Cool--I'll have to watch for that.
I happened upon an unexpected toy aisle in Sears in which several small
MEGABLOKS sets were available in the $5.00 to $10.00 range. These are re-issues
of older sets, this time under the label ModelMax Pro. Included in the
inventory was the gray 9709 fighter jet and a number of other sets that used to
come in plastic grip-n-go cases. Some people may be intersted in these sets
because they come with the classic MEGABLOKS canopy piece in trans-red and
trans-white, for example, as well as the trans-black bubble canopy from the 9709
fighter. These sets are all re-issued under different lot #'s, so that the 9709
is not called 9709 in this incarnation, but they appear otherwise identical
(including 4 of those cool 2x2 cones in black).
The only thing that troubles me is that these sets are packaged in boxes much
larger than necessary, resulting in a worrisome waste of paper. There are
better windmills to tilt at, I know, but it just seems like an odd choice for
the good people at MEGABLOKS to have made.
Dave!
