I've been thinking of trading my standard coaster parts like the track, trains, X track connectors, big chains, track tubing, etc.... for micro coaster stuff and regular micro connectirs.

Please let me know if you would be interisted in something like this. I have the following sets I can part out

- 3x Screaming Serpent
- 2x rippin rocket
- 1x original yellow track roller coaster

I have alot of extra stuff too, mainly the X connectors and the track tubing. I'm always finding stuff here and there since I decided to go through everything and organize my sets and extra pieces.

PLMK if your interisted
Wolfgang

I've never cared for Micro sets but I just wanted to notify you to change 'Interested' in the title. I'm sure there may be some people who want to trade for Micro but I stick with SS. Hope you can work out a trade. Hit 'edit' then 'go advanced' and you can change the title that way.

Man, best deal ever for me.

I've been waiting to get rid of my micro K'nex collection for a while now, and this is a good opportunity. I'll take all of your SS for my entire collection (~8k peices).

I have a few sets. Maybe 5,000 pieces or so. I'll trade 2 SS for it, if that isn't a bad deal for you. Also, I haven't aske my parents, so I don't know if they'll approve of this or not.

I have a whole VV I'm willing to give away, in exchange for some grey rods, maybe 2-way connectors, and/or some track ties. If you can, I would LOVE a middle car.

I just want to inform you that VV and micro track are not compatible. VV track has metal rods on the ends while standard micro track has nubs.

Oh I didnt realize that... Anyway i replied your pm before I saw this, but I dont really have a specification for what I want in terms of numbers until i know what you have, to be fair. Also, a whole train is acceptable.

I'll take pics and edit them into this post later. I'm pretty sure they'd be okay with it too.
Edit: they said I could, may I ask where youre from? You can PM me your state. (and address) if you don't want it to be available for the world to see.

I know the VV and micro's wont work together, that really sucks but I have a fair amount of the VV track, so i'm interisted in it too. I prefer the micro track, the track with the nubs.

I'm located in OHIO, United States

As you can see, its a good 4 inches tall. I'm not including this box in the trade.

All together again, in bags that you will receive the parts if you accept the trade. :)


I do realize that this is a lot of VV, and a 1/4 is micro. If youre building with tubes, this should actually help you, as you will get more precise lengths. Also, rods like the black ones make a great backbone rod, as shown:
