Neat idea, but as an adult who builds little machines out of Lego Technic for fun sometimes, the adapter selection seems very limited. In order to make this idea "practical" you would need adapters with a variety of sizes, shapes, and orientations. I guess I'm not the target audience - I can definitely see this being cool for children.
That's an awesome project. I'm sure there are many kids that have been gifted LEGO knockoffs that are not compatible with legos from adults that didn't know any better. A similar "interop" project for those would be great
Almost all (back then, I hear the clone quality is much higher now) were "compatible" but had little to no clutch power, a wall built with some of them would inevitably break at the clone bricks.
I was so confused recently, when I bought a toy car kit from some German brand which cost 25 euro and came with the pieces all joined together straight from the injection mold, so you had to twist them off one by one, and then the little injection spikes stabbed your fingers while you worked.
Bought an almost equivalent set from Lego (stab-free!) for 9 euro. How does that pricing make sense haha

No Construx? I built everything out of those as a kid.
I feel like the only way to summon the corporate lawyers faster would be to put a Mickey mouse on the box.

When I was a kid I used to rate my uncles and aunts based off who got me Legos or Megablocks.
Idk how I’d feel if they got me this.
