Hi, I was just at TRU today and I looked at the Mega Bloks area (by accident, really!). They have a new 1700-piece set that builds an aircraft carrier! It's selling for $79.99 CDN and when built, the model is over 3 feet long. Also includes 7 (8?) (...) (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I bought a few military sets with a total of about 15 figures, and all of them were yellow. I'm not sure about the rest of the line, but the catalog seems to indicate a predominantly yellow population. Dave! (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

After going through much of what's available in Lego of present and (through ebay) past, I've been surprised by some recent Mega Blok stuff and think other Lego fans may want to check this stuff out-- They have a 1400 piece gray Kittyhawk aircraft (...)
