I bought the Prancing Pony set at TRU over the weekend for $34.00. It comes with 220 usable pieces that are good quality (I know almost 16 cents apiece). That's a lot for parts to use on other constructions, but if you want different colors and (...) (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I plan to pick up most of the product line, but I haven't seen any of it locally yet. Where in the TRU did you find them? The folks at my local shop don't know anything about them, although I anticipate that the sets might show up near the (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I found them in the construction brick area on the shelf above the Best-Lock sets. (23 years ago, 31-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I picked up the Prancing Pony set this weekend and was pleasantly surprised. While the design is very simple, and the piece:price ratio isn't great regardless of talking Blox, the number of 2x4 bricks is impressive. As I mentioned elsewhere, (...)

(...) Hey, at Target's 75% clearance today I managed to find a Prancing Pony Inn for $7.44 (also a Buckleberry Ferry for $3.74), so you guys may want to take a look if you get a chance (although I saw even fewer LOTR sets than I did LEGO-- these (...)

(...) You assume too much. Know thine enemy. LOL. (Just kidding. I've actually had one of these in my cart but haven't so far made it to the checkout with it) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I broke down and bought a few of those when they were 50% off, and I'm glad I did, because the stock has since been depleted. Nothing left but a pair of Buckleberry Ferry sets, which I'll try to grab tomorrow. I wish I could find another (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I like the bricks, but the large plates are lame-- poor binding quality. (e.g. the plates that form the base of the two part of the Ferry bind very poorly to the bricks that form the base). Interesting colors, too. I like the flecked (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) My 8-year-old begged to build the Ferry set and found the same thing-- the bricks don't hold onto the bottom of the 8x16 plates well at all! BTW that reminds me, a while back when everyone was wondering about the anchor clones, I noticed that (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Clone snob! :-) My 6-year-old was watching his 8-year-old brother build the Buckleberry Ferry dock with the bricks that kept falling off. After a while he turned to me and said, "Mom, it says ages 7 and up on the box, and I'm glad!" Maggie (22 years ago, 21-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
