Several local TRU's are having heavy-duty clearance sales on Znap--along the lines of all-you-can-carry-for-a-dollar, or something like that. Why, do you suppose, did Znap not succeed? It seems that among Technic fans there is considerable interest (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.znap)

Rob, I got all the "bulk" Znap I could use buying sets at TRU for $10 to get the motors out of them. As TRU is still selling these sets, i'd imagine that it's going to be hard to sell the pieces off.
