Legos were mostly for boys.

I was only a bit jealous as I had a "rival toy" which offered more possibilities: it was 2 round parts with a thin part in the middle. It offered shear tolerance in this thin part, so you have complex fractal like shapes in a X-Y plane by gently bending it to go from 2 to 3 hooks.

You could also grow these shapes in the Z plane by embedding the thin part of other pieces inbetween the round parts, snapping it into place.

I can't remember the name ATM, but here's a picture: http://www.filipiknow.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Pinoy-L...
