        Re: Tyco Superblocks page (Re: What ever happened to the copycat brand TYCO?) —Joseph Gonzalez
   (...) yup i've been liquidating almost all of my lego and lego-related stuff over the past couple of years. all that's left is a few lego, mega-blok (oddly enough, the mega-blok stuff is increasing in quantity lately) and a couple of kawada sets.

     In lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, Joseph Gonzalez writes: couple of years. (...) Boy, that Kawada stuff is awful. I bought a few small kits on eBay and was surprised at how unsatisfying they were. I could probably be called clone-friendly, and I (...)

      james! dude! i had linked to your page while it was at avana-something, couldn't find the old page and wasn't aware you had moved your site. i'm glad you posted (i had borrowed your blocko image for the construction clones page but couldn't find (...)

       (...) While we are on the subject, has anyone ever seen a set called "Daluland?" They were selling one on ebay not too long ago, and the blurry picture looked very similar to the King's Castle. If anyone has a scan of that/ever heard of those, I (...)

          dalu and shifty (Re: Tyco Superblocks page) —Joseph Gonzalez
      (...) i got permission from someone auctioning the dalu set to copy the images. here's what i got: (URL) the only info i gleaned but i seem to remember discussion centering on the possibility that the company was from somewhere in the middle east.

          Re: dalu and shifty (Re: Tyco Superblocks page) —Aaron Dalan
       (...) Thanks, Joseph. You have now relieved me of any desire to ever acquire any Dalu sets. The color scheme on the packaging and the identical shield crests were especially egregious. (...) Shifty should have picked better sets to copy! The Royal (...) (23 years ago, 7-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
    
         kawada blocks (Re: Tyco Superblocks page) —Joseph Gonzalez
     kawada IS pretty poopy but i really enjoy the 10-inch godzilla models for displaying purposes and would probably still be willing to pay a ridiculous price if i were to see someone selling the gamera model (to go with the godzilla and ghidorah (...)

         Re: kawada blocks (Re: Tyco Superblocks page) —Joseph Gonzalez
     shame on me for responding to my own post, but i found where i had put some images for the godzilla stuff: (URL) ghidorah is actually the cooler of the two sets (godzilla looks more like an alley cat on steroids) but i found it interesting the way (...)
