(...) This is good news. I'll check my local TRU at lunch, but alas I'm not greatly optimistic; they only got the Marvel sets about three weeks ago. Still, there are other retail venues near me, so I'll look around. Thanks for the info. Dave! (21 years ago, 6-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Hey Dave!, Here in Charlotte, NC I saw 2 of the 3 small Pyrate sets at TRU today. These are the ones that come packaged in the pirate skulls.

(...) Jeez Louise, that's unexpected. Or maybe not, since the film is coming out. Any idea if the license includes the films (as in the case of the Marvel license) or applies only to the books? Wild stuff. Thanks for the news! Dave! (21 years ago, 3-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

It appears that MegaBloks has the license to produce sets based upon the movie version of the C.S. Lewis book, 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe' coming in December. (URL) No details yet.
