Hey Y'all: This has already been partially discussed in this thread: (URL) seems to now be designing elements and whole sets around lessons learned from Ritvik/Mega Bloks -- and in some respects I think they are not learning the lessons very well, (...)

(...) They'd definitely be worth buying at that price--the brick quality is quite good, and the SPUD-ish pieces are pretty cool in their own right. Admittedly, the pre-formed rock pieces aren't very versatile, but the gargoyle and beige statue (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) The special pieces in Weathertop were what I like the most. $5.20 would be a very attractive price for some unique architectural elements. Really each set has its good points (note: the bricks are worse than the plates). As some of us fans (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) As of this afternoon the LOTR sets appeared to be 50% off. The above sets were $7.40. Prancing Pony Inn was $14.90 IIRC (no guarantee-- in another post I gave wrong prices-- sorry). If the small sets last to $4.94 I will give them a try. (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) unfamiliar with the MegaBloks set in question, I'll post a pic of it tonight. The similarities are extensive and undeniable (though admittedly there's a certain "look" demanded by the theme). It amuses me greatly that LEGO is now effectively (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Speaking of LEGO cars...am I the only person out there who is actually willing to buy an InMotion ((URL) if it were to ever come out? Or even some of it's (...)

(...) I'll give you "kinda". But as an owner of a Wrangler, I can tell you that I'd: 1. Never buy another Best-Lock set again (quality simply not up to snuff) <sorry for the non sequitor> 2. Rather build my own out of LEGO (LLC had some cool (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I've only ever seen a couple of clone toys that I really want (the Godzilla sets, specifically...anyone know where to get 'em?)...but if you are a fan or owner of the Jeep Wrangler, this is a pretty cool toy: (URL) of POOPs, but it makes for lots of (...)

(...) They have (or had) them at Target, for 30% off as of this morning. If you are able to find any they will probably be near the Megabloks and K'nex. Mine only had a couple of Buckleberry ferries (for $13.90) left today. BTW the person who told (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.market.shopping)
