HOW?!

How does it even fucking happen? Some of my blue balls are bigger than the other ones! The difference is slight enough that I can't see it, but it's relevant to mess with my chutes. What do?

Also, Rokenbok general.

Or just use the chutes that don't clog.

I'm worried that I'm going to end up having to throw out half the blue ones. I wish I could just not use shoots that clog, but the fucking water tower is the only one I have right now.

I'm also thinking that even if I get a water tower, it'll have the same problem.

Maybe I should shave some of the blue ones down.

Why is everyone talking like these are regularly discussed here?

I've never heard of rokenbok

They may not be regularly discussed, but OP's question's pretty basic. "Thing does not go in hole, how to fix".

I mean, I wish they were discussed more. These toys are fucking awesome.

I've had my set for 15 years, and they're still as good as new. I always thought they were a good learning tool since they taught creative thinking in the form of hackjob solutions to problems. It was perfect for me, since being a little boy and loving construction and Tonka, along with RC cars, this hit all the points with me.

Have a look at some of showoff videos on youtube. This is probably one of the products that got most of the advertising there, since I've never seen any kind of banner ad or anything on TV for this. Odd, considering even now it still holds some fascination for me.

They may not get brought up often, but ALOT of us have memories of stating wistfully into the demo box at a toy store and watching the amazing contraptions work.

These were they days when the demo was fully functional. Everything worked. The trucks fetched the balls. The elevators lifted them. The trains carried them. The stations dumped them.

It's the kind of thing that REALLY impresses upon a kid.
