(...) OK, now that I've had some time with the little things, I can give an idea of how they work. First, the height/width ratio is slightly different from that of normal Lego or Mega Bloks - two plates (or one brick) tall equals one brick's width, (...)

Just wanted to let everyone know, I ran into my local Meijers today and found the Nano line by Mega Bloks. I picked up a 5.99 set the 5901 red convertable. I like the set a lot.

Not the Nano stuff yet (which is already giving me headaches re: LDraw modelling...), but I did spot two new Command Ops sets. One was a very small one-man fighter jet, and the other was a sort of Arctic wheels-and-skis vehicle. I didn't get much (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
