Before them (which came in a huge long box), I had seen similar sets in carry bags, but didn't think they had enough bricks to be worth it. I think they had the same amount, but (...)

Does anyone happen to own any MEGABLOKS catalogs from the early to mid 90's, specifically including the Dinosaur sets from that period? I used to have one or two, but I can't find them and fear that they're lost for good. Also, does anyone have a (...) (20 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

I was in Brook's drug store in Keene, NH 2nite & found 2 of 3 new $4 MB sets: a yellow space fighter, & a lime green dune buggy; they didn't have the third set (shown on the back of the boxes), a red mini sub. Cool sets Jeff (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

With the "grip lock" on the sides do they sit flush next to a LEGO brick, is there a gap, or can it not sit directly next to a LEGO brick using the studs? For me at least, (...)
