(...) They've already got a license deal involving the Power Rangers--isn't that Saban? I don't know anything about the Gundam-style genre, so I don't know which company owns which properties. Anyway, I'm delighted to see that they plan to market (...) (21 years ago, 12-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Ugh. I have some of the former, and I am convinced that it is the harbinger of The End Times. Absolutely awful. Anyway, I naturally second your assertion re: improving MB quality. A recent frenzy of brick-sorting has revealed to me that my (...) (21 years ago, 12-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Thanks to the heads-up from Hop-Frog, I was fortunate enough to snag a copy of the Optic set during its brief appearance at my local KB Toys. The coolness of this set cannot be overstated; to date, it is hands-down the best mech design to come (...) (21 years ago, 12-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
