Any /toy/ soldiers ever have these as a kid? Only knew these existed because of videos like this where people would use them to create giant Rube-Goldberg esque structures:

Holy shit Yes!! Never built anything that elaborate, as my only exposure to them was in very early childhood, we're talking pre-school, kindergarten, 1st grade MAYBE. Wow. Thanks for unlocking some memories OP.

You're very welcome, anon; I love hearing these anecdotes. Apparently these were an educational toy (or at the very least that's what they've been relegated to according to its Wikipedia page) so I assume that's the reason why Rokenbok is so unheard of.

I had a whole collection of these. My dad loved them. I remember one was a moving conveyor belt.

When I was a kid, my folks and I got a display table from a toy store that was going out of business. It looked similar to this one, but I think it was more of a custom job and not totally official. Didn't have the crane up top

Might have pics somewhere.
