(...) The game can be downloaded for later use if you know what you're looking for in your browser's cache directory -- basically a .swf flash file. Kinda silly actually... -- Hop-Frog (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Definitely the same blocks - they reuse the Convio example. I was not even close to wanting to build with these. I wonder if any sign-printer knows how to get these done? Thanks (21 years ago, 3-Oct-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Cool--I'll have to watch for that. I happened upon an unexpected toy aisle in Sears in which several small MEGABLOKS sets were available in the $5.00 to $10.00 range. These are re-issues of older sets, this time under the label ModelMax Pro. (...) (21 years ago, 1-Oct-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

@ W*M in Claremont, NH, I saw a red indy car- slightly larger than minifig scale. It comes with a torso & head/helmet piece for the driver, & comes with a red race helmet keychain. it was in the same spot as the green & yellow dirt bikes & is about (...)

(...) 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)

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 (...)

(...) You're insane, Dave! I can't even think of a LEGO set that (while it's still in current production) is worth almost 400 USD. Not even the ISD. But you think a MB set is? That's crazy! (Ok, OK, I know, that was a typo) (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
