  Ill tidings for Built-To-Rule?
 
My local TRU has the entire line of BTR sets (Transformers, GI Joe, and Tonka) on 50% clearance. Well, they say 50%, but sets that were $12.98 are not $6.98, etc. Obviously, this speaks poorly of BTR’s outlook, but it affords the opportunity to (...)

  Re: Any set you haven't seen is a new set
 
(...) I know--I'm my own worst enemy. (...) Alas, funds are ubertight at the moment, and so I only made half-hearted bids. If I'd known how low the final price was to be, I probably would have pitched as high as a sawsky for the Dumptruck. I'm (...) (21 years ago, 8-Mar-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Fighting with yourself again? (...) You should have went the 4 bucks man... I believe it's always OK to pay almost as much as the postage costs to ship things... (21 years ago, 8-Mar-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Any set you haven't seen is a new set
 
I won (URL) Crane on Friday after a harshly-contested bidding process. Tyco's Superblocks came and went during my early college days (aka my LEGO Dark Ages), so everything I know about them has been gleaned from other clone fans, auctions, and the (...)

  Re: Review of set 1401: 1/4 Pipe Fight
 
(...) I don't own that set, but I wondered if that was indeed a single piece or some trick of the eye deceiving me. The FDNY Firetruck had the corresponding inverse slope piece in red, so I guess it was only a matter of time. Cool! (...) You made (...) (21 years ago, 5-Mar-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Review of set 1401: 1/4 Pipe Fight
 
In lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, Dave Schuler wrote another characteristically comprehensive review. Mmmmm. I note that that this, the go cart set and the truck have also turned up in Australia (Big W). Our pricing is not so convivial though. The (...)

  Re: new MegaBloks "promo" set
 
(...) Neat-o! I've seen a few other polybags in that series, but not the flag. I'll check my local TRU tomorrow. Thanks for the info. Dave! (21 years ago, 4-Mar-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  new MegaBloks "promo" set
 
Has anyone else seen this set: (URL) picked a couple up at my local Toys 'r Us today for $2.99 each. Russell (21 years ago, 4-Mar-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Review of set 1401: 1/4 Pipe Fight
 
Disclaimer: I’m not particularly TMNT-savvy, so I’m not conversant with all of the lore and mythology of that universe, but I’ve seen the cartoon once or twice (and probably saw the first movie, way back when). With that in mind, there may be (...) (21 years ago, 4-Mar-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Has anyone seen any pics of the new miniature brick line from Mega Blocks?
 
(...) Holey moley, that sounds cool! I haven't heard a peep aside from what I've read here, but I'll keep looking. Any ideas on what kind of themes or models might be in the works? Dave! (21 years ago, 4-Mar-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Has anyone seen any pics of the new miniature brick line from Mega Blocks?
 
Ever since I found out about Mega Blocks making miniature bricks I've been excited to see some pictures. A few days ago I read another article (which I have lost the cite to since) that described a 700 piece model that would fit into the palm of (...)

  Forthcoming MEGABLOKS ventures
 
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 (...)

  Re: Yes or No: Is MegaBloks doing Star Trek?
 
(...) 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)
