Yes, please, LEGO! Just hire some cargo planes and clear the shops in
Europe. I get sick of this stuff each time I visit my local shop. Listen,
LEGO: we won't take it off the shelves, even not if offered for free! I

Disagree. I like it and it has a lot of potential for large structures. I'd
DEFINITELY take it for free... I am buying a bunch from Busy Bee. I just wish
there were more colors per piece, instead of the pieces being essentially color
coded.. I want everything in a set to be red instead of grey short links,
purple 4 ways, red medium links and so forth.

For a view of what can be done with Znap:

I did a small girder bridge in red for Nik's Shinkasen display.
