Long live TOYS!

Long live TOYS!: "In December 1953, retailers had long waiting lists for the game Scrabble, which then sold for $3. Store owners who didn’t keep waiting lists endured a mob scene among customers scrambling for a set when a new shipment came in. That year, consumers purchased 800,000 sets, contributing to the total of over 100 million sets sold worldwide. Even as the popular board game celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, it still remains a favorite, with sales between 1 million and 2 million sets each year."
