Funny - it’s a very similar design, although scaled up, as a toy from the 70s-80s that I used to build with at my grandmothers house. I think they were made of rigid foam. Wonder if that company still exists?
September 11th, 2007 at 6:40 pmWell… I do believe this works regarding walls and stuff, but that tent?! It is impossible for the roof to stand still there

September 12th, 2007 at 9:00 am…impossible for the roof to stand… unless you employed a wonderful substance known widely as ‘glue’…
September 12th, 2007 at 6:32 pmNot even with glue mate…
September 12th, 2007 at 8:54 pmWhat about poo mate?
September 12th, 2007 at 9:54 pmFormally speaking too heavy for my liking and reminscant of a plastic prison.

September 13th, 2007 at 1:04 pmIt would make me feel like I was breakable and had been packaged for transit.
September 13th, 2007 at 5:07 pmWhy wouldn’t it work? If the joints are fairly tight when assembled, and the product is light enough, it should be able to support itself.

September 20th, 2007 at 12:27 pmTight enough? I think they lock into a specific number of positions. That would work.
