I'm a little surprised that these didn't do better based on the fact that Lego teamed up with Upper Deck on this venture. They are one of the premier brands in collectable sports cards.

Hello, Does anyone have any information or pictures of the pavement tiles included in this set? To me, they appear to be 8x12 or 8x16. I am wondering if they are all flat or if they have a border of studs? Are they typical abs or softer? For uses, I (...) (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.inv, lugnet.sports, lugnet.town)
