During the past weekend I discovered a cool and huge new MegaBloks Firetruck at a local TRU, containing about 1100 pieces for $50. At my lunch hour today I stopped by a different TRU with the intention of purchasing it, but I didn't see it on the (...) (22 years ago, 24-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.fun)

| | New MB Firetruck at TRU

I just spotted a new ProBuilder Firetruck on the shelf, listed as a "TRU Exclusive." It's $49.99 US and has about 1100 pieces. It's big! I don't have many details yet, but at a glance it includes new hinge panels, doors, windshield, and ladder (...) (22 years ago, 22-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

The M-16s remind me. Lego figs can hold Stikfas accessories. Each Stikfas action figure kit comes with about 10 guns. The scale is wrong, but the looks are not bad. Hasbro is marketing Stikfas in the US now. I bought one at Toy Tokyo NYC for $10. (...) (22 years ago, 22-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
