I just got back from the U.K. where I was planning to buy as mansy ZNAP as I
could afford -- until I held one in my hands. It's like K'Nex, except
EVERYTHING is at 90 degree angles. Plus, all the curves and "exotic" angles
are in the KNEX equivalent of a BURP. TLG has kept the wasteful and asinine
"studs-up" mentality throughout the paradigm shift to ZNAP, and then they
juniorized it. An utter and complete waste of plastic, IMO.
