Actually, I bought the various little metal boxes of figs for use in D&D. I
ended up with a number of little hill pieces, as well as the juniorized wall
segments. I've taken these and used them to make a little tower on one of the
bases, which I use as a pencil/pen holder, which I'm rather fond of.
While playing around with the megablox sets I've gotten from Dragon, I've not
noticed any problem with connecting pieces... but maybe I haven't used them
enough. (Again - mostly got on sale or for the figures.)

They did release various small metal tins of the figures, though. And I'm quite
fond of the fancy little weapons - again, for D&D. :)
