New Hampshire teen LEGO whiz opens toy store

NASHUA, N.H. -- A 15-year-old boy from New Hampshire has opened his own toy store.

Josh Heinzel opened Josh's Toys and Games on Oct. 10 at the Pheasant Lane Mall.

His first sale was a miniature magnetic chess board, one of many quirky toys he sells. He actually started selling toys and games online three years ago when he was 12.

About half the store's items are LEGO sets. Josh is the captain of a competitive LEGO team, the 2008 LEGO robotic performance world champs.

Josh's mother, Mary, helps out with transportation and works the floor at the store when it gets busy. She does this in addition to her regular job as a nursing instructor.

Josh's father is an electrical engineer, but works part-time doing shipping work for Josh.
