Today I understand why Fortress TRU has a security battallion: Holiday shopper crowds in Times Square. Fortress TRU is the new flagship store in New York.

Dave! Thanks for the excellent review--I've been seeking these things out. The packaging and layout look really very good, better than MB has put out to date--though I wonder if they still have that odd feel to them. It is, however, the guaranteed (...)

(...) I just picked up the U240 set because it has the cool newish 10 x 2 x 8 windshield in trans-orange, as well as a bunch of other trans-orange elements. It also has a better piece count of 412 versus 300-something for the J-227. The cones are (...) (23 years ago, 5-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Pink and purple Megabloks were seen coupling with faded old blue Lego bricks on my mousepad today. Additional, muted, colors were joining in from both sides.

Dave! Let me get this straight -- you saw but did not purchase the J-227 Quadwalker? C'mon Dave!, the thing looks like it's practically covered in trans-antifreeze 2x2 tiles, and are those some kind of new cones there being used as rockets? I have (...)

I never thought I'd say this, but: I've gotta get me some Megabloks! Those are sweet, and exactly what LEGO should be doing. Let's hope these things sell like hotcakes and wake 'em up to how lucrative the mecha market is. Makes me wonder why they (...) (23 years ago, 3-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
