A Seven-Year Old Boy’s Top Secret LEGO Plans

Seven-year-old Quaid Guarino has been in the news lately for something we can’t
tell you about. Well, sort of.
Quaid’s a fascinating kid: he has a budget for LEGO bricks and goes
bargain-hunting on eBay, and has built Star Wars replicas on his own, among
other things. He owns piles and piles of LEGO bricks and 400-piece sets are a
cinch for him. But what got him into the news is something a little more unique.
In March, Quaid came up with a totally new way to play with our favorite plastic
bricks. Not only that, but he Googled LEGO, sent them an e-mail and the
president of LEGO responded! He’s since signed a contract with LEGO and is in
negotiations, so he’s not allowed to say what his new discovery is.
What everyone wants to know, of course is: what is this totally new way to play
with LEGOs? Is he melting them down and molding them into action figures? Is he
combining them with pipe cleaners and egg cartons? Does his cat figure into the
deal?
What do you think, dear readers? Leave your ideas in the comments or better yet,
send an e-mail to the president of LEGO and maybe you can get a contract, too!
Check out Quaid’s mom’s blog on Raising Maine, with links to other news stories
about Quaid.
