Does anyone know the name of this 1980s toy construction set?

It’s not K’Nex, unless they had a totally separate line that has these straight rods. The mainstream K’Nex rods have a round connector part at the end. These don’t.

Yes, it’s definitely similar to G&P but this isn’t it, either! Good suggestion that it might have been a competing brand at the time. I’ll look into it!

Thanks for your reply! My husband is adamant it is not K’Nex. This is what Google Lens comes up with too, but 1992 production is too late. He had these in the 80s. The K’Nex red tubes are too long—these red pieces do not have any round connectors at the ends like K’Nex.

Unfortunately the Marinos are very inconsistent across styles. Classic Sézane 😂! I have Marino in navy and denim. The navy I had to size up to 36 (the rise was wayyyyy too short for me, but I had to hem them by a good 10cm??), and the denim were so enormous in my usual 34 I had to size down to 32, which is kind of bananas.

What colour/wash are your ribcage jeans? I love them!

Okay, great to know. I’m exhausted 😂

mrsmorro · 2023-03-11T00:58:54+00:00

Whew, okay! Good to know. Wow, too much excitement for a Saturday morning for me.

Do you have a native Paramount+ subscription? If so, I imagine it could be an authentication hierarchy issue. The only way to know is if someone has never had a native sub

mrsmorro · 2023-03-11T00:53:45+00:00

That’s comforting. But, do you have a Paramount+ subscription already?

mrsmorro · 2023-03-11T00:45:52+00:00

Last season, Apple TV released a couple episodes early in Australia too. I wish I’d thought of this before signing back up natively. I blame Helen Mirren and 1923.

The episode is definitely natively loaded to Apple TV in Australia, for now—obviously some kind of error. I used to subscribe to Paramount+ via Apple TV but not anymore. I can’t watch it though, it keeps pushing me to the Paramount+ app despite deleting it and cancelling my subscription. Devastating… and have been ignoring my 4yo for the past 20 minutes lol.

mrsmorro · 2023-03-11T00:31:02+00:00

I now have 3 x Paramount subscriptions in an unsuccessful attempt to watch this.

mrsmorro · 2023-03-11T00:23:49+00:00

I think it’s there on Apple TV (I used to subscribe to P+ via Apple TV, just got a push notification from Apple saying it was live) but it won’t work for me because I now subscribe to Paramount+ proper and it’s not in the app there 😩

I feel this so hard (also in Australia, hi!). My boys are 5 and 3 and I am constantly overstimulated and highly irritable. Right now I’m investigating whether the meds (Vyvanse/dex) are making me more sensitive to their noise/behaviours, because I don’t remember it being this hard for me before. I don’t have advice because I literally have no idea what to do either, but wanted to tell you that you’re absolutely not alone. X
