  Re: My K'Nex monstrosity made it into the paper!
 
(...) LOL Chris, from the article it sounds as though you specifically chose the home you moved into to accommodate your MOS (my own structure)! BTW couldn't you have gotten the reporter to mention the L word at least once? Surely you also have a (...)

(...) There's lots of pictures (and a movie) on my site at (URL) I don't know why the Register doesn't put their pictures on their site, maybe to get you to buy the paper? (23 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

  My K'Nex monstrosity made it into the paper!
 
The Napa Valley Register printed an article on the 18 foot tall K'Nex monstrosity that my cousins and I built in my living room. They even included a couple of color pictures on page 1D, plus a black and white one on the second page. Yes, the (...)

  A minor update
 
I've scanned the cover page of the (apparently) KMart-only military MegaBloks set: (URL) well as a few POV-Ray renderings from that same set: (URL) link to the scan doesn't work from the main page, but the direct link should bring it up. Also, since (...) (23 years ago, 11-Mar-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

  Re: Old LEGO Clone bricks made by Nintendo
 
(...) It doesn't surprise me that Nintendo, at one time, made toys such as this. Some of the pieces are very cool, I like the stacking cones, I wish Lego would do something like that, as they would make a great "point" at the end to a weapon or (...)

  Old LEGO Clone bricks made by Nintendo
 
I've been searching through a ton of Japanese Lego sites to add to a link list in the future. One of the stranger things I found (and I've found a lot of strange stuff) is a site with some pics of old LEGO clone bricks that appear to be made by (...)

  Re: HELP identify a 2x4 plate, 1/2 thickness (not 1/3)
 
(...) Clone? (do they have LEGO(r) on the studs?) Tyco(tm), IIRC, used 1/2 thick plates. But I'm hazy on clones (they're not Lego, after all...) so could be all wet. ++Lar (23 years ago, 24-Feb-02, to lugnet.db.brictionary, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Disney Lego Clones
 
Has anybody seen the 'building block' sets that are available at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea? I have a few of them and will post them at Brickshelf once I get pictures of them done. These sets are knockoffs, but what's neat about them is (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  New MegaBloks RC sets
 
My information is very limited, since I didn't have the money to buy either set, but I just saw a pair of RC "Battle Bloks" sets at a local Ames. Each set has 100 pieces for $29.99, including an RC controller, 6-wheeled motor brick, and a colorful (...) (23 years ago, 18-Feb-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Rokenbok 50% off at Zany Brainy
 
Starts tomorrow, February 13 and goes while supplies last (or Feb. 23rd, the end of their Presidents' Day sale?). Probably best to get there early (like tomorrow morning) if you are into R'bok. Maggie C. (23 years ago, 13-Feb-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Theyre not on the mega bloks site but in the past few weeks I have purchased three battletech-type mecha sets under the mega bloks label. All except for one are reverse joint mecha.
