I've made a sample diorama I call "Turned to the (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jun-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Did you photograph only a small portion of a much larger set or what? I have been checking their website pretty frequently, but I haven't seen this stuff in detail yet.

(...) Can we establish for the record that the correct brand name is "Mega Bloks" rather than Megablocks or Megablox or Megablocs? I've often used the single word "MegaBloks" since I've seen it that way in official literature. I mean, how would (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

The Dragon is way cooler looking that the Lego version. (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

The dragon looks really cool in an action figure sort of way, but is it actually the case that it doesn't attach to the bricks or plates in any way? I have really enjoyed many of (...)
