TLC has an exotic type of plastic I've never seen outside of Lego® products. I have to look at the studs on the Tyco® I have before I know what it is. I can compare certain Mega Blocks to some AMT Model kits I have. I've never felt a Best-Lock, but (...) (22 years ago, 11-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) ***snip of tech review*** (...) To be fair, though--the Battle Bloks are not at all representative of MegaBloks overall trend re: juniorization. One need only compare piece counts of a $20 MegaBloks set vs. a $20 LEGO set; MegaBloks typically (...) (22 years ago, 11-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Hello, [rant warning] Well I finally found the new Dragons sets at my local target but the really interesting thing is the new Best-Lock fig packs. (I noticed Hop-Frog mentioned these already but said he did not get them yet.) Anyway I purchased 3 (...) (22 years ago, 11-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

| | Mega Bloks RC set 9616
|

I recently purchased this set for the sole purpose of examining its R/C technology - I have an ongoing interest in the area of Lego R/C as some on lugnet may know. The R/C system itself is clunky. A large box holding batteries, receiver and motors - (...) (22 years ago, 10-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I totally agree. I got just the one tin myself though. These Dragons are just not very "brick-like." I wanted to like them, but no -- blech! -- Hop-Frog (22 years ago, 10-Aug-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

The set also includes a pair of M-16 type rifles in silver. (...) (22 years ago, 8-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
