  Re: Screwed on eBay Again (just the facts!)
 
(...) Naw, that's nothing to do with it really. As long as the words Tyco and Lego appear, you're golden. FWIW, I honestly think that the number of people truly interested in Tyco has dwindled radically. Given some of what TLC and MB are currently (...)

  Re: Screwed on eBay Again (just the facts!)
 
(...) It does appear as though the seller is trying to get out of letting you have a set that went cheap because he carelessly misspelled 'castle' in the listing. Of course, it is possible that his dogs could have picked this time to chew up a (...) (21 years ago, 12-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Screwed on eBay Again (just the facts!)
 
As much as I hate to say it, I'd just forget about it and move on. I understand its the whole principle of the idea, but in the final analysis, evilBay will do nothing about it. I'd go ahead and put a negative feedback in tho. (...) (21 years ago, 12-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

snip (...) Well it sounds like you are being quite fair to me. After all his story does sound a little fishy and I can't help but wonder if it was because the auction didn't go as high as he had hoped. -Mike Petrucelli (21 years ago, 12-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  New "stone" brick sizes in Dragons sets.
 
I picked up the Vorgan Attack set (10 US$) and in addition to the 3 orcs and big demon dragon mutant thing with hair on its back, (which is really cool and will add nicely to my demon army) there were four of the standard 2x4 "stone" bricks. What (...) (21 years ago, 12-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

  Re: Review of BTR Transformers Armada Jetfire
 
(...) The main reason for the expense is probably the central piece and the arms and legs that hang off of them. (...) Good point. I'd say there are five completely generic parts: a 2x4 plate, a 2x6 plate, a 2x12 plate, a 6x(8 to 12) trapazoidal (...) (21 years ago, 10-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  BTR Transformers Jetfire: Improved Transformation
 
Hi all. Well, I've been looking over JetFire, and I've come up with a fairly simple change to make it more of a Transformer. Note that this form isn't as stable as the given transformation is... but on the other hand, it isn't as stupid-looking (...) (21 years ago, 10-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

  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)

  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)

  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited

  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
