    Bilda-Brix

    Just saw another Thread on a new Lego model and rather than hyjack that Thread I thought I would start another one on a construction kit, made in Australia that I believe does not exist anymore.

    Any body here old enough to remember the 1950's construction kit Bilda-Brix?? I had a kit when I was a kid and had a lot of fun building houses etc, with it.

    Bilda-brix, the 1950s Australian Playmate construction outfit

    Before my time Jim, I've never heard of it.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    REALLY!!!! You don't what you missed. The Bilda-Brix was my second favourite construction kit after my two Meccano kits.

    Yep, red and white ricks, green cardboard for the roof and blue paper windows. If you had enough you could build a garage to house a vehicle made from meccano parts
    The beauty of a meccano set was it developed mechanical competence and fine motor coordination skills... just the ticket for playing with Land Rovers

    More than a toy.........

    Hello from Brisbane.

    Put up a post on these things back in February when someone was waxing lyrically about Lego.

    Motto was "more than a toy" - really great stuff, but to give due credit, it was really a US product made locally under license with a different name.

    Cheers,
