Toy and Gift distributor littleCONCEPTS are bringing the smash US hit BrickStix to the UK and Ireland market this Spring. The building block accessory has had major success in the USA after being invented by then 9-year-old Greyson MacLean. The story starts with a boy, plastic bricks and a dream. The boy loved to build! (Who doesn’t!) He dreamt of creating beyond the bricks so his builds could tell a story. He wanted to use stickers to bring his creations to life, but they were difficult to remove. He needed stickers that could be removed or repositioned, just like his bricks. From that, BrickStix was born. BrickStix makes tiny pieces of awesomeness designed to fit plastic bricks like LEGO® and MEGA BLOKS®. They are reusable, removable and re-stickable decals. Add a watchdog to your city, stick an alien aboard your spaceship or put a dent in a car. Kids can change their Stix as often as they change their mind. Create a zombie apocalypse, WWII mission and more! BrickStix have got your bricks covered! The pocket money priced collectable will be on show on the littleCONCEPTS stand at Toy Fair (GH51). Retailers will be able to take advantage of FREE retail display solutions if pre-ordering BrickStix at the upcoming shows.
