Superplexus Ambassadors Make a Stop at Imagination Toys in Ladue

Kids are enthralled with this hot new game of skill.

Tour Ambassadors Grace and Amanda from Buffalo, NY made a visit Friday to the Imagination toys in Ladue Friday. By the number of kids on hand, and by the smiles on their faces, this visit made a big hit. Children have to negotiate a track with a tiny steel roller ball, all enclosed inside a round plastic case. They got a chance to oggle a giant demonstration model too. The ambassadors registered the children for group contests, and winners went home proudly displaying a brand new SuperPlexus game. This is how it looked to a bunch of pre-teens at Imagination Toys in Ladue.
