(...) A model that keeps falling apart while I build it is fustrating. A little bit of this is fine, but if it happens too much, I will give up on the model.

(...) Dave! Want MegaBlok anecdotes? Here are a couple: After Christmas I got an Alien Agency Mobile Recovery Unit on clearance and gave it to my 8 year-old. He found it very frustrating because the garbage truck would not stay together but fell (...) (20 years ago, 4-Aug-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
