Learn to read first ore learn how the world evolves.
In the year 2007, digital camera's weren't toys for kids yet.
These pictures where taken with a cell phone camera.
If I remember correctly it was a 1.3 MP cell phone camera.

hi, im trying to make some knex guns, but I have a very tiny supply of knex. i was wondering if anyone could tell me which knex sets have the most usable pieces. i would appreciate any and all help. thanks in advance!

Jul 25, 2011. 4:50 PMtjdtjd1 says:

Buy from ebay, I got 5.5 kilos for £40

Dec 4, 2010. 3:05 PMSenior Waffleman says:

heres the best way ever, go to knex.com and choose the pieces you want, and its cheap, DO IT!!! but shipping is about five dollars, but its really worth it

Jul 29, 2010. 6:22 PMFurloy says:

if you want loads of knex for a good price go on ebay. get like one of the ones the says "ten pouds knex parts" o something like that, i got 12lb for forty bucks, insanely good deal!

Jul 9, 2010. 2:49 AMmahmel says:

hi, you can buy some boxes with a lot of pieces and just a little book for kids to make some easy creations. In one box is about 20-30 of every kinda k'nex .. thingies, rods, connencters, blue rings, Y-clips. Search for them, they're good value.

Dec 27, 2008. 2:42 AMMiles Tails Prower says:

I know much sets, but to which price do you want them??? Because there are sets with VERY much knex but they will cost more money.

Feb 28, 2011. 1:08 PMralphkidsguns says:

well in ESK at the moment, they are doing XL boxes for £10! get down there! i got 7 boxes! XD

Dec 28, 2008. 11:38 AMlasermaster3531 says:

I can spend ~$70 on knex this time. would that be enough? i will buy them from knex.com. i appreciate it.

Jul 27, 2010. 3:54 AMFred the evil puppet says:

not knex .com. ebay. my mate got over 10,000 peices for £50!

Apr 17, 2009. 6:47 PMheatblast says:

you can get 3 400piece value tubs for about 60 bucks.If there's a walmart nearby ,lets hope so! :)

Jul 29, 2010. 6:23 PMFurloy says:

for forty bucks i got 12 pounds on ebay, POWNED!!!!

May 11, 2011. 4:16 PMHitchtopher says:

For $60 i got 12,500 pieces on craigslist. PWND!!!!

May 11, 2011. 6:25 PMFurloy says:

but is 12500 peices more than 12 pounds?

May 11, 2011. 9:06 PMHitchtopher says:

I hope so, otherwise i would feel like an idiot. I'm 99.99% sure it is heavier because my ball machine(7,741 pieces) weighed a lot more than 12 lbs.

Jun 7, 2011. 3:32 PMFurloy says:

but i also paid 20 bucks LESS than you

Jun 7, 2011. 4:20 PMHitchtopher says:

It works out that I got a better deal but I don't really care anymore.

Jun 27, 2011. 7:38 AMFurloy says:

Me neither let's just drop this haha

iz all good

Dec 28, 2008. 1:07 PMMiles Tails Prower says:

Well then, lets see-One Motorized Madness ball machine, and something to choice. That's what I reccomend, because a ball machine uses LOTS OF PARTS, and that is included in that set, and then maybe buy some individual parts. Cheers!

Jan 5, 2009. 12:43 PMlasermaster3531 says:

do you know how much of the ball machine is non-standard knex? i looked at it, and it looked like it had a lot of minis and bricks and stuff. any and all comments appreciated.

May 27, 2009. 11:53 AMTigerNod says:

I recommon to buy knex used knex in garage-sales or ebay from kids that growed too old to play with knex anymore (though some people play with knex even if they are 16, like most of us :-) and I don't think that is wrong)
