Thanks for the heads up.  Also security fencing, scientific dudes (all the
figs in the warriors style of 3d torso customisation, except with more
colour detail), and a tricky hangar thingie.

And the aliens - I might be missing my guess, but I think that the aliens
might be created in molds by the player, playdoh style.

I say this because:

There is a mold in evidence in the interior picture (bottom left) in a green
outer.  The inner looks like an exchangeable mold.

The drums seem to contain and be dressed with (3d, non paint/sticker)
coloured muck whose colurs match the alien figs.

The aliens lack the colour definition of the other figs, being a primary
colour, with legs and other bits apparently in different ways.


The hangar roof looks like a card, which is a pity - in plastic, it would be
one hell of a starship hull section ;-)  Mind you, if Lego can use printed
fabric roofing sections, I guess we're allowed to use painted card.  I had
never thought of this before.  Build the ship's skeletal structure with MB
(or even Lego ;-), and then clad large sections of it with (perhaps curved)
card, attractively printed using your trusty colour printer and some self
adhesive labels.  Too cool.  I might finally be able to build a decent
carrier!  I can think of half a dozen people who might be able to use this
technique to turn small collections, light on for plates, into starship
construction yards...

(...) Now that they are at Wal-Mart, it is indeed a mold for making aliens. (24 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Has anyone looked at the Mega Bloks web site today under Mega Bloks Kids? It showes a new line called Alien Agency... A Men in Black take off. It looks like it might be cool, and did I forget to mention monsters! Paul (24 years ago, 13-Dec-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
