In the end about 100 to 150 children took models home.<\/p>\n<p>The store now sets three tables of ten with an employee at each one. That worked very well in June, when the store gave out little jet ski models.<\/p>\n<p>On July 8, Sauv\u00e9 says that there are enough supplies for 300 children to get a tiny dune buggy model.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love the people who come to the store because they all have a smile on their face,\u201d said Sauv\u00e9. \u201cNot everyone knows that Lego has retail outlets.
