Hello Everyone,
I'm not sure if this is the right group for this post, but I think it's
close. My apologies in advance if this has already been mentioned in
another group. I didn't see it anywhere, so I thought I'd bring it up.
I saw a show on A&E today, claiming to list the Top Ten best toys. You'll
never guess what was missing....
[The hum and clatter of guesses being bandied about.]
Yup, LEGO was nowhere to be seen, despite the inclusion of Erector and
Lincoln Logs; so construction systems were definitely in.
However, it seems that several LEGO fans have jumped to the defence of our
favorite plastic brick, in the posting area on the A&E website. If you're
interested, here's the URL:

Yours truly made a verbose posting, but did remember to put in a plug for
LEGO.
Best Regards,
Allan
