Here's the email that came this morning!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Thanks for sending the blocks. It was a most inadvertent hit.</span></div> <div style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"> </div> <div style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">One of our exhibitors didn't show up for a 20x20 in a fairly central location. While I was unable to prepare a nice display for you in the time I had available, I did manage to collect a nice big pile of photos of your product in action. See attachments. I think you'll be pleased with how much mileage that set saw. I passed out a few of your cards every time I managed to make it back to the display. Lots of people impressed that it was just one set. Have it all wrapped up in my hallway right now, will hopefully have it at the airport tomorrow AM.</div> <div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"> </div> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"><br />Nate Scheidler</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Director of Community Marketing</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"><br />Chicago Toy and Game Group<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br />Here's a couple of pictures he sent from the show!<br /><br /></span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CGkcFHPLOxA/Swrswu5UR5I/AAAAAAAAAFM/RPf9loRlveY/s1600/DSC07925-sm.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CGkcFHPLOxA/Swrswu5UR5I/AAAAAAAAAFM/RPf9loRlveY/s320/DSC07925-sm.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407394624578013074" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CGkcFHPLOxA/SwrsjwE9jeI/AAAAAAAAAE8/_nxIj6nhN_A/s1600/DSC07876-sm.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CGkcFHPLOxA/SwrsjwE9jeI/AAAAAAAAAE8/_nxIj6nhN_A/s320/DSC07876-sm.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407394401556991458" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6813117271596802918-2654453645824891652?l=jumboblocks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>BlockGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08031692508083763686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813117271596802918.post-29622406930957901032009-10-26T10:16:00.000-05:002009-10-26T10:17:35.228-05:00Celebrity-Babies.com gives us a thumbs up review!<br />Click link to check it out!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6813117271596802918-2962240693095790103?l=jumboblocks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>BlockGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08031692508083763686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813117271596802918.post-40621709355888852282009-04-20T15:41:00.010-05:002009-04-20T16:02:34.782-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CGkcFHPLOxA/SezhRPLDMTI/AAAAAAAAACI/5Nc4GIMX8Zo/s1600-h/Show09.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CGkcFHPLOxA/SezhRPLDMTI/AAAAAAAAACI/5Nc4GIMX8Zo/s320/Show09.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326880145519358258" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CGkcFHPLOxA/SezhDs9MxhI/AAAAAAAAACA/lpJdrB75GDQ/s1600-h/Show01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CGkcFHPLOxA/SezhDs9MxhI/AAAAAAAAACA/lpJdrB75GDQ/s320/Show01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326879912996161042" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CGkcFHPLOxA/SezggNQhURI/AAAAAAAAAB4/J4nrSIHv7Yo/s1600-h/Show11.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CGkcFHPLOxA/SezggNQhURI/AAAAAAAAAB4/J4nrSIHv7Yo/s320/Show11.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326879303191843090" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CGkcFHPLOxA/SezgSX1H8uI/AAAAAAAAABw/Pj-xH4FYyv4/s1600-h/Show07.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CGkcFHPLOxA/SezgSX1H8uI/AAAAAAAAABw/Pj-xH4FYyv4/s320/Show07.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326879065511555810" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6813117271596802918-4062170935588885228?l=jumboblocks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>BlockGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08031692508083763686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813117271596802918.post-73375298186457766312009-03-29T13:14:00.002-05:002009-03-29T13:22:11.056-05:00Get a sneak peek on how to build with Jumboblocks.

Many of our customers come back for more sets. The size of the project is only limited by your imagination!<br /><br />How can I build a bigger fort with just a Standard set?<br /><br /> You can use the corner of a room for two of your walls. This allows you to build a nice size fort that doesn't take up too much space! Another example is to space out the blocks with gaps to increase your wall lengths by 50% ( I will add a photo showing this technique.)<br /><br />Where can I find out more about Jumboblocks?<br /><br /> Just click on <a href="http://www.jumboblocks.com/">www.jumboblocks.com</a> and get started building!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6813117271596802918-2751568805037152740?l=jumboblocks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>BlockGuyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08031692508083763686noreply@blogger.com1
