  Re: MegaBloks site updated
 
(...) that (...) Doh' (...) See, the Blok-Bots drive my crazy. They almost always include a really cool looking mini-fig but then there is no way to get more without getting a lot of unwanted Blok-Bots. I wish they would make more sets like the (...)

  Re: MegaBloks site updated
 
(...) I've been mulling this over with another clone fan, and we've decided that we can't decide if they're cool or not, until we actually see the sets. I'd hope the recent glowing success of the Galidor line would demonstrate that the (...) (22 years ago, 7-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: MegaBloks site updated
 
(...) looking. (...) Cool! Thanks for the heads up. I am very curious to see if we will be able to make Space armies of cyborgs like the Dragons line allows for Castle. Now that would be cool. So far it just looks like a Blok Bot tie-in gimmic (...) (22 years ago, 7-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  MegaBloks site updated
 
(URL) forthcoming Cyborgs v. Mutroids line is featured on the frontpage. That's the only new info I see on the site at the moment, but I'll keep looking. Dave! (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Promo MegaBloks
 
(...) I stumbled upon the site months ago after doing a search for "Ritvik" on Google. I didn't think of it until I spotted the current auction on ebay. I can't seem to get on the GI Interactive site now, but I believe that somewhere on it they (...) (22 years ago, 5-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Promo MegaBloks
 
(...) That actually looks kind of cool. How do you know they are Megabloks though? -Mike Petrucelli (22 years ago, 5-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Promo MegaBloks
 
Found this site sort of by accident. The product doesn't seem cost-effective for the average consumer, but it's a cool idea nonetheless... (URL) fact, I would gues that the item in this auction (URL) have been produced by the same company. Come to (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Dave, What stores have these? Paul (...) (22 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  MegaBloks Set Number?
 
Does anyone know the set number for the now-discontinued 1500-part bucket from MegaBloks? Dave! (22 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: MB lime green dirt bike
 
(...) Mine had it on sale (or Rollback, or whatever) for $7.88. It's not a terrible set, with 200 pieces, but it's not great. The main body of the bike, as well as the front fork and whatever the back "fork" is called are each one-piece elements, (...) (22 years ago, 27-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Wal*Mart truck clone!
 
(...) The Wal*Mart near the north of Pittsburgh had four in the clearance aisle, but they were still ringing up @ $14.88. When I bought my copy a few weeks ago, I think they had about a dozen. Dave! (22 years ago, 27-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  MB lime green dirt bike
 
At the Keene, NH Wal*Mart, I saw a new MB set-a lime green dirt bike in with the other $10 (US) sets; the go-kart & the yellow & blue high-speed bike. Jeff (22 years ago, 27-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Wal*Mart truck clone!
 
(...) Hey, I went back to the Keene, NH Wal*Mart on Tue., Feb. 25, & they still had about 10? sets left. Jeff (22 years ago, 27-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  New Dragons sets, sort of...
 
Recently I spotted two new small Dragons tins on the shelves, each apparently including a figure and a siege weapon, either a catapult or a ballista respectively as shown on the label. Also included are some of the rough-hewn 2x4 bricks and possibly (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Wal*Mart truck clone!
 
(...) (URL) side mirrors are basically exact duplicates of part 2540: (URL) the red steering wheel, visible through the windshield, is nearly identical to part 3829: (URL) both of these elements were re-written from scratch for the clone library. I (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Canopies (was Re: Apocryphal Classic Space)
 
When I see the Mustang in the shops I'll be very keen to see how it would work for minifigs. I'm actually quite a fan of the canopy in the earlier Harrier style jet - it works a treat for minifigs. Barely MOC based closely on the MB model: (URL) MOC (...) (22 years ago, 15-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) is possibly available in two forms -- one with the canopies described by Dave! and another with a very different, yet extremely cool, two piece canopy that is more curved. The latter canopy is as is seen here, this time in trans-black: (URL) (...) (22 years ago, 13-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Classic Space
 
(...) Thank you very much! My first "dark age" occurred back in the 70's between the ages of 5 and 8. My reintroduction came with set 924/987, so Classic Space has naturally always been a favorite theme. (...) Again, thank you! But the punchline is (...)
