| (...) Interesting. I've heard reports of Mega Bloks sets being re-routed from other countries back to the US for sale here, but until now I hadn't seen any in stores near me. AFAIK the production facilities for Mega Bloks are in North America and (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jan-07, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, FTX)
