Presenting the Brand New Lemax Oct-o-Squeeze!

Every once in a while, life presents us with golden opportunities. We’re fortunate to be one of Lemax’s three preferred retailers. We’re very proud of that and do everything we can to live up to their trust.

Every once in a while, our close relationship pays off (mutually) . . . like a loose slot machine!

The other day we received an e-mail message from Lemax, Inc. to explain a rare and wonderful opportunity. They were planning to release a new item into general circulation next year, but they had a number of advance copies this year that we could buy and then resell to our customers. The item is called the Oct-o-Squeeze and is part of the Lemax Carnival Series. Because all pieces in the Carnival Series fly off our shelves, it didn’t take Carol and me long to jump at the chance to buy some Oct-o-Squeezes for you, our loyal customers.

Big and purple and menacing, looking like a 1950s B-movie by-product of atomic radiation, the Oct-o-Squeeze slings riders around in its tentacles while surreal music plays over the loudspeaker. ‘Come ride, if you dare, the Oct-o-Squeeze!’ the creature taunts. To make the Oct-o-Squeeze even more realistic, Lemax gave him (her?) a slightly tacky texture. It’s wild! Check out the video below, and I apologize for the poor sound quality.

Now, here’s an added bonus. Because the Oct-o-Squeeze is not yet in mass production, Lemax is testing every one of them to insure that each works satisfactorily. Even though each one has been thoroughly tested, Lemax, as always, stands behind every one of these Oct-o-Squeezes. So, they’re factory-tested and guaranteed to work. Talk about peace of mind!

Anyway, we’ve ordered a bunch of these Oct-o-Squeezes, and we should receive them in early August. (Lemax needs time to test each item and then ship them to us.) If you own one this year, you’ll be in with the In Crowd. You’ll go where the In Crowd goes. You’ll know what the In Crowd knows. Okay, I’ll calm down. I’m just a little excited!

We love this piece, and we’re sure you will, too. So, if you’re interested, check out our web site in the coming weeks to learn when they’re available to buy. That URL again is http://www.lemaxvillages.com/.
