If You Build It...They Will Play


So, I never had any Erector sets when I was growing up. I don't know why. I had a plethora of toys, so I am definitely not complaining. But, when I was grown up, I looked back on occasion and wondered, "why no Erector in my life?" Maybe my parents didn't like small nuts and bolts around the house. Maybe they were not a bit fan of metallic toys in general. Maybe they never really gave it this much thought. Regardless, no Erector.

Now, though, through the magic and wonder of Town Square Toys, we have Erector sets aplenty! We have more Erector sets than you can shake a stick at! We have sets that they never dreamed of when I was a wee lad. There are motorized Erector sets. There are Erector sets that allow you to build all kinds of different models. There are even Erector sets that are made of plastic! That's right, now you don't have to worry about little nuts and bolts getting sucked up into the vacuum cleaner. Little hands make fast work of creating fantastical things with these new plastic Erector sets. I only wish they had been around when I was a kid. Sigh. Actually, I wish Town Square Toys had been around when I was a kid. Build away!
