Today I discovered that Megabloks has started using new molds, at least for its 2x4 bricks. A few days ago I built set #9762 Destroyer. Somehow the bricks felt different. I'm still not sure why, but closer investigation has revealed: 1) the logo is (...) (22 years ago, 7-Dec-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Yes, I bought many of these sets back between 1978 and say the mid-1980s, but no longer build with them. They are stored out in the garage as sorted elements. Perhaps a 100 pounds of them.
