Contrux the lego killer of old

[ZippyDSMlee]

Of course it died of the gray death (the suits hated it)


If you don't know what it is its like a mix of K'Nex and lego giving you more build power than lego ever could,lego might have more clean designs sometimes thats only because panels were not heavily used.

K'Nex suxs,lego is ok but Contruxs was a melding of both...I wish it was still around they would have panel sets and more angled connections *drool*

Bah! I've owned kits from all three and I still say K'nex is by far the most practical. Try convincing me differently when Construx can be used to build a a deadly weapon that retains its accuracy over 20+ feet.

Or just hit them with the stock. Quite strong already:p
And K'nex are strong enough to handle non-kit materials. Construx, on the other, hand always shattered under increased stress:p

I built a mother****ing motorized crane with K'Nex. It took me 4 months to get it done, and by that I mean I started it, left it alone for 4 months, then pulled an all-nighter to finish it.

This was like, when I was 12...
