| The rec.toys.lego faq has information on brick dimensions. You can find it at (URL) see section 13. I might buy one of these on a keyring, if they werent too expensive (no more than $5.00). It would probably last longer than the one Lego sells, mine (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.general)
