@Jameson – Concerning the Noah’s Ark commercial, I have found that pretty much any statement that LEGO makes regarding what they will or will not do has to be taken with a grain of salt. They once said that they wouldn’t have distinguishing racial features on their figs. That went out the window with the basketball players. They said they wouldn’t make modern firearms. That was proven false with the first Batman sets. They even once said that purple was being discontinued and look how long that lasted. There are many other examples but the point is that they are a company and money is the bottom line…not some statement made in the past.

However, I wouldn’t really call this commercial “religous” in nature. Yes, Noah’s Ark is from the Bible but it has become a common cultural reference as well. Just my two cents.

I’ve got some Znap… I bought it on clearance at BrickFest 2000, then didn’t do anything with it until a couple years ago when I built a Vic Viper out of it. Interesting building system, but nowhere near the flexibility of K’nex. The only real bonus with Znap is it connects directly to Technic bits.

I remember that Pirates Islanders commercial. So cool.

That Noah’s Ark commercial seems strange to me… I thought LEGO doesn’t do religious material?
