I messed with k'nex long after the appropriate age, made a working crossbow with it!

I missed johnnywy's post and read this. Thought you were somehow an origami expert w/ kleenex. Then the penny dropped.

I had that technic car too bbloke n loads more. I had boxes n boxes of lego from mine and my siblings childhood, wanker housemate gave it away cos he thought it was of no use n taking up space! 100's n 100's of euro's worth. Dark, dark days.

Dude k'nex were awesome.

I made a working mousetrap out of them for a science project.

It didn't kill the mouse, but it triggered a door to close when the food was tampered with.

Ah Johnimus, I would absolutely love to go on Scrapheap Challenge! It looks like great fun and sure who wouldn't want to build a submarine out of soem garden sheds and a quad bike.

Alas, I have zero useful technical knowledge, or experience using power tools, so I closed the door on that particular dream years ago........sniff sniff sob sob.

I try to say I'm keeping my dream alive of moving something with the force, but alas deep down I know its dead...

So I know your pain of unachieved dreams!

Don't give up your dream chick

Could The Force be with you? A toy due in stores this fall will let you test and hone your Jedi-like abilities.

The Force Trainer (expected to be priced at $90 to $100) comes with a headset that uses brain waves to allow players to manipulate a sphere within a clear 10-inch-tall training tower, analogous to Yoda and Luke Skywalker's abilities in the Star Wars films.

Good old scaletrrix still got a huge one in the attic lol

[Jonnywhy]

I've got my Dad's old collection of Scale electrix in my cupboard, there's loads of it lol including a ton of accessories. I should get that out again soon...tho i've never had the greatest luck with them, there's always a dodgy connection somewhere or only 1 car working

[Soap]

All I remember about scalextric was that I was so bad at making the car go around the track normally, that I specifically designed courses that it would inevitably result in mayhem - just to see how far the little car would fly.
