 | | Alll gone.....
|
| It seems that all the close out ZNAPS are gone from the local (metroNY) TRU's. There are still some at a National Liquidator near Cross County Center in Yonkers. Ironic as my 5 year old has been obsessing on them. One of the kindergarten teachers (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.znap)
| | | | | Re: Znap's 200th message.!..
|
| (...) I'm pretty sure it's sold out everywhere around me. I would not be surprised to hear it's sold out most everywhere. For those not wanting the special Znap elements, the sets were a great way to acquire cheap motors. Also, for those not wanting (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.znap)

| (...) Because it was never meant to be sold in North America. It only showed up in TRU because they needed to dispose of an extremely large inventory of extra sets, so they did what they often do with leftover European sets.. sell it to a US chain (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.znap)
| | | | | Znap's 200th message.!..
|
| I posted this for 3 reasons: 1.) I hated looking at that "199". It was like looking at a rock on the edge of a cliff and thinking "why can't it just fall or get away from the edge?" 2.) I found the Znap set in the carrying case for 15 U.S. Dollars. (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.znap)

| | | | | Re: ZNAP survey
|
| (...) Would you be willing to share some of your techniques? I for one have a large amount of ZNAP and plan to use it, but haven't gotten around to doing the detailed investigations to determine all the possible interconnect mechanisms. Basically, (...) (24 years ago, 5-Dec-00, to lugnet.znap)
| | | | | Re: ZNAP survey
|
| (...) I can't generate too much, since I have a much as I can use - 65+ black racers, and at least 1, most times 2+, every other Znap set available. But the line, although expired, still has not been fully explored. There are always new uses for any (...) (24 years ago, 5-Dec-00, to lugnet.znap)
| | | | | ZNAP survey
|
| Here is a sort of informal survey (an exit poll if you will :-) concerning ZNAP sets: Who, if anyone, can still generate enthusiasm for the ZNAP line? What disposition of their materials do you recommend to the current owners of ZNAP sets? Is it (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.znap)
| | | | | ZNAP's
|
| Seems I created a slight problem in donating ZNAP's to the local Kindergarten classes after pilfering the motors. They have become quite popular and are making it onto a number of Christmas lists - a small local boom in consumer interest - for (...) (24 years ago, 23-Nov-00, to lugnet.znap)

|
| Heh- sorry about the wide distribution, but this fits into a lot of categories. I have a new creation up on my site, a device for defeating the timer on the Duplo battery trains. This uses Duplo Trains, Technic, and a critical Znap part. I call it (...) (24 years ago, 22-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.duplo, lugnet.org.us.sealug, lugnet.technic, lugnet.znap, lugnet.build) !

I do like the gear system you have on yours and maybe it is a question of insufficient torque to twist it around so I may have to (...)

| For general information, it seems that Toys R Us in the Metro NY area (and elsewhere I suspect, by recent Ebay listings) has had a large number of Znap sets on clearance. The motorized sets are running $9.97 with others for $4.50 and $.97. There's a (...) (24 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.znap)
