I love all the little warning signs plastered over it, very authentic.

I own hundreds of pounds of Lego bricks now, and I'm a huge fan, but I must admit reading "construx" takes me back. I have a HUGE place in my heart for those little blue seamine looking connectors and never was their such a fun and easy set for making huge buildings. I will have to buy some old ones for my 5 year old:) Just in case you also played with them, did you know that Crossbows and Catapults is back? Big sets, cheap and just like they were. You can still put 9 rubber bands on them and get lethal velocity from the little pucks.

Yeah, there are a few containers of LEGO and Construx still sitting in my parent's basement. They were definitely my favorite as a kid. Construx were particularly useful for building GI Joe HQs and what not. However those blue connectors were almost as painful to step on as the 4-dot square LEGO bricks.
And while I was aware of Crossbows and Catapults, I never had them as a kid. I had to rely on the original firing cannons on the LEGO Black Seas Barracuda pirate ship for waging any kind of wars.

Wow, I recognized the structural elements used to hold this thing together! They were used in a build-your-own skyscraper set that I had as a child -- and this is back in the 1980s! I am surprised that they managed to stick around long enough to resurface two decades later.

Of course, Wikipedia knows all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girder_and_Panel_b... Seems what I had was from the General Mills era...
