Mechanix (4) Construction Sets
Mechanix(4) Construction metal construction sets were Polylong(1a) type sets. The boxes say that they were made in China on behalf of the UK company B&M Retail Ltd. These sets were being sold in B&M stores from late 2020 to 2021.
The models are identical to some of the Metal Tech models, so these sets are obviously supplied through RMS International.
