  Re: darn it, dave!!
 
(...) Believe me, I sympathize. I'm an absolute victim of new and cool-looking clone sets! (...) It's hard to find fault with The Kittyhawk. I was fortunate enough to pick up a total of 3 at a local ValueCity, where it was offered for $30.00! That's (...) (23 years ago, 23-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  darn it, dave!!
 
darn it, dave, your enthusiasm for the clones (along with the other folks' that frequent this newsgroup) is contagious and has caught me in a twisted trap! i've only purchased two or three lego sets this year but yesterday i went out and purchased (...)

  New Construction Toy In LDraw Format
 
Here are a few very unofficial elements I've thrown together and posted at the request of a few clone-fans. (URL) for the LEGO Purist, I warn you. I pondered whether or not it was appropriate to list the link in .dev, but Ryan Farrington recently (...) (23 years ago, 22-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  MegaBloks Boomer
 
Hey Rick (and all)-- For that interior detail, I saw something very interesting this weekend at TRU: A MegaBloks cut-away model of a 'boomer! I don't know if it would be worth a look, as it's nowhere near minifig scale, but I found it sort of (...)

  Re: Request for Dave Schuler's clones.zip File
 
(...) C'mon, Dave! Send me the files!!! I tried emailing the one guy to respond to the previous thread and I got a mailer-daemon in reply... Only you can help me, Dave! You don't want me to be a clone-less guy do you? Hook me up, Baby!!! -- Hop-Frog (...) (23 years ago, 20-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Request for Dave Schuler's clones.zip File
 
(...) I only know of one person for sure who downloaded the original set, but I don't think I have his email any longer. If someone still has the file, all are welcome to use it, but I should advise that there's a small update coming very shortly (...) (23 years ago, 20-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

  Re: Also new: MegaBloks Mustang
 
(...) Which may be the ultimate sign that MegaBloks is encroaching in LEGO's market position - the value of MegaBloks is going up. Steve (23 years ago, 19-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) in (...) I second that, thanks for the scan. That looks great. As a side note, looking at the piece count compared to other Pro-builder sets, it seems TRU upped the suggested retail price by $10 -Mike Petrucelli (23 years ago, 19-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: construction clones page management
 
thank you, richard (and chris gray and dave schuler who also responded). here's the picture. all of the coko and tente stuff were on my tripod site so that much is still available. the big load will be the tyco superbloks info (scans and zipped (...)

  Re: Also new: MegaBloks Mustang
 
(...) Here you go: (URL) scan isn't exactly razor-sharp, but it's still a cool model. My only objection is that there are two cover panels flanking the engine built mostly of 1xN bricks, but the panels aren't very secure when in place. I fixed it (...)

Any possiblity of scanning the box or instructions for a picture? I am really currious about this one. -Mike Petrucelli (23 years ago, 19-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: A few samples
 
Hello Dave,nice pics but can you post or send me the dat file of the red helicopter. Did you create the special non lego pieces like the cones and atenna yourself? Eric (23 years ago, 18-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: construction clones page management
 
I don't have a server of my own, but how much space are we talking here? Is it just the case that you don't want to bother finding another "free" home for the stuff yourself? If you can send over the files zipped up with the directory structures (...) (23 years ago, 17-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: A few samples
 
(...) So far all the pics are official models, built in LDraw and using Lars Hassing's excellent L3P dat-to-POV converter. That particular ship is MegaBloks set 9254, one of those small kits that came in a carboard canister. I like it because it's (...) (23 years ago, 17-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
