Did anybody else play with these? I use to love building moving parts and crazy machines. I think one time I made a 5 foot tall two-way escalator. You had everything you needed with those 6 rods and 6 connectors. It was flawless geometrical perfection until they went and added a bunch of roleplay nonsense and dolls and ruined the entire franchise.

I used to. When i was 15 though my mom stepped on one of the connectors and threw the whole set out in her rage. :/

[The Destroyer]

Yup, I have a rollercoaster, worked great. I also had a second set for me to build my own, but I was honestly clueless.

[The Jedi Master]

I used to build really tall towers. I was quite proud of myself, mind you.

[Flymetothemun]

I still do. I usually like to build carnival rides and mechanical things. I've been meaning to order pieces for

, though.

Oh boy, knex.

I once built a roller coaster with those things that's starting hill was about 5 feet, 8 inches off the ground.

I might dig up pictures some day.

I built bridges, lots and lots of bridges.

Had the ferris wheel kit as a kid. Stripped the wormgear, and then everything else got brittle.
