 | | Nano System Metrics
|
| I just recently picked up one of the new Nano System sets (Rescue Cutter) and I have to say these miniature blocks are rather cool. I especially like the plates, they're just so "dainty". The 1x2 and 2x2 bricks with studs on the side for SNOT work (...) (20 years ago, 18-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

| Hi Darrel, Thanks for the comments. About the links, first of all, I have recently discovered (or been told of) a few more non-English websites that I am going to add onto my existing link page hopefully sometimes this weekend. There is, for (...) (20 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.build.minifigs, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Profanity again
|
| (...) Hmm... I see you have a point there. So I guess what I really mean is as long as the accessories don't look out of place in the hands of a Lego minifig (relatively speaking), I'd consider them a clone brand which I defined by companies that (...)

| (...) After you said that I went back to look at all my Oxford figs, and I noticed that the military Oxford figs I have also have different legs design (they're more like Lego's with holes in the back, but are square instead of round). So apparently (...) (20 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

| Hi, Neat website! And your links are fantastic, especially the ones to the Japanese LEGO sites. I desperately want to go there to score some cool LEGO stuff. Anyway, my question is, have you ever considered using Rapid Prototyping technology to make (...)

| | | | | Help needed: my custom beards
|
| Hi guys, I'm close to producing my next batch of custom accessories and I need your opinions. Namely: what colour should I produce my beards in? To save me time from gathering opinions from different forums, I'm conducting a poll at the following (...)

| | | | | Re: Profanity again
|
| (...) Hey, I hadn't thought of that. That also rules out Oxford and Coko, but it may rule-in Stikfas, which are entirely non-compatible, other than their accessories. I stand by my 2x4 brick distintion! Dave! (20 years ago, 15-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Profanity again
|
| (...) Uh, wouldn't that sorta rule out the real LEGO system? Shortswords haven't been made in ABS for years, and I don't believe the minesweeper or cutlass/sabre ever were. The huge axe and katana never were, and the whip/vine would probably arrive (...) (20 years ago, 15-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Profanity again
|
| (...) That's really interesting. The four Oxford minifigs that I have (from the tank set 13000) have a leg design that's considerably different from what you've shown. I'll try to scan them to show you what I mean. (...) Here are two others: (URL) (...) (20 years ago, 15-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

| Hello, (...) Regarding Dave's comment on the distinction of minifig designs between brands; I have taken the liberty to do a rough comparison of the actual differences between an Oxford minifig and a Lego one. I am posting it (URL) here> as it (...) (20 years ago, 15-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Profanity again
|
| (...) Well, it's only my opinion, but I'd suggest that a "true" clone brand is based on the studs-and-tubes system and is able to maintain reasonable clutch power with LEGO bricks and plates. I used to consider the 3:1 plate:brick height ratio to be (...) (20 years ago, 14-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Things like someone who misspelled "cut" by inserting an extra letter. Also you've got to (...) (20 years ago, 14-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I know nothing of trains, but if a train-head happens to see the set, I'd be interested to hear a more (...) (20 years ago, 1-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.trains)

This is my lingering complaint about MEGABLOKS--too often the catalogs are out of date, to (...) (20 years ago, 1-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

| (...) Hi Gail! I stumbled across this set online recently and mentioned it to our LUGNET train-fans here: (URL) I think you're right about the $50US guess--it'll retail for about $49.99, give or take.
