(...) You know, I too believe that everything happens for a reason, that everything is an element of God's plan. But, I cannot even by the furthest stretch of the imagination see how they came up with that. I guess when a person is filled with hate, (...)

(...) Oh, those. Yeah, they're not the best, but I'll say this: To me, LEGO BURPS look like nothing more than a deliberate effort to reduce the number of bricks in a set, whereas the Mega Bloks rock-elements at least resemble the rocks that they (...)

(...) I was thinking of the large blobby shaped "bases" that come with the small sets. Blech! At least a LEGO BURP has regular sides and edges that allow it to be built into something larger. (21 years ago, 3-Nov-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) What a touching and personal moment, and how sad. LEGO as a symbol of childhood (and, by extension, of innocence) becomes all the more poignant when discussed in context of war. Regardless of one's views on the war in Iraq, the loss of a (...) (21 years ago, 3-Nov-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

If by "cool" you mean dirty-looking, not useful for building, and generally ugly then yeah, they might be cool. :) OK, PoC would actually fit the Pyrates style better than if it had been done in LEGO but it still doesn't mean you can build (...)

Read about it (URL) Not a lot of detail yet, but if the existing (URL) sets are any indication, then the POTC sets will be very cool. Dave! (21 years ago, 2-Nov-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

Interesting calculations. I have come across similar in the model railway world. The question is, do you scale down time as well? Is a minifig second 1/45 of a full size second? After all smaller animals tend to have shorter lifespans, how long does (...) (21 years ago, 2-Nov-05, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
