(...) Unfortunately, it's the legacy of Jack Stone: (URL) I think the reason for all the juniorized parts is that it could be cheaper to produce and handle, say, one 1x2x5 than five 1x2s. Or, one BURP rock vs. the equivalent several dozen bricks. (...) (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

The picture is from the new knights kingdom big bionidor type sets, on the back of the instructions. Phil scanned the back of the 8774 - 'Vladek' instructions. (I actually nipped to TrU at lunch to buy the set to get a closer look - sad, huh) (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)
