Roy Toys?
I had heard of Lincoln Logs building Toys as I have some of their metal toy soldiers and civilians. Roy Toys however were a new company to me, thanks to a surprise kind family gift for Christmas.
I like the retro packaging, I like the simple product and the story behind its creation and remarkable family revival.
The history of the product, maker and company are given here

B.P.S. this log cabin was apparently sourced through quirky British supplier Labour and Wait in London – they have some still reduced in their sale.

Really great looking log cabin. I have used wooden blocks with 54mm in a game successfully, reminiscent of H G Wells floor games. They have a please toy vibe to them as do your wonderful log cabin pictures.

It was that Little Wars retro look that appealed to me when I was shown pictures of them months ago. Then the various cabins appeared as surprises on Christmas Day! I really like the family back story, the retention of the packaging style, the sustainable forestry thing. Pure Childhood Americana.

I had many Lincoln Logs as a child and sometimes used them as terrain with my green army men. Have lately used Jenga blocks, but these would go perfectly for my Revolutionary War plastics. If I can get my bosses to allow wargaming in the library again, I may pick some up.

I think many of the (grand)parents attending library games would have the same nostalgia for Lincoln Logs, Green Army Men, which could be harnessed in your favour. Lincoln Logs and Roy Toys are not often available in the U.K. without American Shipping costs on top.
