Another piece for my collection

The Screamin' Serpent contains a black variety of this rod, there is 47 in the Screamin' Serpent and 26 in the Rippin' Rocket. I still think it's a good set!

Although it may be a little irritating at times, I am sure you could manage without them. No piece is absolutely necessary especially if you have some extra pieces laying around. However, the set does contain small black clips that are used very often. They could just as easily be swallowed by your son/daughter. Now it is still certainly possible to build a set without them if you have some extra pieces laying around, but it may be a little more difficult. If you plan on following the instructions almost all of the track to support connections are made by these clips or small rods.
I still recommend buying the set! They are K'nex! As long as you have an imagination you will be fine.

Well,it may be possible, but I'm not so sure. if you can't, I would suggest just building the parts with the small pieces very quickly so nothing will happen to your son/daughter. Good luck!

I would say classic Knex is much safer in general than the new micro pieces. Definitely a lot more parts are a choking hazard now.

It would certainly be possible, just not exactly by the instructions. You'd just need to be creative and make some changes.is it possible to build the set without them?
