I remember as a kid playing with Meccano sometimes, but mostly as the metal / pro version of K'nex, which has just 8 connector pieces and 6 lengths of beams but lets you make insane stuff like this: Obviously not as refined and complex as Meccano but it was stupendously easy to build a solid structure. Especially fun building towers to see how high you could go. I still have a large box of the stuff lying around somewhere. Did you guys have that too in 'Merica?
