(...) Since a 2x4 is about 1.25 inches long I guess you'd be looking at a scale of about 1:9.6. So it would probably be just as easy to build it to 9 times original size, or 10 times. I have built a few 'jumbo' bricks like this and they are fairly (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Those old 2x8 bricks happen to be Samsonite Lego (USA/Canada) bricks made between 1964-70. For some reason the quality of the Samsonite molds was worse than those of European Lego. Many of the Samsonite Lego molds of the 1960's had re-stamped (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
