JTM Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Me and anal have just been discussing the joys we had with lego etc all through childhood and realised we still love it now. We intend to build up my K'nex rollercoaster which takes about 3 months and is huge! Do you still have love for this "toy" and have you any pics etc?!

TheCircus Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 I was a Lego Technics man myself. I loved it, still got some giant tool box filled with it. Round here people who liked k'nex were made fun of, everyone knows k'nex sucks compared to lego technic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Morris Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 I never had any Lego or K'nex, I've always found building stuff boring, I'd rather go and climb a tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But have you ever seen the rollercoaster up and running....?! its a sheer beast. The other advantage with K'nex was it wasnt fragile like lego and you could lash cars down the stairs etc and they would laugh it off!

tank_rider Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 i grew out of lego techniques at about 16, when i got into bikes really. I did however build a full sus pedal bike out of a motocross bike kit and a load of spares i had. Both a standard single pivot design and the old gt lts design :lol: Then started tinkering with actual bikes so its been sat in a cupboard since.
