TYCO "Dream Builders" Super Blocks Building Set, 1991-1992
Add to SetSummary
Girls can build, too -- even though most early construction toys had been targeted to boys. In the early 1990s, Tyco decided to tap this previously overlooked market and produced "Dream Builders" sets. With these pastel-colored bricks, girls could create teen bedrooms, kitchens, shopping malls, playgrounds and other play sets -- or create a world of their own.
