A toy building set includes a plurality of building members each including at least one coupling mechanism for coupling with similar coupling mechanisms in other building members. The coupling mechanism including a proximal portion and a distal portion connected to the proximal portion. The distal portion includes at least one flexible locking element configured to be releasably locked with a plurality of similar flexible locking elements in the distal portions of other similar coupling mechanisms when the distal portion of the coupling mechanism is pushed toward the proximal portions of the other coupling mechanisms to deform the flexible locking elements from an undeformed state to a deformed state to produce locking forces in a locked position. The coupling mechanism is detachable from the other coupling mechanisms by applying a sufficient force pulling the coupling mechanism apart from the other coupling mechanisms to deform the flexible locking elements to overcome the locking forces produced by the flexible locking elements in the deformed state and return the flexible locking elements to the undeformed state in the unlocked position.
In a toy building set of the type which includes a plurality of building members each including at least one coupling mechanism for coupling with similar coupling mechanisms in other building members, the improvement comprising a coupling mechanism including:
