  Re: Are Brix Blox LEGO-compatible?
 
Yes, I bought many of these sets back between 1978 and say the mid-1980s, but no longer build with them. They are stored out in the garage as sorted elements. Perhaps a 100 pounds of them. They 'fit' on top on Lego excatly, but do not 'snap' (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Tyco problems and structures that Rock!
 
I seem to have found a solution. Half way up I put one solid layer of Lego bricks. That seems to counteract the curl. Alan (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: new Mega Bloks
 
(...) Do you know if these sets come in a plastic suitcase-like carrying case? Last year, KMart had a SWAT and a Military set much like what you're describing, selling for between $20 and $25. Did the SWAT set have a bomb-disposal robot vehicle? (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  new Mega Bloks
 
I work at Wal*Mart & I saw a new flier which showed a S.W.A.T. team set & an army set. Each set appeared to have 4-5 figs, a small car-like vehicle, a helicopter & a large tank-like vehicle. I believe it will be available the week of Nov. 23. Jeff (22 years ago, 22-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Part name suggestion?
 
(...) I think they're just miscellaneous doodads. The Oxford parts are used on the top surface of the Tank (Set 15000) and look like some kind of winch or something. I thought I had scanned a picture of tank, but now I see that I didn't. One of the (...) (22 years ago, 22-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Part name suggestion?
 
(...) Very nice parts. But what are they? I don't know, never seen them before. Are they some generic technical looking gadgets or where are they used? /Tore (22 years ago, 22-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Part name suggestion?
 
I need help naming these two elements: (URL) is an Oxford element and "B" is a Tyco element. Any ideas are much appreciated! Dave! (22 years ago, 22-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  New Mega Bloks
 
I stopped by Kohls last night for the 50% off Mega Bloks sale and found a new ProBuilder set. #9724 Bradley M2A3 with 260 pieces for $9.99 (I got it for 5). It is the same color as the new tank, but the camo is a sticker for this one. I havn't built (...) (22 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: A few preview images
 
(...) Oh, one other thing... It's been suggested that the stud.dat primitive, if used on clone parts, would show up with the LEGO logo when rendered at QUAL 3. Here's my solution: (URL) Dave! (22 years ago, 18-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  A few preview images
 
By experimenting with inlined POV-Ray code I've managed to improve a few parts from their earlier clone.dat incarnations. There's still room for improvement, but the journey continues. I've also been playing around with the newly discovered color (...) (22 years ago, 17-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
