(...) Too cool! Took a look at it, and I was intrigued. Really neat design, kind of reminds me of those science fiction ships from star trek and what not. Anyway, hope to see more like this. <<_Matt Hein_>> Fellow lego enthusiast (22 years ago, 14-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

But given the size of the Sirius relative to the fighters, that may not be possible. Love the (...) (22 years ago, 14-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Not only does this set make a great chess set, but the playability looks high as well. Can't wait to see it out here in the (...) (22 years ago, 14-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

There is a new Megabloks Dragons set! Including a new dragon. This set builds a chess set from the figures, horses, castle elements, etc. It includes six of the large base pieces, and a bunch of other stuff. One of the neatest things about it is (...)

(URL) anyone ever seen one of these? I own the larger Tyco calculator, but I've never come across this version. The tagline says "Lego like," so I assume it's not "real" Lego. Dave! (22 years ago, 9-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
