  Re: Pro Builder Space Shuttle at TRU (exclusive)
 
(...) Interesting, hadn't heard about those. There might be some of those in this kit, but the parts mentioned above are definitely half-height. Kevin (22 years ago, 13-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Pro Builder Space Shuttle at TRU (exclusive)
 
[snip] (...) [snip] Are you sure they are half height and not 2/3 height. I noticed that the new destroyer and fighter use 2/3 height plates which were half height in previous sets. This is a very good improvement in my opinion. [snip] (...) [snip] (...) (22 years ago, 13-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Pro Builder Space Shuttle at TRU (exclusive)
 
$80, 2005 pieces, mostly white and black. Has a "TRU exclusive" logo on the front. Random comments: Huge selection of white and black parts. 1 bag each color of 2x4 bricks. 1 bag of 1x8 white bricks. 1 bag of mostly white 2x4 plates. Another of (...)

  Re: Crosswise Blocks?
 
(...) Hey Russell and Dave, I bought a few Crosswise sets at Big Lots a couple of years ago, to see how well they would integrate with LEGO bricks. In short, they are totally incompatible with LEGO or clone brands (Crosswise can't even be called a (...) (22 years ago, 11-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Clones Mediawatch: Mega Bloks Transforming Blok Bots Commercial
 
And a few minutes later there was another commercial, this time for the Dragons line. -- Hop-Frog (22 years ago, 11-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Clones Mediawatch: Mega Bloks Transforming Blok Bots Commercial
 
Subject line pretty much says it all -- I was watching Toonami/DragonBall Z. I almost didn't notice what it was... ...if I were TLC, I'd be ******* my pants. -- Hop-Frog (22 years ago, 11-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Crosswise Blocks?
 
(...) first I was intrigued, but I didn't perceive them to have much LEGO compatibility. Has anyone had experience with them? Dave! (22 years ago, 10-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Crosswise Blocks?
 
Anyone know of a source for getting Crosswise blocks either in the US or online to the US? (URL) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Some Oxford pics
 
You can order direct from Singapore from the Stikfas web site (since March), and they have appeared on a bunch of online stores recently. Thanks to Envino for the comparison pics. (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Some Oxford pics
 
(...) Does anyone know of other venues where these weapons can be acquired? Dave! (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: One for Maggie & Julie: (Was: Stackers Review)
 
(...) I'm not really into cars or racing stuff, but as an expansion of the clone market I'd definitely be interested to see what they come up with. Speaking of Xmas clone bargains at Target, I noticed yesterday that the larger $19.99 Mecha sets are (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Some Oxford pics
 
(...) Well, having the weapons still on sprue, is possible to create some "clones" (of clones! :-) with lead, using that kind of material that is used to create moulds for lead soldiers and such. I dunno if it is possible to create duplicates in (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: One for Maggie & Julie: (Was: Stackers Review)
 
(...) Yes, I meant to follow up. I was very impressed with how compatible they are. The 6x12 piece is as thick as 2 plates. I was surprised to see them on clearance so soon, grabbed a bunch for Christmas presents. (It'll be a big year for clones for (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  One for Maggie & Julie: (Was: Stackers Review)
 
(...) (URL) the compatibility-minded clone fan, I am happy to report that these lil' boxes are 6 studs x 12 studs and are a nice six bricks tall. Contrast that with semi-compatible clones such as Best-Lock. Dave! (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Some Oxford pics
 
(...) Cool, thanks. Gotta get me some Oxford weapons... :-) Richard Still baldly going... (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Some Oxford pics
 
Hi all! I posted a photo comparison between Lego, BestLock, Oxford and Stikfas weapons. (I apologize for the poor focus of the image...) IMHO, the Stikfas ones are even better scaled to Lego originals than the Oxford ones (their real problem is (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Stackers Review (Was Re: Stackers)
 
(...) Hmmm, my pair from a 2-pack fell apart rather easily into six pieces each (four clear walls, top and bottom "brick"). In fact I couldn't get it to stay together easily or reliably. I pretty much categorized them as junk and have come close to (...) (22 years ago, 6-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Stackers Review (Was Re: Stackers)
 
(...) I'm a sucker for stuff like this, so when I saw some today at Target on clearance I grabbed a couple. (URL) came two in a package with an Ertl Racing Champ car for $1.74. The clear front door swings up to open, and it doesn't stay shut if you (...) (22 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) ...and you receive a $10 gift certificate for every $50 you spend. Gift cert good Oct 6-12. (My Kohls had 20% off Lego. I was pleasantly surprised since there was no sign indicating the sale.) Julie (22 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
