Whats your favorite knex set? Any set for any reason.


For me it would probably be the Big Ball Factory. It's great for ball machines and I love it because there is such a large variety of peices.


Edit: while speaking of the BBF, does anyone know a exact peice count?

Mine would probably be the SS, maybe the RR, or the BBF, Terrain Trekker. I really like them all.

The custom 50-model building set. For the custom one, you get to choose what models to come with it, you get a CD with it, and you get your name printed on the box. Awesome. Plus, for the models I chose, I got about 6,000 or more standard pieces. I was searching the knex website, ordered it online and I got it! I got it when I was 8, here is what the part count for some of the peices seemed to be:
100 snowlfakes
300 small green rods
24 tan locks
3 orange half moons
300 dark blue rods
I mean it was such a good set, but it's hard to find where to order it.

my favourite is the screaming serpent and rippin rocket. i also like the lava launch because it has many useful pieces

My favorite is actually the hyperspace training tower. Not the biggest set, but it is kinda exciting to watch because there is always something happening. And then it comes with an electric motor, which make it all the better.

My favorite would hands down be the Big Ball Factory. It was the original set that got me interested in K'Nex ball towers (I had already enjoyed K'Nex, but this set was what got me into that specific type of K'Nex model).

I agree with you. The Big Ball Factory has so many blue and yellow rods it's crazy! I build Micro K'NEX tubesupports with a standard K'NEX blue rod base. So you can see why that would come in handy.

Here's the parts count for the Big Ball Factory. Thank Micro'nexer for showing me this site.

K'NEX Pieces

EDIT: My favorite Micro set would have to be the Vertical Vengeance.

My favorite sets are the SS and the VV, they give you tons of great pieces and trains that make you want to collect more stes to build a big coaster!

Yep I have two VV's, but I haven't built a coaster like that in over three years, and I don't really feel like building the spines and such with really small pieces, you can see my old vv coaster on YouTube, that I build along time ago, Imwas very bad and unexperimxed back then, but no buddy really built custom vv's back then when I did!

I only have 3 kinds of sets (BBF, SS and SR), but I think the SS is great to have atleast 10 of them, and the BBF is a very great addition too. The great thing about them is that there isn't too much nonsense in them. The RR for instance, has these huge ass annoying boosters that will only waste space, or the big air tower which has 50% crap parts.

^But you must agree with me that the BABT has a very nice amount of spread out pieces, so quite a lot of almost every piece.

My favorite set, eventhough Koen owns it and i do not, is the Big Ball Factory. I can remember that we were both yelling when we heard that he got one, and we started building it immediately and it was such a cool balltower. The set also has a lot of most of the pieces, not counting the red and grey rods, but it is still a very nice set to have!

I would say my favorites are:

1. Big Ball Factory

2. Trampoline Tower (lots of red and grey rods that the BBF doesn't come with)

3. Screamin Serpent
