(...) <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)

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 (...)

(...) New (I think) 1x4 plates with female hinges. A picture is worth, well, you know: (URL) are two of these doors on each side. The hinge is fairly loose -- no clickiness, and not very stiff. Servicable, though. Note the profile of the door is (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) How are the cargo bay doors attached? And could you possibly post a scan of one of the door elements? Thanks for the info--none of my local TRU's have it yet. Did you get yours via Amazon or directly from a store? Dave! (22 years ago, 15-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

[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)

(...) 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)
