Recently on a visit to the local Doller Store, I happened across this in
the aisle--
Yep--MegaBlok packages containing basic bricks, all for a buck.

Holy moley! Where did you see these? In Canadialand? Which province?
And which dollar store (since there are so many variations)? And do you
really spell it “Doller” up there? Is that like “humour”?
Any idea of a piece-count in the bags? Do they appear to contain a uniform
distribution of bricks, or is it random?
What? You mean that you didn’t memorize every detail? Why not?!? You
knew I’d be reading!

I was originally going to CC clone brands, but eh, lazy and all that :)
It was the Dollar Store (my bad speeling....) at Eastgate Mall in Hamilton,
Ontario, Canada
The pieces look pretty uniform--plates and bricks in specific colours--blue,
red, white. I didn’t look too closely, but when I visit next time I’ll get
the full details (maybe with pics!)

I have a couple of these in brown that I bought at a WalMart (in Maryland) a
couple years ago. I think the original price was $2 and they were on
clearance for .25 or .50. I’ll see if I can find one.

I remember WalMart had a lot of MB stuff at the time. There were similar packs
of transparent elements, and maybe a windshield pack? Those might have been the
same thing. The most interesting product was a tackle box stuffed with a bunch
of these bulk packs.
