(...) 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 (...)

Of no interest to me, but some of you boat fans might like these: (URL) not the seller, nor do I know him, and I won't be bidding. Forgive the auction announcement in .boats! Ends 1/20 at 18:24 PST. Dave! FUT OT.Clones (24 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.boats)

(...) They're not legos, actually - they're just funny little action figures. They seem to have started out in Japan, and only recently have they been spreading to the US. I got one by mistake on Ebay once because the auctioneer was advertising them (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

They're like clones of Megabloks, only they're "Kubricks". I saw these inside the back cover of January's Previews (comics order book). The characters are quite clever; keep an eye out for them. (24 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

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)

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)
