(...) Actually, I bought the various little metal boxes of figs for use in D&D. I ended up with a number of little hill pieces, as well as the juniorized wall segments. I've taken these and used them to make a little tower on one of the bases, which (...) (20 years ago, 6-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Mmmmmmm. Best Lock are a disappointment - some cool designs and fun models, but waaaaaay too poor in the brick consistency department, and, as you say, not compatible. I picked up a couple of small cheap sets for less than the price of a pack (...) (20 years ago, 6-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) That may be the first time you've seen this set, but it's pretty old, by the looks of things. It's got the old Teenage Mutant HERO Turtle name that was created for the UK (where "ninja" was too negatively associated with "terrorism"), with the (...)

Apparently MEGABLOKS isn't the only brick-based construction toy to have secured a (URL) TMNT> license. I know that Byggis had previously produced some Jurassic Park sets, but this is the first time I've seen the Turtles. Byggis is a very high (...)

(...) Yeah, I picked up a few Best-Lock sets on deep clearance at Target a while back. They don't have anywhere near the clutch power of LEGO or MEGABLOKS, I think because they use a studs-and-slots system rather than studs-and-tubes. It's a shame, (...)

(...) No, except for the Alien Agency set all of our Mega Bloks have come from bulk lots of used LEGO from yard sales, etc. You'd be surprised how much clone material you amass after a while, even with periodic bulk donations to charity.
