This is mostly for reddit, but I'll let this community chime in too. I'm trying to remember an old building toy I no longer have. I'll post the original text here.

Okay so I can't find this *anywhere* online, on Google, anyplace, and I'm hoping at least one person remembers it so I know it wasn't some false memory.

It was a building toy, with parts you could detach and rearrange. The connectors were octagonal male-to-female-types (they were sort of hard to connect/reconnect). The set I had was some kind of aircraft/spaceship. It was red and black, with triangular wings, and a black chassis with a translucent orange cockpit that raised and lowered. There was nothing inside the cockpit and it seemed that the "controls" piece fit on the outside because there was no connector inside the cockpit. There were some other connectors that held the circular red "engine" pieces, and there *may* have been some sort of weaponry, but I'm not sure. No figurines came with the set. I'm not sure if I got it new or used.

If anybody remembers this set or any others that may have gone with the line, please help me out! It's driving me nuts!

It's not a mechano set is it?

Nope, not Meccano. I'm starting to think I got some kind of obscure one-off set that's faded from existence.

Upvoting as I’m now curious. I live a good mystery.
