 | | Apocryphal tribute
|
| Hi all: I didn't know Travis Kunce well, but we exchanged posting once or twice, and I share the view of pretty much everyone on LUGNET that he was a good guy who will be missed. In the spirit of the Hovercar tribute contest, I thought I'd submit (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jan-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Any finds at Target?
|
| (...) In the Bay Area, I've been to 4 Target store, and gotten some good deals, and passed up some OK ones. Hellfire droids are down to $34.22, only found 1 AT-TE and bought it. Lots of pod racers minis at $2.68 One store had a few hockey sets on (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jan-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

| (...) LOL! Glad to provide some entertainment. I actually tried to post this link about a month ago when I first saw the sets, but Lugnet emitted some strange error on me when I posted, and I let it slide until I saw your message. (...) No problem - (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jan-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
| | | | | While I'm at it, here's a nice feature on the MEGABLOKS site
|
| On the (URL) MEGABLOKS> website, PDF-format instructions are now available for download (URL). Nifty, and handy! Dave! (21 years ago, 30-Dec-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

| (...) Hi Kevin: Thanks a ton for this link. I'll spend a chunk of my afternoon browsing through the pictures, almost all of which are completely new to me! Would you mind revealing how long ago you ordered or what the shipping costs were? The actual (...) (21 years ago, 30-Dec-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
| | | | | Re: New MEGABLOKS items
|
| (...) FYI Hobby Link Japan (www.hlj.com) has them for sale. I have a set ordered, but they haven't arrived yet. MB has an Ultraman license in Japan as well (I ordered a couple of those, too), and their Power Ranger sets are onto the next theme over (...)

| (URL) Here,> (URL) here,> (URL) and here.> Not my auctions, I don't know the seller, and I won't be bidding. Thoughts? I find the whole Thunderbirds vibe to be extremely creepy in some way, not unlike a ventriloquist's dummy. I note with interest (...) (21 years ago, 29-Dec-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

|
| Even weirder is that X-Blocks has Marvel's license for Spiderman, and the Spiderman X-Blocks hit the shelves at TRU just when Lego's did. Marvel has been entertaining deals like this with Lego or others for years -- I met two Marvel employees in the (...) (21 years ago, 18-Dec-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

|
| I just spotted a new (to me) brand of clone brick at TRU called X-Blocks. I’ve never heard of it before, but this particular set is a licensing of the movie The Hulk, and it’s apparently called the Hulk Destructor Construction System. The set is (...)

|
| (...) Hi Richard! There's been some mention of this product line here in OT-Clones, such as here: (URL) spotted the sets at TRU, and you're right that the heads *do* have quite a bit of character. I haven't bought any yet, but the figures seem to (...) (21 years ago, 17-Dec-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
