Reminds me of Meccano, I wonder which came first lol!
I agree kids NEED to learn with their hands, and this sort of thing really helps young engineer minds, like Lego - but Lego these days is a joke, although it needed to go along the licensing route to stay afloat, it’s lost it’s way in my opinion pandering to Mario etc, and all the thousands of curved bricks etc.
Lego was one of my favourite toys, at least it got the most use.
Action man was probably top of the list though. The SAS one was my favourite, closely followed by the Paratrooper - you can get them now……but they don’t come with weapons of any sort (wtf)
This recent advert for Moneysupermarket was great dunno if you got it elsewhere!
Action jack used to have a lot of time too as they were cheap….
Damn, more tough choices. Huge propellers, little propellers (love that one, too, ’cause I had a few of those model prop-planes), but I gotta go with the landspeeder, if only ’cause I want one desperately.
