  Well why not?  They've already copied MegaBloks' 8x8 plate!  For those
unfamiliar with the MegaBloks set in question, I'll post a pic of it

there's a certain "look" demanded by the theme).  It amuses me greatly that
LEGO is now effectively operating as a clone of a clone.

  Thanks for the link and the info!
