It's a new snap-together toy being marketed by LynDoor Industries to compete with Legos.

It's called Eggos™.

Lyn: Hate to disillusion you, but that TM is already taken by Eggo Waffles. So let go my Eggo, brother.

James,

Thank you for that information.

I have forwarded it on to our legal council, Dewey, Cheteem and Howe, with instructions to immediately file a trademark Cease and Desist action against those thieves at Kelloggs®!

Not sure why all the fuss. My 4 year old makes things like this often. Obviously part of a princess castle.
