We had some K'Nex but played a lot more with LEGOs. It helped that I have three siblings, so we all kind of shared. Most of our sets eventually wound up in a big bucket of pieces that we'd make all kinds of stuff with lol
I'm well aware of how long it's been going on. I was a subscriber to LEGO magazine for years and years and I think I still have the catalogue where they introduced the Star Wars sets somewhere. It was a big deal and certainly cool. I just think it's gotten out of hand
