Hey Allan,
My understanding is that the 1x1 brick with stud on only
one side is not produced by TLC because the patent (!) is
still owned by Ritvik and used in MegaBloks. That's why
they could only do the 1x4 like that, at least until the
part comes out from under the copyright window. So I guess
this is a reverse application of the law that protects TLC's
special elements.
I'm really stoked to see that they opted to do a two-sided
version, though. That really does have some possibilities!

Me too. Hey, Huw (and anyone else who got one of those),
how much do they go for? I'm arriving in the UK next week
and there is an Argos just down the street from where I will
be living.
thanks
