    Probuilder Toys R Us sets warning —Christopher J. Dean
   Hello everyone. I recently purchased the Mega Bloks Probuilders NYC Fire Engine. I highly recommend not purchasing the set, or at least ensuring you have all the pieces so that you are not disappointed like myself. I went to post a review of the set (...)

     (...) <snip> I bought three of these sets, two from one TRU, the other from a different one in the California Bay Area. They all went together great, no missing parts or anything close to that, in fact I had a bunch of extra parts. The sets were the (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

      Yeah, yeah. Always the same lame excuses. I'm bored to death to hear them. YOU ARE ADDICTED. Confess it and you will make the first step on the way of salvation! ;-) Cheers Ervino (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

      (...) That's what I told the ride attendant at Steel Force (located in Dorney Park, Allentown PA) as I climbed into the front row seats for my 5th straight ride on a wet and misty day with hardly anyone else in the park. She just laughed. She knew (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

       What is the name of the little wooden coaster there? I got to like it a lot, because the line was so short (unlike the big coasters and all the food lines.) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

       (...) They have a big woody built 1989 called Hercules, it has a good view of Steel Phantom. They also have a good woody called Thunderhawk which is in front of Steel Phantom. Very cute.

           Re: Dorney Park —Erik Olson
       Yeah I think it's Thunderhawk. On a decent weather evening lines are a problem, but I got a lot of rides on this one when the crowd was just enough to fill the cars up again. After a few, I bit my cheek on the first drop, then it wasn't so fun. (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
     
          Re: Probuilder Toys R Us sets warning —Mike Petrucelli
      Wow, Dorney Park is only about 40 minutes (in good traffic) from my house. Doesn't that mean we are within driving distance of one another? Or am I missing something and you don't actually live near there? (after all 85' 86' 87' is a little ways (...) (22 years ago, 18-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
