But yeah, some great stuff is coming from MB: the "Dragons" sets look priced to move and to catch the LOTR craze, there seems to be some kind of answer to bionickles called "Gyro Fighters" based on a ball-joint mechanism for limb movement, there is some great chrome coming in sets like the "Dune Racer", I liked the "Interceptor" bot -- there's something very Kirbyesque about it, the "Jackal & Scorpion" looks VERY cool with great new claw elements and the amazing Anubis figure, YES!!! -- the "Pro Builder® Tactical Fighter" seems to come with a trans-yellow canopy just as Mike notes, and the "Transforming Blok Bots® Ultimate Assault" just looks too cool. Those "War Chest" are a great idea -- why, I guess they are minifigure packs! What a concept!

There's 9 gray 2x4 bricks in the chest and some rock pieces and a turret plus the warriors. All chests have the same parts I think, maybe different warriors (there are gold and silver chests). For $5 it is cool. If you just want to try the new (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Here is a link: (URL) on the "What's New" link. Then click on page 4 through 8. (the first 3 are preschool stuff) Aside from the cool new Dragons stuff, of noteworthy interest are: "Jackel and Scorpion" which is an Eygptian version of the "Kight and (...)
