  "Brick" brand knock-offs
 
Hi all, Someone pointed this out on rec.toys.lego: (URL) on "view sellers other auctions" and see about 15 of these. These look like a complete knock-off, not a clone brand. Bruce (22 years ago, 20-May-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Ever seen this brick?
 
(...) THank you sir! I have since found out myself, that these are in fact Tyco 45s. I know they yellow, (obviously) but would like to find out if they are available in red. Would you be willing to part with the ones you have? The great Tyco earch (...) (22 years ago, 19-May-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Ever seen this brick?
 
(...) Sorry I couldn't comment earlier--I didn't even see this thread until I spotted the image on Brickshelf while browsing your fantastic fire engine models. To answer your question, Frank is indeed correct--it's TYCO. I have about 25 of these (...) (22 years ago, 18-May-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Yes indeed! The launcher has three buttons; the left and right fire the respective missiles, but the center button triggers all three. So my rendering is technically inaccurate, but it gives a sense of how it works. I also cheated on the (...) (22 years ago, 13-May-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Yes, I saw that one too, but at that time I hadn't the time to persuade the seller to ship internationally. So congrats! /Tore (...) (22 years ago, 2-May-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Those Mega Blok sets are now 50% off
 
Hi again, The MegaBlok sets that I posted were on clearance at Target a week or two ago are now down to $9.90 (at one Target, still $13.90 at another). I saw one copy of Knight and Wolf (?) at each store. OT, but I also noticed a couple of those (...) (22 years ago, 1-May-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Alas, it's simply the 9519 main model straight from the instructions. I made a small mistake and inverted the colors on the foot pieces--oops! I had to cheat and modify the colors in POV-Ray, but it looks like LDraw 495 works fairly well. The (...) (22 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
