  Also new Probuilder at Wal-mart (Re: New MB Dragons, MB Power Rangers, and Hasbro BTR at Target)
 
The new Probuilder Harley Davidson is at Wal-mart. They also had a new set that makes 10 vehicles (I assume not a the same time but could be mistaken) with mostly blue parts. They were up on the top shelf so I could barely see it let alone get the (...) (21 years ago, 7-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

  New MB Dragons, MB Power Rangers, and Hasbro BTR at Target
 
My local target has finally restocked its MEGA BLOKS section, including the following: From the Dragons line: (URL) the Power Rangers line: (URL) was in a hurry so I don't have much detail about price, piece counts, or general coolness, but I (...)

  Re: TMNT MEGA BLOKS
 
(...) Thanks to the tipster for pointing it out and thanks to you for posting it Dave! (...) I agree that is awesome. The weapons in particular look very useful, and the turtles are just plain cool looking. -Mike Petrucelli (21 years ago, 4-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  TMNT MEGA BLOKS
 
I received this link from a tipster who prefers to remain anonymous: (URL) cool, IMO. Dave! (21 years ago, 4-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) Thanks! Your initial suggestion was right on the money--I like the way the finished product looks with the interrupted/irregular top surface. More interesting to the eye. (...) You're witnessing my very first babysteps into animation, thanks (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) Yeah, I really like this MOC. The details helped, I think. I hadn't noticed the cones on the back of the legs previously, and that's a nice detail. How are you generating your flash file, Dave! Multiple renders out of POV, manipulated in Flash (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Still working the bugs out, and I'm afraid that this page won't load any more quickly: (URL) page simply presents three views of a slightly modified b-tron03.

  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) I got half of them this morning, the other half did not display. I have past experience with freewebs when the same problem came up. Presenting the images via HTML seemed to eliminate the trouble. None of the links from the original post are (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) Strangely, #3 was something of a rough draft to play with a different leg articulation and toe design, though I'm pleased with its overall appearance. I like #5 in general, but those Blok-Bots faceplates are a pain to render, so I went with (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
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. Are you missing a CAD version of a certain trans-yellow (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) Oops! Let's try this again: (URL) may take a minute or two to load the six images. Dave! (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.space)

  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
Dave! I think you need to place these images within the context of some basic html because freewebs bombs direct links to images. <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>davesbitchinc...oc</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <IMG SRC="davesbitchinclonemoc.jpg" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=400 (...)

  Re: New cyborg Blok-bots at K B Toys.
 
(...) Not if you got multiple copies of the set. Narf. :-) -Mike Petrucelli (21 years ago, 28-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: New cyborg Blok-bots at K B Toys.
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: New cyborg Blok-bots at K B Toys.
 
(...) Cool. That would be very useful for making uh... "hot" places. (Like Princess Pheona's Castle from 'Shrek') -Mike Petrucelli (21 years ago, 28-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
