PCS Edventures has partnered with Mega Bloks to be their partner in the education market. Presumably this means their BrickLab kit will feature MegaBloks instead of Lego. Longtime Lugnetters may remember Richard Wright (aka Weird Richard). (URL) (21 years ago, 10-Dec-04, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I like the white chuch, and I really like the trees. Also, I'm always amazed at how many different ways there are to build a 2-wide car with the limited LDD Factory contest pallette. LDD is growing on me too - but I wish there was a way to view a (...) (21 years ago, 10-Dec-04, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

I certainly hope that when they refer to "some parts" being too high quality for their purpose that they will NEVER apply this principle to the brick. *gulp* I also think that the reduction in colors is a good idea so that the remaining colors can (...) (21 years ago, 9-Dec-04, to lugnet.color)
