Baufix Starter 10 Building Set

I grew up playing with these in the 80's and when I found them here i was eager to buy the for our kids. The concept of this toy is great, and imaginative kids with a mechanical aptitude will love it. The quality, however, has definitely gone down hill since they made the set I played with (they're made in China now instead of Germany). Several of the pieces have a sloppy fit that prevents the various models from being assembled so that they actually work.
