(...) Let me rephrase that: I think that this website is about LEGO. I don't care for other brands. I've owned them, I din't like them. They are cheap, plastic is not as shiney, solid, colorful. Now, that is MY opinion. Let it be. I'm entitled to my (...) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I think it's very easy for those of you insisting on brand exclusionary practices to see yourselves as inoffensive, but you're not.

(...) That's kind of what I had in mind, but I wasn't sure if even that would be beyond the bounds of the MOC announcement group. My recent MOCs have been 100% clone, with arguable overlap among "common" elements, like 1x8 bricks and 2x2 tiles. If I (...) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Thanks for the scan. Weird. MEGA BLOKS doesn't usually seem to favor the cluster of tubes on the undersides of plates, as in the 6x8 or 8x8.
