SubscribeConstruction has never been so cool!
Following on from Tasha’s post about the ‘mighty’ Lego… we didn’t really have it when I was growing up (wrong country y’see), we had fischertechnik instead. It was ace – chunkier than Lego so not as much cursing when you trod on it, and you could motorise your gadgets and make really cool things that did stuff – all with little (but powerful!) motors and elastic bands. You even got proper mini tools to use if I remember rightly. No-one I’ve met as an adult has ever played with this stuff, which I think is a real shame, because it was waaaay more technical than lego, and therefore lots more fun. Besides which, it’s german technology, so it’s gotta be good right? (Deliberately provocative? Me?)
