Official KNEX MLP Sets this year

[gabumon]

Sorry if this is a duplicate, I didn't see any right away about this.

I won't post the link but there are official MLP KNEX sets coming out!  I love building block systems and normally I would be CRAZYWILD about this.  But it's just not clicking for me.  Maybe they look too preschool?  Maybe I'm a Lego/Kreo snob and can't get into KNEX?

Other opinions?  (I'd post the link with photos but I think we're not supposed to?)

I looked it up and found the pictures. Those are really cute to me! I love building sets. My mom loves minions so I always buy her the mega blok sets and build them because nothing I like comes in building sets 
Now I can get my own!
I do wish they were a bit more complex.. They do look very simple possibly aiming for children very young.
Hopefully they could up the complexity a little as the line establishes more? Either way I'll probably end up purchasing them.

Also a sidenote- the ponies remind me of the pop ponies released by hasbro.

From what I gave heard they are under the "Tinkertoy" label. They are about as similar to LEGO as Lincoln Logs. As long as they aren't brick based they are a totally different toy imho. Otherwise it would be like saying you can't have Barbies because you are a MLP purist.

ya maybe that's what I'm stuck on - they're more like tinkertoys than traditional "knex"
