(...) Thanks for the link! Am I seeing these correctly? They appear to be Duplo-sized, which I guess would allow larger printing but is kind of a bummer for building in minifig scale. Any guesses on the brick-source? Judging from the stud height, (...) (21 years ago, 29-Sep-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

Found this clone while googling for real-life bricks. (I've graduated from Toys R Us to Home Depot.) These guys write your message in parts (up to 11 bricks) and package it as a promo item. (URL) is one of a staggering array of things they will (...) (21 years ago, 28-Sep-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Found the Fire Mountain set at Target today. On sale for 14.99. They also had Sea Dragon for the same price. George (21 years ago, 26-Sep-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

One thing that's been plaguing me re: clone renderings is the lack of LDraw-rendered MEGABLOKS faces. For a while I'd resigned myself to using blank yellow heads on the MB figures, and more recently I'd begun including inlined POV-Ray code that (...)

(...) Could it be a fake of some kind? The word mobil is written exactly like mobil in Playmobil in their early logo. WARNING! Playmobil-link: (URL) company behind Playmobil actually did produce plastic toys before they made their first figure sets (...) (21 years ago, 19-Sep-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I'd say it's a clone, either Tyco or Choko, can't quite make out the logo from here: (URL) not an official LEGO model AFAIK and the instructions don't make sence if it's a promotion item?

(...) Vorgan tins now available at Target (Orlando, FL at least). I picked up 4 yesterday. I was also able to find the Daigar (sp?) Castle at a local Walmart for about $77 this weekend. Wish I had room at the house to set all of these up at the same (...) (21 years ago, 18-Sep-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Thanks for clearing that up, Dave! If that amount was in Mexican Pesos I might actually have to go get a copy of it. It certainly has a lot of pieces and it looks good on the box too. I do really like building things out of lots of relatively (...) (21 years ago, 18-Sep-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Of course it's a typo. The actual price is $934.99. Sorry for any confusion. Dave! (21 years ago, 18-Sep-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
