Anyone ever use them? It's totally my childhood toy. I recall my uncle getting me a set when I was 6 or 7 and by the time I was 14 I had enough pieces to outweigh myself five times. I was so bored that last summer I made a massive tower. It's about ten feet tall (taller than me) and weighs so much that I can only slightly push it. It's built like a real skyscraper (except for obvious differences, like having and different elements no foundation) so if you punch it as hard as you can, you don't do any damage and it just wobbles a little until it stops moving, sort of like real ones. Construction (core rising!): I estimate it took about 8,000 pieces to build. Stupid ceiling. I have enough to make it over 45 feet tall.

Please make a 45 ft. K'nex structure! That's really cool. I was more of a Lego guy growing up.

Cool I had that first rollercoaster one, but the loop never really worked. The best K'nex sets were always the first ones, with all of the classic pieces. I don't like moving things much. I like the basic with structure.
I dunno if I can push this tower past 20 feet without reinforcing the base and adding some sort of a foundation to prevent it from falling over, but I have no time these days, and no room. One day, I put a candle at the top it it adds a lot to the room. It already looks too tall for its size because it's about 1'x1'x10'.

Holy good god. I made a lego structure tower taller than me once, but I was like... 10... so it was about five feet tall. im a girl...we had to play with dolls and crap cuz or parents said so pshh... speak for yourself. I hated dolls. I did love the Polly Pocket and Barbie houses with all the complex compartments and furniture... still do. ^_^' Aside from that, I was glued to my GBC all the time.

i just finished my tower the entrance i wasnt really going for how it looked, you can probably tell bc its butt ugly but i just wanted to make it tall. i have enough to make it way taller but it started leaning and i thought it would fall if i added anything else. and that little thing sticking out of the top is balancing it
