Heck, if LEGO put out any designs that I found interesting enough to borrow, I would (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Yes sadly the Dragons and Pyrates Mega Bloks lines are some of the worst quality they have done. Its not because of the juniorizedness of the sets either. For some reason the part quality is no where near as good as Mega Bloks' more brick (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) The Lego Exo-force sets (also some of the creator sets like the T-rex) use joints that are sort of quite obviously very similar/copied from the the Blok Bots sets which the Gundam sets appear to use. -Mike Petrucelli (18 years ago, 25-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

WOW! Very nice looking Gundam there. Given that MB and Lego bricks are 99% the same and compatible, it should be an easy feat to build Lego versions once the instructions become available.
