| | WTB: Yellow Duplo Eggs and the Lego and Clone Stuff
|
|
Hey Y'all: The main thing I want right now are 3 of those yellow Duplo eggs of about two years ago. I am particularly concerned about the clarity and scratch free condition of the eggs, so if you have SUPER MINT ones to sell me I will go as high as (...)

(...) I bought the 2 medium sets (9981 "Battle Gate" and 9886 "Sorcerer's Lair") and the smaller one (9871 "Dragon Slayer") at a TRU here in Edmonton, on Monday. Used a pair of $5.00 off coupons on the medium ones. I didn't see the big set, but (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Hi, I saw the Megabloks DRAGONS sets at TRU here in Canada this morning. Although, I am basically a LEGO train and town fan, my boys are Castle fans. I think Megabloks has a keeper here. The minifig figures look great and the pieces are very (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

The Mega Bloks Warrior's Fortress is at Walmart for $36.88 if anyone is interested in getting it for a lot less than it's suggested price of around $49. Paul (22 years ago, 29-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I agree with Aaron. These will draw a lot of my Lego money away. I bought a couple of the Battle Chests (9861 Bronze Knights & 9862 Silver Knights) and a 9871 Dragon Slayer this week. The dragons are a little awkward, but the rest of the stuff (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I got a couple of the random Battle Chests so I could see if I like this stuff or if I can work around it with my LEGO. The shields and weapons work fine. The heads, legs and torsos of the warriors work well with LEGO. The bricks are interesting, (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Simon, What you have is Lego made from Cellulose Acetate (or CA). That is a kind of plastic that Lego used until 1963. After that, they switched to ABS still in use today. The descriptions you use are classic CA. The color is lighter. It warps (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Do you have a possibility to take a snapshot of the parts? I would be inclined to think they may be parts from the 50's, not in ABS but in acetate. The molds were different then, and the logo was slightly different too. I cannot be sure of (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

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)
