I have no idea what "brain flakes" are and Amazon is a pile of shit here in Australia.
I'm guessing either a breakfast cereal or a GM coating specification?

Amazon just launched. They might get better over time no?
I think Brain Flakes is available on Amazon and Catch down under!
​
Brain Flakes is an interlocking plastic disc toy that teaches kids spatial thinking while giving parents some much needed peace.
Watch our awesome video produced by my team!

Holy fucking shit that is awesome! You guys are fucking amazing, it's tactile and spatial and brilliant!

Thank you!!

Mu son is blind, so something like this is seriously brilliant.
Fucking elegant in the simplicity!
We have a house full of Lego and mechano and a million other things, but nothing like this.
Good on you guys for doing this shit

That's cool! If he can play Lego and meccanno he can definitely use Brain FLakes too!
Thank you that means a lot to me, I'll share with our team!!

It's just plastic tinker toy trash marketed at kids.

Fuck off. Tinker Toy is okay to an extent - I can't tell you how many wooden dowels I've filed down so it fits.
It doesn't do a lot for people that learn through tactile interaction.

I was knocking tinker toy knock offs. Seems like we had perfect engineering toys growing up but all these companies are making them from cheaper materials and redesigning them to be shittier than the OGs; Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys, Erector Sets.
Engineering toys can be great and made from better materials; Brain Flakes are trash that will eventually break down enough to fit into your bloodstream.

While I think our quality could be better (I'm a Brain Flakes perfectionist), we have 4.8/5 stars on Amazon which is pretty good for a plastic toy on Amazon.
Try our product. If it breaks, report that on reddit or e-mail support at viahart dot com and we'll give you a refund without a return.

Glorious. Can guarantee rhe Tinker Toy I played with as a kid weren't ethically and sustainably sourced. Nor did the tees have a gender identity or preferred pronoun.
Out of idle curiosity, may I ask you do for a living?

lol. I'm a metal worker.
My criticism; Companies are purposely making a material (that gets more hazardous every year) universally known for being trash, into a crappy product that would've come in a cereal box 30 years ago and markets it to parents under the guise of engineering enrichment.
Lead paint is probably the reason your panties are in a twist now, that's why we don't use it for kids toys anymore.
