I was imitating, see his Lego gally, driven by his removal of files.
Angles were the hardest.

American Building Bricks? For building houses mainly? If so, we had some
hand-me-downs from our mother. Red and white blocks mostly, with
smaller, narrower pegs which didn't hold tight. We had a very incomplete
set though...

This would explain why I had it as part of a larger set. There was this
small flyer, and a small rover with the smallest wheels Lego had to
offer. My flyer was white and grey, though. Legos remained my favorite
toy for years, from my first set when I was seven, clear into my teens
when other kids thought Legos were child's play. They didn't understand
that Legos give only what you put into them, that the lessons learned
are useful in other areas. *sigh* :)

Duplo is a line of bricks made by LEGO *after* their normal bricks :)

Laser amp feed regulator was malfunctioning so I replaced it. Was nice for
reflection but would have been more like defending yourself with a flashlight.

Now that I see it - yes, I have heard of "Meccano" before. I actually owned one
same though - my father had owned at least one set he was young, but he also
must have owned an "incompatible" one. Looking back, I guess those used an
inch-based system while the "Metallbaukasten" used a metric one.

I was born in '37 so I'm also a grumbling old man (more of a curmudgeon
actually). ;-) So my childhood was also pre-plastics. My equivalent
nostalgia is for (all metal) Erector Sets.

I have a strange feeling that that name would be considered somewhat
weird and/or unsuitable for children's set.
