| What set had clear 1 x 1 tiles? I've got one here in a mixed lot I purchased. It's not on Peeron, it's not on BL - but it does have sale data on BL. Any info would be great! Thanks in advance. Jennifer (22 years ago, 7-Apr-03, to lugnet.inv) !

| (...) My guess would be that this is one from the Legoland Modelmakers which has made it into circulation after being picked up at one of the Legoland Windsor 'Red Letter Days' last year. For info and as an explanation, one of the post-RLD, er, (...) (22 years ago, 7-Apr-03, to lugnet.inv)

| (...) I'm kind of doubting that it's from LLW. I purchased the lot off of a family with 3 boys, the rest of the collection is from 1989ish to 1999ish. I don't think they've purchased anything more recently as the last year or 2 or 3. :) Jennifer (22 years ago, 7-Apr-03, to lugnet.inv)

| Didn't a bunch of the early town cars use clear 1x1 bricks as lights? Could be from an early police set.... "Jennifer L. Boger" <jenn@peeron.com> wrote in message news:1049727484.3e91...ron.com... (...) has (...) there (...) not, (...) family (...) (...) (22 years ago, 7-Apr-03, to lugnet.inv)

| (...) Clear 1x1 tiles are common among clone brands, and they often don't have any clone-specific markings on them. Does the tile in question show the LEGO part number anywhere? Dave! (22 years ago, 7-Apr-03, to lugnet.inv)

| Quoting Dave Schuler! <dschuler@federatedinv.com>: (...) This crossed my mind that it might be a clone, but the plastic seems genuine, there's no lego markings, it's got the groove, and unlike the clones that were in the batch (tyco and megablok), (...) (22 years ago, 7-Apr-03, to lugnet.inv)

| (...) Hey now, clone plastic is genuine--it's just not genuine *ABS*! Good call about the Tyco height thing, and I don't believe MegaBloks has produced a 1x1 tile to date. Coko is the other brand that comes to mind, of which a Wal*Mart promotional (...) (22 years ago, 7-Apr-03, to lugnet.inv)

| I missed the plates part. Sorry, my bad. I can't think of any set that used 1x1 clear PLATES.... It must have been some early set. Definitely wasn't space or castle, I have most of those. :D It had to have been a town set. "Jennifer L. Boger" (...) (22 years ago, 7-Apr-03, to lugnet.inv)

| No, no. Lots of sets used clear 1 x 1 plates, i'm asking about clear 1 x 1 tiles though. And it can't be too "early" cause the collection i received it in is from 1989 to 1999 (ish). I'm open to the possiblity that it's a clone, but i'm also hopeful (...) (22 years ago, 7-Apr-03, to lugnet.inv)

| Yeah, I got it the first time, but I still managed to type plates instead of TILES. That's what happens when you stare at a computer screen too long. I can't think of any sets that had clear TILES. I still say it had to be an early town set..... (...) (22 years ago, 7-Apr-03, to lugnet.inv)

| (...) hmm. does this mean that the few 1 x 1 clear tiles that sold on BL were... CLONES?! $.45 each for the grooved variety, tad more on average for the undetermined variety. hmmmm Jennifer (22 years ago, 7-Apr-03, to lugnet.inv)
