Flexible module connector building toy set

Abstract

A toy building set that contains a plurality of building members. At least one of the building members includes a connector attached to a flexible linkage. The connector can snap onto the linkage of another building member. Allowing the connector to be snapped onto the linkage of another member provides flexibility in the location of the attachment and the design of the structure created from the building set. The flexible nature of the linkages also provides greater artistic freedom in creating a structure with the building set.
