Any one remember the sort of transformer line they did, o remember having one of those, the Hermes I think it was called, way ahead of lego. Unfortunately, as mentioned else where, the peices where a little more fragile than lego, but I think that was also because they seemed to lock together better, so more force (teeth) was often required to separate the peices.
Although I remember it being a real kill joy if one of the studs snapped off in one of the holes……oh and that those tanker style domes that had studs/holes on both the top and bottom, wouldnt secure well when 2 fit together to make a ‘flattened ball’ %if you know what I mean) because they flexed too much.

Ahh……sweet memories. In fact, I found some of my old stuff at my parents the other day and my kids are happily playing with it now, though not enough of the right peices to male up the stuff on the box…..

It’s entirely in Spanish, but if you view it with Google Translate it’s quite easy to navigate. I have almost the entire Scorpion set of military vehicles, my favorite childhood toy.
