Given the colour variations in MEGA BLOKS I am sure they do just in time dying as well. BUT man it sure drops the quality of LEGOs product. So instead of pre-dyed plastic pellets, they either batch dye or on the fly dye them as they mold. NEITHER (...) (17 years ago, 4-Jul-07, to lugnet.general)

We often have big adult + kid parties. Both the boys and girls love to play with our big LEGO collection. Does anyone know a source for official LEGO themed stickers? I would love to have a stash to hand out to the children. Bryan (17 years ago, 3-Jul-07, to lugnet.general)
