For those still afflicted with the compulsion to stack those 3D pixels, there's help in the form of a free virtual version (OSX only, sorry), with enough options to make any obsessed drool. Infinite white (or any other color) blocks. Rotate your model in realtime without fear of dropping it.



The Minifigure editor alone is worth the download:



No lego for me; I recall playing as a little kid with something very much like these ones (even while there's some nebulous memory of a logo or brandname etched on each piece, something vaguely german-sounding...). Eight and four-pegged red blocks with an embossed mortar texture on the sides. White, hinged window and door pieces than swinged open. Cardboard green roofs. Slanted half-cubes...

Maybe it was Tente (made by Exin)?




Ersatz-Lego, with enough difference (those central holes, lighter pieces) to make it workable.

Douglas Coupland on White Lego:

"... A white Lego sculpture of a human skull has this caption: “I’ve always thought that Lego was the opposite of death. Everything in the Lego universe is perfect and crisp and anti-death. When I was young I always thought death wasn’t heaven or hell but simply a Lego building taken apart and tossed back into the whisky box and rattled around a bit.” And another statement that (like Holzer’s Truisms) seems like a truth that conceals a joke as its dagger: “I also think that the future is like white Lego. Clean. Plastic. Stainless.”"

Just found they must have been Halsam bricks. Just watching the parts list sparked some serious haptic flashbacks. Yeah, those were the ones. Except for that big garage door and venetian-shades window which weren't in the set I played with, I can just feel in my figertips each one of the other pieces.
