(...) Dave, I got this set a couple of weeks ago at TRU in New York and just haven't had time for a post. Yes, the magnets work, and the dragon is kind of see thru. 5 of the knights are totaly clear, while 5 are silvery clear like the dragon. The (...)

Maybe not news to some people, but I spotted (URL) new Dragons set at my local TRU. It's a bit pricey at $19.99, but it includes a "Krystal," a two-headed Dragon, and 10 "Ghost Warriors." The Dragon is dull silver, but the warriors (in standard (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jan-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) I remember that brand, but I've never seen it in real life. I suppose it couldn't have done too well, judging by its disappearance! (...)

Taken from an old 1988 christmas catalog I dug from my parents' basement. The catalog is from a defunct canadian company (Distribution aux Consommateurs). Big, basic baby blocks. Interesting to note that Fisher Price had its own "Construx" line back (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jan-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I'd say the pictures of just figs are real, but the other two are rendered. It looks like the figs are full-size human figures in the same scale as the dwarven Lego minifigs. Or perhaps a bit bigger? The Batman city image (lower left) looks (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jan-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(URL) came out yesterday. From the pictures they look like a cross between Kubrick and Belville styled figs, at least joint wise. Looking at some of the (1) images with bricks and pieces, it would appear they're making them at least somewhat (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jan-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
