I still have mine. I have some of the Indian set, and the huge pirate ship.

I had one set, for some reason I recall them being hideously expensive.

I remember having some castle stuff and a glow in the dark ghost. But as was said before, I think it was more expensive than Legos

I loved them. The larger sets were expensive but then so are Legos.
My favorite set was the one with the Confederate and Union troops. I also had a little jail tower. Those Yankees were always getting locked up.

I think target and walmart sell them now so I assume they are priced competitively. We've bought them at Target and several other smaller toy stores, all the pricing is pretty damn good. I don't think they've changed their prices in 15 years...

We've got a pretty massive collection... began investing in them (yeah, at one point they really were expensive compared to other toys) with our first child, and added more through the birth & rearing of three more kids. Very high quality stuff... played with hard for 20 years, and it'd be a challenge to tell any of the older pieces from a brand new item straight out of the box.
I expect my grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be playing with these long after I'm pushing up daisies. |

Never heard of them - but then I grew up in the era of "Lincoln Logs".

I was rather more of a LEGO kid.
Playmobil figures had their place too, though. Just shoot them. |

TinkerToys, Erector sets and real chemical sets that you could get seriously hurt and do some real damage, I grew up in the 50s!

They were too expensive for me as a kid. But we have a bunch for our kids. They're awesome!
