I'm full of envy - I'm a big fan of construction toys in general. That site
you found is superb. Bayko is one of my favourites, although it is very hard
ot find. I'm hoping to put out displays of Bayko, Zoids, Micronauts and
Robotix from my own collection at the next "Piece by Piece" event. Betta
Builder and any other "Classic" building toys will be welcome also. Lego
will be the main theme of course and I'll be steering well clear of Lego's
present day rivals. I don't want to become a total outcast! I'm also looking
for any Robostrux if anyone comes accross it at boot sales.

Craig.

A search for "Betta Bilda", produced this site which reviews early construction
or “architectural” toys:

My favourite is Bild-O-Brik – a rubber brick. This was marketed as being “safe
and silent”:http://www.architoys.net/toys/toypages/bildobri.html

BTW: I also brought home a MISB 933[!] from 1973:
