I did have a building set that used bricks but they were polyethylene hollow things, don't recall the name. Another set that had I-beams and columns and panels that snapped onto them to make buildings, again can't recall the name. And of coarse Mechano sets (that English equivalent). Im sure all the gears and pulleys led to my demise of becoming an engineer. Can't imagine the hours I spent building things with that Mechano set.
Man, I was just thinking of that !!! Pre-Lego doesn't EVEN describe my toy history, I'm WAY earlier than that (and "Mechano" is the name that I was attempting to recall).
BTW, has no one questioned this or has everyone built a clothespin gun and shot nuts with it
"........so I spent MY erector set time shooting the little nuts from the set at my brother with a clothespin gun......"
