Down at our local Cranks and Tinkerers Museum in the old railway station Ian the curator has Australia's own version of Lego . It goes back a fair way . It was called Bild A Brix I think .He has several boxes of it that a patron kindly donated a few years ago. Lego is used extensively at our school and the Science Department has quite a bit of the Technic type they use a lot .
I'm in awe of how much the kids use it in fact . Another similar component building/engineering format than never quite got as popular as Lego is Meccano .
Meccano was and probably still is part of the Hornby Model Trains and Airfix group of companies . You ought to see the fantastic structures and machines that Meccano is capable of , just like Lego..
Kids and big kids need Lego and any similar creative format I reckon because without great stuff like that where do our future engineers get their inspiration eh.. Besides....It's bloody fun and shows like Lego Masters are ingenious and imaginitive...
