What the heck is (URL) There are more things in Eurasian entertainment than are dreamed of in my clone philosophy, but I've never even heard of these "Luffy" and "Shanks" characters. That's a spiffy three-wheeler, though. Dave! (20 years ago, 26-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

Hi All: I just grabbed the Minimates "Batwing" set at KMart, of all places, for $19.99. With just 110 pieces, it's not a great bargain, but I wanted to be the first kid on my block. They also had the "Bat-Glider" set for $9.99, but I didn't pick (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
