  Re: New MegaBloks a-comin!
 
(...) Hmmm, I like the marbling... I guess I should have realized I had hundreds of 2x2 bricks in Dino and Galaxy colors, it's just that many of the newer sets use numerous 1x2 bricks instead of ANY 2x2 bricks. I never thought of it as element (...) (22 years ago, 1-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I (...) numbered (...) That would rock. Thanks for the list too. (...) Dimensions are large the the size in terms of load time is very small. No problem. (...) Cool. (...) -Mike Petrucelli (22 years ago, 1-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: New MegaBloks a-comin!
 
(...) Their 2x2 brick seems less common in ProBuilder models than in earlier MB series. The old dinosaur sets were lousy with them; I have the sense that the designers sometimes chose two 2x2 bricks rather than one 2x4 brick for the sole purpose of (...)

  Re: New MegaBloks a-comin!
 
(...) One of the cool new features of MB instructions is the illustrated and numbered piece inventory. I'll try to scan and post the image tomorrow morning. For now, here's an abridged piece breakdown. 2 black 1x2 tiles 2 clear 1x2 tiles 6 (...) (22 years ago, 1-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Mega Bloks does make 2x2 bricks. They do have way too many holes in their slope selection though. -Mike Petrucelli (22 years ago, 1-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: New MegaBloks a-comin!
 
(...) Whoa! You have my attention now! If it is not too much trouble could you more clearly define 'Lots of 6x8 plates' and perhaps say what color(s) they are. I was not really interested in this set, but if it has enough good pieces... (...) That (...) (22 years ago, 1-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: New MegaBloks a-comin!
 
(...) Why worry about it? Just buy the MB and they can continue to improve their product with the increased revenues. I am not really that keen on any manufacturer's "model team" type models, but MB DOES make some wonderfully unique elements. And at (...) (22 years ago, 1-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Jeeezzzzz..... (I know this has been voiced many, many times but...) If only Lego would produce sets with this piece count/price/size/playability value, they would sell a gazillion of them. Ron (22 years ago, 30-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(URL) to Christopher Dean for the heads-up) (URL) own this one--it's quite cool. A few items of note-- 1120 parts Lots of 6 x 8 plates (a first for MB, I believe) Quite a few 1 x 2 tiles (in silver-grey and clear) (also a first) 6x 2 x 2 brick (...)

  Coko Bricks Review
 
Set: #51518 Patriot Missile (Military) 750 pcs, 319 SEK (~US$ 32.00) @ Biltema, Sweden. Mechanic compability: Very good, except the stupid measurements of the hollow studs (Type 2). The radius of the hole is only 3 LDU instead of 4! Plates are 1/3 (...) (22 years ago, 28-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
