I was just wondering the other day if this group was created. I've been having computer problems and life obligations to deal with in the past few weeks and haven't been following lugnet much at all.

On UPN's Kid's Spot, they show/ed (I am not sure if it is still on) a small Lego dune-buggy that I own driving down a shelf. Small, comes with a radio and a beach guard. From at least 4 years ago. Strange that they use it in their commercials... (24 years ago, 18-Mar-01, to lugnet.mediawatch)

(...) I saw the episode and especially liked how the workers were unassembling the park at the end of the day. The blocko tram with square block wheels that made for a very bumpy ride was ingenious too. Overall, very funny - Craig Livingston (24 years ago, 6-Mar-01, to lugnet.mediawatch)

Did anybody see the episode of the Simpsons the other night where they went to "blocko land"? Clearly a parody of Legoland. And then on the way home Bart complains, "Why did I buy this Lego shirt? I mean BLOCKO shirt..." (24 years ago, 6-Mar-01, to lugnet.mediawatch)
