An older gentleman speaking in heavily-accented English wandered through the Jordan Marsh toy department. Approaching a stranger he demanded excitedly "Where are the Legos? At FAO Schwartz, at Filenes, at everywhere they say no Legos, try the Jordan Marsh. Where are they?" The stranger pointed him in the direction of Suckerman
