| | Mega Bloks gets Marvel License

I found this on www.action-figure.com and had to post it. (URL) have known about this for a while now (Becuase I have a Mega Bloks Retail Account) but it looks like LEGO has lost the Spider-man license as well. As I find out more information I will (...)

(...) Do you know of a web site for Brick Century? This is the first I've heard of them. Do you have pictures of these sets? What other sets do they offer? Will you email your contact to me? I'm suprised that Dave hasen't asked you this yet! (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Wow! I've seen all kinds of bootleg stuff on Ebay, but this is the first time I've heard of a removal due to copyright infringement. I can't find any other current Shifty auctions, so maybe Ebay is on the lookout for the ersatz brand. (...) It (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general)

(...) They're pretty awful alright. I've only seen a couple Shifty sets, and it looks like not only do they make mistakes on their boxes, but there's a typo in their name ;) I *thought* these were a 'China-only' brand, and even then were iffy, so (...)

Hi! In a local shop I noticed a Shifty set, a copy of Lego 1761: (URL) bought it, just to see what it was, and found: The box is a copy, with the right colours, and the error on the box - there are by some reason two models of this one. The (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general)

(...) I am not familiar with this brand... could you set me up with a link to check this stuff out. I am currently trying to get a hold of some more Oxford military sets. I have several from my time in Korea. Having recently taken them out and (...) (20 years ago, 9-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I almost hate to give up my source, but I've recently been able to purchase MISB sets of Brick's Century Miltary series. This is an overseas eBay source, but I have been able to get additional sets added to my eBay order. I felt that this way I (...) (20 years ago, 9-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Now that you mention it, I seem to recall a weird residue or film on the bricks in sets I bought in 1999, but I don't think it colored my hands in any noticeable way. Maybe rather than mold, the substance was mold-release? (...) I've found (...) (20 years ago, 6-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I'd agree with Dave! If you hate Tyco and MegaBloks, you'll hate Best-Lock even more (And again, I also have to admit I've always been impressed with the quality of the limited amount of Tyco Super-Blocks that I've been exposed to). One thing (...) (20 years ago, 6-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

A key part of ESPG is that all minifigs have to be attached to the ship (well they technically don't have to but they fall off easily if they are not, and that means they are "in the (...)
