Let me tell you a little about how I got hooked on K'NEX.

It started at the end of 1997 when I bought my first K'NEX set: mini racing cars. It was something like a 'trial' set, just to see if this K'NEX stuff was any good.

Well, it was! Right from the start it became an addiction.

So a fortnight later I bought the 1800 pieces multi model set and from that moment on I really got going. It was only two months later when I could not restrain myself any longer: I had to have the big ball factory, the biggest set available.

Meanwhile I have got some 20 sets now, making a total of about 9000 pieces. This includes the 10 models Solar Power set, the mains power set and the battery power set.
My latest acquisition is the roller coaster. (Luckily I managed to find a store that had one left!)

Every time when I come home with a newly bought set, no matter how big or small, it feels like holding something magic in my hands. I don't know how it is with you guys (and girls), but these black packings do have an irresistible attraction on me!
