(URL) I've never seen it in person, but some of the sets look cool. At a glance I'd say they look to be compatible, and some of the elements appear to be from the same (or similar) molds that the now-apparently-defunct brand Block-Men used. If I'm (...)

(...) I found the set #'s to two of the Mega-Blok buckets: 974 and 976. I couldn't get to the other ones because they had been put away. These are the same buckets I've seen in Wal-Mart for $10. I underestimated when I said we had 300 buckets. We (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

| | New Dragons Set: Fire Mountain
|

Don't have a lot of details, but I saw it at Kohl's for $25.99 (which means that MSRP is probably $20.00). 80 pieces (not great) including modular terrain forms similar to what we've seen in other Dragons sets, but in this kit they're dark gray to (...)

(...) I purchased mine at a market stall. Most of the boxes weren't sealed, so I checked all the pirate sets (and one or two others) to see which torso designs were included.

Aha! Shifty! The only Shifty I've found is of the black-and-gold sort -- found those a few years ago, and since the box showed them as regular red and white, I bought about 15 sets (little two-fig ones at a dollar store). Oh well -- so much for (...) (22 years ago, 20-Mar-03, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Ahoy! I've recently experimented with creating shakos out of sculpey. I am not entirely displeased with the results, and I have a few ideas on how they could be better produced. What better way to showcase dodgy shakos, than to put them on Shifty (...) (22 years ago, 20-Mar-03, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Not much to sing about, but worth mentioning.

The Xtreme sports set has four (...) (22 years ago, 10-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
