I like this idea, put minifigs in bubblegum machines. Every store has a
set with at least 4 or 6 machines. And if you've got cats, you can use
the little plastic cases they come in for cat toys, that's a win win
situation for me :)
If course, I'd always have to make a stop at the bank for 5.00 worth of
quarters before going grocery shopping...
I can see this working for Minifigs easily, and cheaply for Lego. Of
course, I'd like to see it be 80% female figs and 20% male ones.
I can't see it working for bricks. at .50 a pop, I'm not willing to pay
.25 a brick, Unless... they put in all 1x1 or 1x2 plates and fill the
"egg" with them.
I believe parents would rather give a kid 2 quarters for something that
isn't candy.
Just my .02 bricks worth :)
