(...) season. If it wasn't this same product, it was awfully close -- side-interlocking, translucently-colored building blocks. There were 2 or 3 "model" sets. I think they were: a building, a table lamp, and a phone. I don't recall them having any (...) (21 years ago, 20-Nov-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) And to be fair, my experience with Mega Bloks consists of picking them out of yard-sale lots of LEGO, so I've really only dealt with MB pieces that are relatively old and worn. I must admit that more than one recent MB set design has caught my (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I have to agree. I'm holding a chunk of dark gray blocks from a recent MB set and they all stick together very well, the colors of the various parts match and the bricks themselves line up nicely so that surfaces that are supposed to be smooth (...)

(...) Well that was the case 4 or 5 years ago. As of 2 to 3 years ago Mega Bloks is much improved. Only the occasional 1x1 part suffers this problem now but there are usually 10 to 20 extras so you can get one that makes the model work. I am very (...)

Hi gang! Don't know if this is really considered a "clone" product, though it uses a similar stud and tube style connection, but it does not appear to be Lego compatible. It is a cross between Lite Brite and Lego.... PixelBlocks. (URL) get some (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
