I cannot think of the name of this toy I had when I was a youngster.
I am guessing it was late 70's early 80's.
It was kinda like an erector set, but with plastic pieces, and you made skysrapers/buildings with it, it had plastic squares for windows/doors..
Anyone have any idea what the name of it is, It's driving me crazy~

Sounds maybe like 'Legos'? I had a huge set of legos when I was a kid, I loved 'em. I used to like to make starship enterprise, and use my plastic army men and cowboys and play 'Star Trek'. Legos are still around and going strong though...maybe that's not what you're talking about...

Edited to add: the website has some very new looking stuff, but if you go to ebay, you'll find the things us oldies remember.

How many times those stupid grey beams cracked?? Or was that because I would always shoot those blue connectors through the air off of the beam? Perhaps that is what did it.. :)
