I was looking through some building block sets online today and it got me thinking about the building block sets i used to have.
I've owned millions of Legos. I've had Construx. I've had knex, Capsela, Bristle Blocks, Tinker Toys.... A few others that I can't remember...
But there's this one kind that I had, it was basically building blocks that screwed together. They had these big plastic "screws" in the middle of each block that you'd turn a 1/4 turn with a flathead screwdriver. The whole thing was made out of plastic. I owned them sometime in the mid-80's and played with them a lot.
I couldn't find any leads online, and i was wondering if any of you recognized them. I drew a picture of the most basic block.
