Abstract: An assembler for construction toy elements is provided. Each construction toy element has a plurality of arms extending from a body, wherein each arm includes a root end projecting from the body and a free end having a first connecting member thereon that is configured for connecting the construction toy element to another construction toy element. The assembler includes an alignment receptacle having a set of alignment structures defining positions along the alignment receptacle, each of the alignment structures receiving at least one of the construction toy elements and inhibiting movement thereof to other positions along the alignment receptacle. The assembler also includes a set of element conduits, each of the element conduits having a receiving opening securely receiving the at least one of the construction toy elements from a corresponding one of the positions along the alignment receptacle. Further, the assembler includes a motion alignment structure controlling relative movement of the set of element conduits and the alignment receptacle between a first pose, in which the receiving openings of the element conduits are spaced from the alignment receptacle, and a second pose, in which each of the receiving openings of the element conduits are situated adjacent a corresponding one of the positions of the alignment receptacle to securely receive the at least one construction toy element located at the corresponding one position.

Abstract: In an aspect, a toy character assembly is provided, and includes a housing, a toy character, at least one sensor and a controller. The toy character is positioned inside the housing and includes a breakout mechanism that is operable to break the housing to expose the toy character. The at least one sensor detects interaction with a user. The controller is configured to determine whether a selected condition has been met based on at least one interaction with the user, and to operate the breakout mechanism to break the housing to expose the toy character if the condition is met. Optionally, the condition is met based upon having a selected number of interactions with the user.
