(...) It wasn't intended to insult ANYONE. Terry, if you took it as insulting you, I'm not sure what to say except sorry. Richard, if you took it as insulting rather than just stating the truth about your "latch on to controversy and use it to cause (...) (21 years ago, 19-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: A serious clone question
 
(...) Uh... Mega Bloks soared in popularity (based on increased shelf space devoted to them) durring the period of crappy LEGO set design a few years ago. Mega Bloks filled the void of mostly brick based sets that LEGO had seemingly abandoned. (...) (...) (21 years ago, 19-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: A serious clone question
 
(...) If you really care about the answer, you should start out by asking Todd and Suzanne directly, as our opinions don't matter much until/unless they say it's okay. If they do, then it falls to whether they'll be accepted, flamed, or both. My gut (...) (21 years ago, 19-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

  Re: A serious clone question
 
(...) Legally they can't call them "LEGOfest", "LEGOsWest", or "LEGOshelf" because they'd be in clear violation of trademark law (and would undoubtedly get called out on it). LUGNET rides the line by using an acronym that involves the word "LEGO", (...) (21 years ago, 19-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
