    Need help remembering name of plastic/crystal like building blocks.

    Does anybody remember a building brick that was made of white translucent plastic? The bricks were larger than most legos and could be stacked together in a similar manner. The sets also came with clear domes that could be put on top of the buildings you created. I think it was called something like Crystal City blocks but I'm just not sure. I got a box of them in 1980 and have been trying to figure out what they were called so I can one day reaquire a set.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Are you thinking of Crystal Climbers? Check this older post:

    Thin, plastic tiles (in a range of different colors) with four slits in each one. You'd connect them sliding the tiles into the slits (no sex jokes, please). I played with these in the early to mid-1970s, if that helps. Here's a rough example that I made in MS Paint:
    "What motivated him to throw a puppy at the Hells Angels is currently unclear,"

    Starroid Raiders Dagon wrote "No Dime Store Monster left behind"
