  Re: LEGO parts -- genuine?
 
Whilst on the subject of Lego / not Lego, I have a question. I have recently bought at a boot fair a bag of Lego, most appearing to be the same era as the stuff I have from childhood, c 1970's. A fair bit of the Lego is obviously different though. (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: LEGO parts -- genuine?
 
Liz, I've cross-posted this to the clone brands subgroup of Lugnet, where you'll get people much more knowledgable of the similarities & differences between Lego and other manufacturers. There are no stupid questions, although finding the answers (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: LEGO parts -- genuine?
 
(...) LEGO has a slope like that: (URL) test if it is LEGO, may I suggest you try inserting an antenna or some sort of *minifig tool* in the open stud? If it is LEGO, the tool should fit the hole. For reference, this part was used in many sets, one (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) You're in luck--the heads are indeed of the LEGO peg-on-body style. Right now I have a Timmy on one of the burlier bodies. Dave! (22 years ago, 21-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Mega Bloks Dragon sets at Zainy Brainy soon
 
(...) Cool! Thanks for the heads-up. (...) Yeah, that sounds about right for Zainy Brainy. (...) I was wondering, if the new 'Dragons' knights have the peg on their body (like the old Mega Bloks spacemen, so we could interchange Lego heads) or if (...)

  Re: Mega Bloks finally updated their website (cool new stuff!)
 
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)

(...) You're both correct about the trans-yellow canopy. It's two pieces; the rear part actually connects to the surrounding bricks and provides the pivot on which the front part of the canopy hinges up. Very cool. It's reminiscent of the canopy (...)

(...) the left... 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 (...)
