They make really nice wood/plastic sets, with pegs that a little kid can really pound. But I can’t seem to find anyone in the U.S. who sells them (except for a couple of lots on eBay).

Anybody bought something like [this](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=290165848386&Category=2646&_trksid=p3907.m29#ebayphotohosting) at a store? I think mine would like more banging, less assemble-this-item.

There’s a toy store here in Lawrence KS called… wait for it… “The Toy Store” that very well might have something like this. They don’t appear to have a web site but you can find their phone number with a quick google.

There’s a great toy store called Learning Treasures here in Bloomington, IN that has a whole room full of Brio sets.

Awesome! That might exactly do it, thanks! I think I could avoid the shipping from Kansas.

Man, you Kansans are _direct_! I always heard farmers were a no-nonsense bunch!
