| As you say, they will turn up from time to time just like everything else.

I would prefer to see them in the catalog.
Used parts will show up in random lots in a few years time anyway.
Now that LEGO is using them like this, maybe it is time to reconsider.

This leads to the question: are Braille bricks 2x4 bricks?
And do we need a new category?

| Too true, Hilary Page didn’t seem to see the full potential of the self locking
bricks.

I can't believe that Mega Bloks has never been sued out of existence by Lego
for copyright infringement of their design/product. I can't tell you the
countless hours I have spent separating non-Lego from genuine Lego parts only
to dump these fraudulent pieces into the garbage. Family members who give these
Mega Blok sets to their children/grandchildren/nieces/nephews etc., are proliferating
a continual crime in my opinion. These inferior products may at the onset look
like they can be combined with the Lego system of bricks, but in actuality ruin
the building experience that that child might have otherwise enjoyed if using
pure Lego only.

LOL! the non-lego brands are super annoying when sorting bulk.
However, don't forget that LEGO was once a clone brick brand as well copying
kiddicraft. So if kiddicraft had sued lego out of existence in 1949, what you're
suggesting lego do to mega-bloks now, then lego wouldn't exist today.

I had a terrible experience with a mega-bloks monster truck as a little kid.
I was never able to put it all the way together bc the tolerances were so bad
that pushing a piece in would pop one off somewhere else.
I'm guessing uninitiated gift buyers think they are getting more bang for
their buck, but I'd rather have had a modest $20 lego set back then than
a giant $20 cheap monster truck.
I will say that the halo figures they make are actually pretty cool and they
have some resell value as well which helps fund more lego purchases.

| Looks like some I’ve seen before, I believe it’s an ageing of the original white.
Some of these earlier pieces seem to age differently, possibly due to batches
of plastic and colourant used, some stay white others change to slightly off
white through to almost tan.

I have never seen this color or style. It has 4 lines of ribs on the back side.
It is a very light yellow color. I don't believe it is a "discolored white"
as it is very uniform and not the ugly off white color of discolored old lego.
