In the « Bricks And Figures » blog I read a note about Block Tech bricks available at Walmart, I took a chance and went to my local store to see what they had.
I ended with four 20x20 plates (one per bag), I took two blue and two in sand color, blue matches perfectly with Lego, sand is a bit lighter. The size is not a standard one but it would work with what I had in mind.
When I got home I took care to check if the size was the right one before opening all, some time ago I bought a Brictek baseplate package (two 16x32 studs) those are almost 1mm longer than the Lego ones, it adds a lot of stress on the bricks and causes problems when trying to build something (starts bending) completely useless. The Block Tech ones are perfect! I will probably buy more.
I have the Lego set 6490, it was a good improvement for the display, more playable...
