(...) Nice. Kind of makes me wish Mega Bloks would do a space theme while TLC is on its Star Wars hiatus. You have illustrated that they could do it very well with thier part selection. :-) -Mike Petrucelli (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I particularly like 3 and 4, 5 seems a little unfinished somehow because of the semi-open cockpit space. I'd like to see the other side of 3 and I think 5 would be fairly easy to improve.

(...) The problem, at this point, is that I think we only have one plate in this style (though maybe the set comes with two--I can't remember). That would be a small castle and a really small volcano! Dave! (21 years ago, 28-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I think that's the case.

Well I didn't get any but the 4 new Mega Bloks cyborg Blok-bots are at K B toys. 14.99 USD each.
