(...) Interesting! Do you have any other info? (ie., What kind of truck/how many pieces/what price/Lego-compatibility/was it in the LEGO aisle?) I haven't yet seen anything like this in my local Wal*Mart, but I wasn't really looking for it, either. (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
