We just bought this for the 5-year-old nieces for Christmas this year.

Cute ad. It's kind of a shame that the toy involved doesn't look all that fun.

See, that was my thought anyway, but if you visit their site it does appear that it's something of a hit with 6-9 year old girls. I'm a poor judge of what would appeal to that target audience.

I'm shocked that the toy company's website makes it look like the target market likes the toys. It's almost like they're trying to sell stuff.

Found this in an old tab (yep) and tried to watch, but Youtube tells me that the video is private. :-(

Oh well. I'm guessing that it was something interesting....

So it is; sorry about that.

Here's the original site: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/16029337/goldieblox-the-engineering-toy-for-girls

The video was likely removed because it used a version of a Beastie Boys song, which caused a bit of a kerfuffle.

This was awesome. It did help that it had great editing and swelling music. And hey, she's really easy on eyes.

All of these things could not take away from an invention of what looks like something I would totally want a little girl in my life to have. GO HER.

Thanks for pointing me to it.
