Does anyone happen to own any MEGABLOKS catalogs from the early to mid 90's,

Also, does anyone have a catalog featuring the never-released Whitehouse
ProBuilder model?  I recall seeing it in a catalog that came with a purchase of
the 9760 Battleship back in 1999, but I don't have it anymore, either.

Lastly, does anyone know anything about the so-called "Wall" sets by MEGABLOKS?
Chris Gray posted a tantalizing inventory
<http://www.graysage.com/cg/Toys/Megabloks/wall.txt here,> after a very brief
mention <http://www.graysage.com/cg/Toys/Megabloks/index.html here,> but I
confess that I'd never even heard of these sets until about 10 minutes ago.
Does anyone (Chris, if you're around!) know when these sets were available?

Thanks as always for any info.

Dave!

Actually, those "Wall" sets were my very first Megabloks sets. Before them
(which came in a huge long box), I had seen similar sets in carry bags,
but didn't think they had enough bricks to be worth it. I think they had
the same amount, but the box *looked* bigger! The boxes even had bags in
them, which I now use for storage. I think I next got a couple of the
dinosaur sets. I just now found the instructions for #9701, which is a
brontosaurus set. I also have a small flyer showing other dinosaur sets.
I don't have a scanner, but if you want I can try to get someone to scan
them for me. The copyright on the instructions is 1993. The flyer has 1994,
and I have a small instruction book copyright 1993 that might have
been with one of the "Wall" sets.

I think I recall seeing the white house set in a flyer, but I haven't in
general kept the Megabloks flyers, so doubt if I have a picture of it.
