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.
