There's a small Exin set up in my parents' attic, I've been meaning to bring
it home and put it together. My guess is that I probably got it in the late
seventies.
The coolest thing about them was the large macaroni pieces for making round
towers 6 or 8 studs (can't remember which) in diameter. Most, if not all, of
the rectangular bricks were 1X2's.
