-14?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=squidoo0c5-20</p> <p>Big, rounded-corner blocks perfect for little hands. It does not appear that they make them any more (we're going to be rich, we have some in our attic!)</p> <p>Anyway, I found this on Lego's message boards in answer to a question about manufacture: http://messageboards.lego.com/en-us/showpost.aspx?PostID=1822888</p> <p>It sounds like most parts are made in Europe or Mexico, but some of the electronics or textile pieces may be made in China. Easy enough to forgo those if you stick to basic building kits.</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/588/22622010-12-18T20:26:29ZSursumCorda<p>Funny! They're not made in China, either, although they probably would be, if they were made at all.</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/588/22612010-12-18T20:21:33ZDavid July<p>http://laughingsquid.com/bronte-sisters-power-dolls/</p>
