The second wave of ZNAP releases came a couple of months back with six new
sets in total. Tesco is the only place I've seen 'em though... (unless you
take a look on LEGO's web site).
I posted re this a couple of weeks back. Apparently, it was a good seller
last Christmas (kiddies wanted it without knowing how bad it would be, so
Santa bought a very large stock), but I don't see it going anywhere this
year 8-(
5/10 for effort, 1/10 for achievement 8-(
LEGO works in its own right and so does K'NEX. They're separate and
different systems which are both very good. ZNAP was LEGO's attempt to draw
K'NEX's customers, but despite the R&D there was still insufficient thought
put into it.
...just my two penn'orth...
