(...) 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)

(...) Gonna have to disagree with you whole heartedly on the quality of Mega Bloks. When the MB Dragons line first came out, I bought several sets, being a dragon fan. I put the sets together and they look good, even if they are built out of (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I mean, you don't see Mega Bloks fans complaining about Leggos. 8^) Second, the bricks aren't as low quality as you probably think, and many of Mega Bloks' designs (...)

(...) Sigh. That puts me in a very tough position. 1) I hate Megablocks, and refuse to buy their low quality bricks and poor designs. 2) I'm possibly the biggest Gundam fan here. What do I do now? :/ (18 years ago, 24-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

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. I look forward to that! Dave (18 years ago, 24-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
