Made from Igrushin building kit by my son. My dauhter also made this little man in a trenchcoat. The thing right to the house is a well.

Waffle blocks are very popular type of plastic building blocks. In these sets, each piece have pegs and square holes, and you can connect pieces in multiple ways to build both 2D and 3D crafts. The bricks connect to each other seamlessly, almost like in a jigsaw puzzle, so you can make endless combinations in any order you want. There are many brands of waffle building blocks, Gakken and Plus Plus are the most popular and well-known ones. This, however, is rarer Igrushin building kit.

Blocks by different manufacturers may look different. In Plus Plus sets, for example, all blocks are exactly the same, the only difference is color. This old ex-USSR set, however, has pieces of differnet shapes, and some extras, like figurines or wheels. There are also a number of long, bar-like pieces that help connect waffle blocks together. You can stack many waffles on one bar, which helps to create thick and solid crafts.

The waffle blocks themselves are small, each side of a block has only one or two pegs. Some blocks has H-shape and no pegs at all on some sides. This is a downside, because you can’t connect anything on these sides. Sometimes, however, these pieces are very handy, because you can stuck them in small openings to support the craft around it. It all other regards, it is a typical waffle block building kit with small pieces.

K’NEX Cyber-X C10 Crypto Crank

Cyber-X is an unusual line of sets for K’Nex – these sets propose you to build toy guns of different hapes and forms. There are few sets, each offers multiple different guns that actually shoot Nerf-like dart bullets. Cyber-X have some unique pieces, but they are still K’Nex sets with many standard rods and “flakes”.

Tegu

Tegu is a very popular brand of building kits, produced in Honduras. All Tegu pieces are wooden blocks and planks of simple shapes, with small but powerful magnets inside. These pieces are very well-crafted, and just pleasant to hold in your hands. They look pretty basic at first, but children may assemble them into all kinds of surprising things, even the smallest 6-piece sets can be put together in seemingly endless ways. This brand is also very proud of its wood being sustainable and its business improving Honduras’ economics.
However, Tegu sets are typically much smaller than average building sets of the same price range.

The beauty is that I bought a set of Magtastik (Mega Blocks) without one part, but with a 75% discount. However, the youngest son did not give me the opportunity to enjoy such luck for a long time, and grabbed a large car with the money I’ve saved. Now he rides ir around the house, with the details of the building set in the trunk.
