As a child (about 20 years ago) I played with an outdoor modular
playset which was made up of different sized red tubes that could be
joined together with all different types of joints to create different
objects. There were also black square panels that could be clicked in
that would create a surface from a created frame and also wheels that
could be attached. I remember making an aeroplane which I could fit
into, and a slippery dip, and a cubby house. It came with an
instruction manual, alot like one for lego, describing how to make the
different objects. There were lots of different things you could make,
I have only quoted a few. I would like to purchase one of these sets
for my child. Where can I get them?

The play set that I am trying to find is similar to the Toobeez set,
but it was strong enough to carry kids as I remember creating a
slippery slide that you could actually slide down. I also rememeber
creating an aeroplane that I would push around with my bigger brother
sitting inside it.

The items in this set consisted of different sized red tubes ranging
from about 30cm to 120cm. These tubes were joined together with black
joints that would fit inside the tubes and be held with small black
nuts that would lock by turning 90degrees. The different joints
included joining 2 or more tubes at different angles. There were also
black square panels that created surfaces, e.g. any square setup could
have these panels clicked in to create a square with a surface vs just
a square frame.
