During the Gulf War I had to leave the majority of my toys behind here in Kuwait because we had to flee the country. That incident scarred me for life I think because I seemed to have developed some kind of psychological issue where I am trying to buy back every toy I had. I spend most of my days flipping through pages of vintages toys and eBay looking for stuff I used to have and then hopefully buying them. So now I have decided to share the toys with you whenever I find any. Today I am gonna start with this “Le Chalet Suisse” toy. It was amazing, its like a classy version of Lego. Its using pieces of real wood and you can build various types of wooden chalets with them. There is no sticking or clicking, the pieces of the wood are shaped in a way that they would fit together and you just stack them up.
I was able to find it online brandnew for only $78. [Link]

Woah. I have those words imprinted in my mind, “Swiss Chalet.” We had a bucket of those and I loved playing with them, good times. They were nice, had a nice feel to them, and whatever you made always looked good with those blocks. Now most of the pieces are missing, sadly. The only con was the limited number of buildings and such that can be made with such a small selection of lumber.
On what website did you find this brand new Le Chalet Suisse?
The link does not work.
