I bought a mixed lot of blocks at a yard sale today. About 70 or so were MegaBloks. My first encounter with them. Hope I never see any again. They just don't look as good as 'The Real Thing' :) Ray (...) (25 years ago, 4-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

For I have purchased a clone ... I was in the dark about how crappy clones were, since I've NEVER bought one before ... So, I saw they have Nascar MegaBloks ... I thought they were pretty cool ... they in fact are, but the bricks are of very low (...) (25 years ago, 3-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I was able to find just one of the Shifty block sets, in a Dollar store in the small town of Drumheller, AB. I looked in several other such stores in Calgary, but came up empty.

I just got back from my honeymoon trip to BC and Alberta. We made some good finds. Zellers had marked down some of the "Creature Seekers" sets, so we got what amounted to a 50% discount over the US prices on "Supersonic Mission" and "Scuba Quest". (...)

I found a small box of an old-looking squishy-block Lego-Clone in Goodwill. The bricks all have vertical serrations and the packaging looks as if it dates from the 60's or 70's! I'm guessing that it isn't actually that old, but I really don't know (...) (25 years ago, 28-Aug-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I remember mentioning seeing these sets on holiday in Toronto, and someone was interested in them, but I can't remember who! But as I knew that at least someone was interested in them, and I was back in town I decided to buy them and see if someone (...) (25 years ago, 28-Aug-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
