According to (URL) there’s an animated DVD slated for Fall 2004 based on the Dragons product line. I watched the trailer without sound (due to workplace constraints), and the CGI looked to be on par with most other stuff I’ve seen (which is (...)

FUT: lgunet.mediawatch One person could create an account like "lugnet" with a password of "lugnet" and then post that they had done so here.

(...) I can't find anything, alas; not even a clear link between "Star Trek" and "MEGABLOKS" or "Ritvik" anywhere. This could be supercool or super-lousy, depending on how it's executed. I'll keep searching for more info. Where did you see the (...) (21 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) OK, I saw a credible report this morning (no pictures though). (URL) - search for Trek; but it will scroll off within a couple days and is just a brief blurb. The respondant, Rob, co-runs the site is 100% reliable. It is one set, the D, with (...) (21 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I saw a barely-credible report that they showed a 1701-D with Picard figure at Toy Fair this week, for summer release. None of the sites I've seen have any coverage, but that's hardly surprising. Does anyone have any positive (or negative) (...) (21 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
