I see that Ritvik is implementing what AFOL have asked for.in the dictionary! gotta throw my two cents in here and admit that i seriously believe megabloks is answering the afol's requests. i picked up the smaller tank model (around 300 pieces for $10.00) and the battleship model (around 800 pieces for $20.00) and i'm quite pleased with both of these models. (reviews to show up somewhere in the near future.) awesome numbers of pieces in each set at a VERY affordable price. also, it's incredible how the company could have easily passed out a lot of 4x8, 4x10, 4x12 plates but instead do the construction with a larger number of 2x4 plates. true, the bricks don't have the nice "shiny" quality and there are still some points in designs that could use some improvement, but the company i would neve even have LOOKED at before is getting a larger portion of my hobby-money then they used to get. ..joseph g
