Well, I'm 6'5", so I see the world from a slightly different angle. I think
the 2.75 bricks/meter value was fairly closely correlated from Star Wars sets,
though I'm not entirely sure when that happened. I think the sizes of the A-
Wing and X-Wing were compared with those from Blueprints, and the value fell
somewhere close to 2.75. But as was stated in other messages, minifigs are
extremely wacky, scalewise. Use whatever you feel comfortable with, somewhere
between 2.5 and 3 bricks/meter.
