Entex Giant Pre-School Loc Blocs
Entex Giant Pre-School Loc Blocs
(Magazine ad, 1981)
Okay, so we have another LEGO clone... whose main selling point is that the blocks can be cleaned up easily... because they come in a convenient bucket?
First of all, when did the existence of "a bucket" ever increase a child's tendency to want to clean up her toys, and secondly... didn't LEGO bricks come in buckets?
According to The Lego Book by Daniel Lipkowitz...
...LEGO brick buckets didn't become a thing until 1987!
Also, I'm pretty sure that kid is trying to wring that chicken's neck.
