(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 (...)

Aha! Shifty!

Oh well -- so much for (...) (22 years ago, 20-Mar-03, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
