I've played with many of them, but growing up K'nex was almost my favorite. I guess part of what I liked was how you could build large contraptions with relatively few pieces. I'll always remember the Big Ball Factory set. It had 3000 pieces and stood about 5 feet tall, which was taller than me at the time. They also had the rollercoaster set, which is something Lego didn't do until many years later. Oh, and the other thing I like more about K'nex is how there's only a few dozen core pieces, so you could buy any set and you'll get pieces that can be used to make whatever. But with Lego, you probably have like 10,000 different pieces at this point and certain pieces only come in certain sets, so it's an expensive chore if you want to track down what you want. And lastly, you can build things that are extremely rigid and durable. I'll take this opportunity to show off my Master Sword:

You can swing it as much as you want and it won't budge. Like to see someone attempt that with Lego!
