| | | | | (...) If I was playing the devil's advocate, I would say that this train of thought suggests that there should be no bricks, only plates. After all, according to your math, there are only 24 ways to combine to 1x4 bricks, but there are 102,081,500 (...) (25 years ago, 20-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | (...) I didn't realise there was a 1x4x3 brick (!!). I've only seen thinwalls and windows of that dimension; the thinwalls, of course, don't count as POOPs, because they perform a service that cannot be rendered with standard bricks--namely, making (...)

You can't use them in Space, Town (for the most part), or anything nautical like Hydronauts or boats. Using them would be akin to (...) (25 years ago, 20-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)
