ZNAP was carried by TRU. I assume that it was also carried by S@H, but not sure
about that. I have seen bits of it at Tuesday Morning and Dollar General (small
bits to be sure). I know one TRU that still has the ZNAP polybags hanging around
(don't they ever learn ?).
ZNAP was not marketed at all well. To the best of my knowledge, TLC never
promoted ZNAP as an add-on to System. This can be done, and works quite well in
some applications. IMHO, ZANP is the sturdiest building medium that TLC has ever
made. Possibly ever better than K-Nex.
Oh yes, you can build things other than train bridges with it, like...
my fully operational ferris-wheel (using a ZNAP motor and a train power supply)
