| | Reptillian Space Fighter
|
| This started as a real-life build with my son that then got embellished in LDD and rendered with bluerender.  (URL) The design is a departure from my typical "Neo-Classic-Space" builds. Its form felt much more "organic" and the (...) (5 years ago, 6-Jul-19, to lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !

| | Re: reorgs
|

Anyway, I did a time lapse of the setup, and you can see the initial set up of the platform (...) (6 years ago, 31-Jan-19, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

|
| Farlie & All, (...) Well, there have been a few incidents, I remember Shifty bricks, which was ablatant ripoff, that came from China. I think some of the Chinese firms are doing massive amounts of that, inluding Lego items. They had King Leo on a (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)

There may be another variable at play in those northern European cases; as far as I'm aware, LEGO maintains a de facto stranglehold on many of the markets there, so competitor brands are denied entry altogether. It seems that LEGO has secured (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jan-07, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

I ask because I believe that the patent on the minifig design has expired, and previous arguments by LEGO re: the "trademark" status of their pieces have failed. The majority of rulings (...)

I seem to recall that Mike Rayhawk was prevented from selling his BrikWars artwork for that reason (although I don't think he ever (...)
