Check out this auction!

I know, I know...this is not the right group for auction announcements,
but I think this one might qualify as an exception.  Here is a link to
an eBay auction where someone (not me) is selling 16,000 Modulex bricks:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=190357323

It looks like a really nice and well kept collection.  And look at those
colors!  I have said this before, but I think these kinds of bricks in
these colors might really entice more adults to build with Lego.  If
these were commonly available, I would seriously consider switching from
Lego to Modulex bricks.  You could build a lot more detail in the same
amount of space and the experience would still be basically the same.
The big drawback would be the lack of specialized pieces.

Anyway, I thought this auction warranted a lugnet.general posting...just
to see the images alone.

Not directly related with this auction, but what is strange to me that they have patent rights of their product, even in Turkey, and during 60's. The first Lego sets ever been imported and started to have been seen on shelves of stores are in 1984 (...) (25 years ago, 2-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
