i'm trying to track down a construction set (I'm sure I saw it in a magazine, but also saw it on "Fringe" when they were making a formula for some "thing")

Basically it's small wooden poles & wheels with holes in that you can make things out of.  Pretty sure there's a plastic version on the market but the wooden one looked pretty indestructable (a must with my two kids).

Not explaining it well sadly.  But if anyone has a clue what I'm talking about & can fine a link to one that would be great

Hmm forget that I think I've found it & it's over £100

Try on ebay - you may be able to get it  new or second hand at a vastly reduced price
