I certainly hope this was a mistake, although the chances of mega-blocks getting into the Lego UK magazine are slim on their own. (...)

They do not recognize the fact that Mega Bloks is a serious competitor. I would not be surprised if the Lego upper management does not (...)

| | | | | | | | (...) That's shocking. I'm speculating now, but I wonder how many pictures of kids with genuine LEGO COTS models actually get sent in to the magazine and get filtered out? I mean, would you think of sending in a picture of a known set? Probably not. (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.dear-lego)
