Here's some more detail: > http://www.marzdistribution.com/insideMarz/moreinfo.cfm?ID=MBLOKS-9873 28 pieces for $9.99. The actual product differs greatly from the picture shown on Marzdistribution, more than can be explained by simple product alteration. The main creature, the setting, and the figures are all different. It includes three troll-guys in the style of Dragons figures and some kind of beast with a coarse mane (as opposed to a Coors man, a main course or a Maine Chorus). > http://www.marzdistribution.com/insideMarz/moreinfo.cfm?ID=MBLOKS-9868> I saw two incarnations of this item: set# 9865 with 24 pieces and 9866 with 26 pieces, each for $4.99. The product graphics differ slightly from those shown here, but the tin box is embossed and painted in the style of 70's-era lunchboxes. I couldn't get a good sense of the contents, other than a few figures and scenery elements, though one of the boxes included a new "wooden" doorway. > http://www.marzdistribution.com/insideMarz/moreinfo.cfm?ID=MBLOKS-9885 114 pieces for $29.99. This set appears to have a bunch of new pieces, including those large gates, the catamaran, and new scenery elements. Not sure of how many figures there are. > http://www.marzdistribution.com/insideMarz/moreinfo.cfm?ID=MBLOKS-9895 250 pieces for $49.99. I was surprised with how cool this set looked, and it's bigger than I thought, too. I don't think it's compatible with LEGO hulls, nor whether the dragon figurehead is detachable. In addition to the new troll-ish figures, the series has added (I believe) two new armies of knights, with an arsenal of new weapons and new rectangular and hexagonal body-shields. This series also includes chrome weapons (apparently one per set) and new "crystals" for the armies to fight about. Also, here's a list of the BTR stuff on the shelf: Avalanche Rescue GI Joe Forest Fox GI Joe Depth Ray Cobra Raven each for $12.99 Optimus Prime (not a great rendition, IMO) for $19.99 Locust Rock Crusher Demolishor Mountain Rescue Forest Fire Rescue Jet Fire each for $7.99 More detail will follow as I accumulate it. Dave!

		Also new Probuilder at Wal-mart (Re: New MB Dragons, MB Power Rangers, and Hasbro BTR at Target)
The new Probuilder Harley Davidson is at Wal-mart. They also had a new set that makes 10 vehicles (I assume not a the same time but could be mistaken) with mostly blue parts. They were up on the top shelf so I could barely see it let alone get the (...) (21 years ago, 7-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
