In the Blok-Bots Jackal&Scorpion set, what color are the sockets for the ball joints? I'm referring to the small socket element that snaps into the 2 x 1.33 x 4 brick with ball-joint on the end. This same element in the Gyrofighters sets is (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

There's a Honda commercial for an SUV type thing called the "Element." The commercial begins with a pointed Megabloks endorsement, mainly noting that the bricks used to construct an apparently full-sized replica of the Honda vehicle are MB. I do not (...)

Since my fingers were sore from a whole lot of Lego-ing, I let a co-worker assemble my Megablocks Space Shuttle set - I did most of the piece-finding for him. His girlfriend helped on the payloads and wings, and is now interested enough in building (...) (21 years ago, 12-Oct-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

@ W*M in Claremont, NH, I saw a red indy car- slightly larger than minifig scale.

One thing that's been plaguing me re: clone renderings is the lack of LDraw-rendered MEGABLOKS faces.
