I actually like K'nex; for a different building system, it ain't so bad. At
least they were bold enough to recognize the market for build-your-own-mech
toys. Lego is still riding high off of their SW contract, but I suspect that
will run dry at some point.
I'll buy those if the legs actually move, even a little. Then I can modify
them for more articulation, and...Uh-oh...:-(
Better get back to my Lego real fast...
