I also had this toy! Another lesson applicable to coding that this toy taught me was about the basics of standards, compatibility, and lock in. I believe I only had single set of Capsela, and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get them to satisfyingly inter-operate with lego, mechano, or any other building-toys. Getting more was a non-starter (pre-internet). My dad had brought it back from a business trip to SF where he visited FAO Schwarz, and I'm not even sure they sold other sets.

There was definitely more than one set. I remember that I had one and my friend had a different, larger set. According to wikipedia [0], they've been rebranded and are available (in Japan at least) [1].
