  Re: Has anyone seen any pics of the new miniature brick line from Mega Blocks?
 
(...) I got a chance to see these up close and personal at Toy Fair in February and they are on a different scale as well as not compatible with other Mega Bloks/LEGO bricks. They are very cool looking and come with a magnifying glass to work on the (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

  Bricks that say "yabba dabba doo"?
 
Has anybody heard of this clone before? (URL) plates and the figure look like Byggis/Bricks, but that sound brick makes me very puzzled. I'm a little tempted to bid... /Tore (20 years ago, 29-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

  Re: new MB sets
 
(...) Finally I was able to find a single copy of this set at a local KMart, but no other new sets were in evidence. Weird. Here are renderings of some of the pieces you described, though I foolishly omitted the new 45-degree slope element: (URL) (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

In lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, Dave Schuler wrote worthily on MB Ditto Dave! A good answer to the question of whether you'll like the bricks is to simply buy a cheap set and see what you think. One of my sons bought the larger tank, and likes it, (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Mega Bloks: ProBuilder Series
 
Thanks Dave! Normally I look up old posts, but this time I skipped! There seems to be quite a few posts on the MegaBloks vs Lego brands. After reading some I think it may be worth springing a few dollars for the ProBuilder series. BTW: KBToys.com (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Minimates
 
(...) I'm not a great fan of the minimates figure design, so when the JLA kits finally appear in retail outlets, I'll be buying them for the overall sets, rather than for the figures. Thanks for the link, though! Dave! (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Mega Bloks: ProBuilder Series
 
(...) Hi Ram! I haven't yet purchased the Sea Wolf, but now would be a good time to buy it. It originally retailed for $79.99, but TRU has had it on sale for $39.97 for a while due to overstock.

Hi All! Till now I have spend mega bucks on Lego sets. Looking around Mega Bloks seem to have some interesting sets. Since I am still wary of the "Other" stuff.

  Re: Market for clone sets?

Would it be possible to post a scan of one or several of the clone (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Market for clone sets?
 
I picked up a "grab bag" of Lego at a garage sale yesterday. Most of it was Lego, but there were a lot of 'clone' pieces as well -- each stamped with the word "toy".
