Oh no, K'nex was must've been made out of a new plastic-titanium alloy because I don't remember it ever bending. That, or I wasn't a very strong kid. Bonus: if you had some money (I didn't) you could make some really cool looking rollercoasters out of it: Too bad it always goes way too fast through the track. Still, you try building this out of Erector:1) It's a step above pot metal. Literally scrap steel. Yield strength of zero, which means when you bend it, it's bent. And it bends really goddamn easily.
