Whoops. left out 2 other elements in the K'nex brix series.  axels that look
like real automotive axels...long black rods with standard knex hubs to receive
knex wheels, but a row of studs in the center of the axel, and also another
brick, a 2x8 brick, like the others drilled through the stud to accept technic

(...) Thanks for the info. It all sounds like a nice direction for K'nex. I suppose what I am really hoping for is a K'nex roller coaster, like their old Screamin' Serpent set, that can seat mini-figs. Now that would be awesome. -Mike Petrucelli (20 years ago, 2-Feb-07, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
