What? not made in China?


Nick is getting some delightful Periodic Table Building Blocks for Christmas...thank you Think Geek!  They showed up yesterday and I was eager to take them out and play with them a bit to make sure they met my expectation of "awesome!"  I believe Patrick has seen through my thin veil, as in my main point to have a tiny minion is to play with the toys!!

I was baffled,  the blocks were handmade in the United States...what?  Really?  Something this awesome is still manufactured in the US?  In the end, I told Patrick we would have send the blocks back, as they were not dipped in the recommended lead paint, nor made in China.  Apparently Uncle Goose Toys also manufactures a few other things as well.  Wow, amazing!  Now I have two US companies to order from:  Marble King and Uncle Goose Toys.
