(...) Q2 conference call, 8/2/02. Search for documents on SEDAR ((URL) as they are a Toronto Stock Exchange company. Look for the 8/1/02 press release. It has the phone number to call. You might still be able to listen to the call replay. Since the (...) (22 years ago, 7-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I don't see how this can be true... Everyone knows construction brick toys are a dying breed. You can't sell girls construction bricks and regular bricks just do not sell.

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 (...)

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)

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)
