male to male that
are exactly 1/3 brick high, (plate with studs on both sides).  They come in
colors of floresent green, gray, and black. I haven't picked up most of
the "Pro Builders" series, so I don't know if they have some other colors in
the tan military set, or in the F-1, or purple in the monster truck and a
couple of the other set's like that.

O.K., for the first time my local TRU has a rather large selection of
MegaBlocks.  I was impressed with the high price:part ratio in their sets, and
some of the models actually looked quite good.  There was a tank with a lot of
tan bricks that was tempting.  The Battleship set was sold out, but I saw the
picture at the MegaBlocks web site.  Plentiful light gray bricks!

I'm thinking about biting the bullet.  But I'd greatly prefer to buy a set with
some gender-changers.  Anyone know for sure yet which sets have them and which
don't?

Why don't people ask me? I'm one of the BEST resident experts on clones and clone piece types. Tyco made male to male gender changers. They unfortunately have a 1/6 bick space that the studs attatch to. (For those that need help understanding the (...) (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
