 | | Nilo humongous baseplate, wrong size building tables
|
|
While at a local mom-and-pop toystore I noticed these giant baseplates made by Nilo called the 2-sided block mat. They have LEGO compatible studs on one side and Duplo compatible studs on the other, and they measured 101x38 (Lego) studs. They fit (...) (23 years ago, 1-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I have just recieved some wheels like these: (URL) white, but also some red. I don't think they're LEGO, but i don't know. They look very old, but in good condition.

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)
