Written By: pcxo1 on 10/09/07 at 3:36 pm
they were these blocks that were like a comb, they had teeth that each block would connect to each other... ...these were not legos. It's driving me nuts because I can't think of the name :D

I had a set of Bristle Blocks when I was a little kid in the 80's.

I loved them too. I can still remember that I always wanted a set at home but mum wouldn't buy them because we already had Lego and Meccano
