A construction block is provided that includes at least one base member that includes a plurality of lower side wall receptacles. The construction block further includes a plurality of side wall assemblies. Each of the side wall assemblies includes a plurality of interconnected panels. Each of the panels is hingedly connected to each adjacent one of the panels of the respective one of the side wall assemblies. Each of the side wall assemblies defines a hollow load chamber having an open top and an open bottom. At least some of the panels of each of the side wall assemblies are angled relative to one another. Each of the lower side wall receptacles receives one of the side wall assemblies.

What is claimed is: 1. A structure made from a kit of construction block components, said kit comprising: a plurality of base members; and a plurality of collapsible side wall assemblies; wherein each of said side wall assemblies comprises a plurality of hingedly interconnected panels, each of said sidewall assemblies being movable between a collapsed configuration and an erected configuration, wherein said side wall assemblies define, in said erected configuration, a hollow load chamber having an open top and an open bottom; said structure comprises a base layer comprising a first plurality of said base members disposed adjacent one another; said base layer of said structure further comprises a first plurality of said collapsible side wall assemblies, in said erected configuration; and each of said base members of said base layer releasably engages at least one of said erected side wall assemblies; said kit further comprises a plurality of lids; said base layer of said structure further comprises a first plurality of said lids; each of said first plurality of said erected side wall assemblies of said base layer releasably engages one of said first plurality of said lids; said base layer of said structure further comprises a first plurality of sets of said erected side wall assemblies, each of said first plurality of sets of said erected side wall assemblies comprising at least two connected ones of said erected side wall assemblies, each of said first plurality of sets of said erected side wall assemblies interconnecting an adjacent pair of said base members of said base layer; said structure further comprises a second layer comprising a second plurality of said base members; and each of said second plurality of said base members of said second layer is releasably engaged with at least one of said lids of said first plurality of said lids of said base layer. 2. The structure of claim 1, wherein: each of said panels of each of said side wall assemblies of said kit comprises first and second sides and a central portion extending between said first and second sides, said central portion having an inner surface and a generally planar outer surface, said generally planar outer surfaces of at least some of said panels of each of said side wall assemblies, when in said erected configuration, being angled relative to one another. 3. The structure of claim 2, wherein for each respective one of said side wall assemblies, when viewed in transverse cross-section and when said side wall assembly is in said erected configuration: said generally planar outer surfaces of said central portions of said panels cooperate to define a polygon. 4. The structure of claim 3, wherein: said polygon is an octagon. 5. The structure of claim 3, wherein: each of said panels of each of said side wall assemblies comprises a thermoplastic material. 6. The structure of claim 1, wherein: each of said second plurality of said base members of said second layer is releasably engaged with each one of an adjacent pair of said lids of said first plurality of said lids of said base layer; and said second layer further comprises a second plurality of sets of said erected side wall assemblies, each of said sets of said second plurality of said erected side wall assemblies comprising at least two connected ones of said erected side wall assemblies; each of said second plurality of said sets of said erected side wall assemblies of said second layer releasably engages each one of an adjacent pair of said second plurality of said base members of said second layer; and each of said load chambers of said second layer communicates with a respective one of said load chambers of said base layer. 7. The structure of claim 6, further comprising: ballast material filling at least some of said load chambers of said base layer and at least partially filling at least some of said load chambers of said second layer. 8. The structure of claim 1, wherein: each of said base members of said kit comprises upper and lower surfaces, said lower surface defining a plurality of recessed ledges having a first shape; and each of said lids of said kit comprises upper and lower surfaces and a plurality of protrusions extending upwardly from said upper surface, said protrusions having a second shape that is complementary with said first shape of said recessed ledges of said base members of said kit. 9. The structure of claim 1, wherein: each of said base members of said kit, each of said panels of each of said side wall assemblies of said kit and each of said lids of said kit comprises a thermoplastic material. 10. A structure made from a kit of construction block components, said kit comprising: a plurality of base members; and a plurality of collapsible side wall assemblies; wherein each of said side wall assemblies comprises a plurality of hingedly interconnected panels, each of said sidewall assemblies being movable between a collapsed configuration and an erected configuration, wherein said side wall assemblies define, in said erected configuration, a hollow load chamber having an open top and an open bottom; said structure comprises a base layer comprising at least some of said plurality of said base members disposed adjacent one another; said base layer of said structure further comprises a plurality of sets of said side wall assemblies; and each of said plurality of said sets of said side wall assemblies comprises at least two connected ones of said side wall assemblies, each being in said erected configuration, and interconnects an adjacent pair of said base members of said base layer. 11. The structure of claim 10, further comprising: ballast material at least partially filling at least some of said load chambers of said base layer. 12. The structure of claim 10, wherein: each of said base members of said kit and each of said panels of each of said side wall assemblies of said kit comprises a thermoplastic material. 13. The structure of claim 10, wherein: each of said panels of each of said side wall assemblies of said kit comprises first and second sides and a central portion extending between said first and second sides, said central portion having an inner surface and a generally planar outer surface, said generally planar outer surfaces of at least some of said panels of each of said side wall assemblies, when in said erected configuration, being angled relative to one another. 14. The structure of claim 13, wherein for each respective one of said side wall assemblies, when viewed in transverse cross-section and when said side wall assembly is in said erected configuration: said generally planar outer surfaces of said central portions of said panels cooperate to define a polygon. 15. The structure of claim 14, wherein: said polygon is an octagon. 16. The structure of claim 14, wherein: each of said panels of each of said side wall assemblies comprises a thermoplastic material.
