In 1990 K'NEX founder Joel Glickman came up with the idea for a rod and connector building system now known as K'NEX. In 1992 his dreams became reality and a company was born. K'NEX added wheels, pulleys, and gears so kids could build vehicles, roller coasters, and more. Easy-to-follow, color-coded instructions make it easy for every builder to bring their model to life. The K'NEX family of brands has expanded to include K'NEX building sets, K'NEX Thrill Rides, K'NEX Education: America's STEM building solution, Lincoln Logs, Tinkertoy, NASCAR, Angry Birds, Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario, PacMan, and more.
