A toy from my childhood
I need help figuring out what the name of a toy I played with I was young. It was kind of an outdoor activity. I used to have a box full of pipes.. white plastic pipes and at the ends of them were little connectors so different pipes fit on the ends of others. There was all different shapes and sizes of the pipes some were short or long and some were in an "L" shape. The activity came with a booklet that walked you through how to make different things such as a house or even a little car. The set came with little black wheels to complete the car! I'm going crazy trying to find the name and if they are still made. I want to say the name was something like Pipe works... or pipe porks... I've tried finding them on the internet and no luck can anyone help!!

What were K'Nex called before though.
I had them... but I know they were not called that.
I remember making the Batmobile with them.
This is going to drive me crazy... was it Erector or something like that?

I can even see the special box it came in. It has individual compartments for each set of pieces.

Have a look at this: K'Nex
Before the plastic K'Nex came out there was a wooden "version" called Tinkertoys, so that could be it.
