For no particular reason I'm working to assemble as comprehensive a list of MegaBloks sets as I can manage. So far I'm only concerned about the following data fields: Set Number Theme (Blok-Bots, Alien Agency, ProBuilder, etc.) Set Name Year of (...)

(...) It's not a company called c3 ... that's the name of their building blocks line. The company name, Art Asylum, is not a new or small toy company... they've produced the popular "Minimates" line of 'block like' action figures (similar to (...)

I can't find anything online yet, but my local Target had two copies of set 98001 Fire Ghost Dragon on the shelf. It's one of a series of four sets, judging by the pictures on the box. The sets are numbered 98001 through 98004 and represent Fire, (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Interesting! Do you have a link to this info? I'm surprised that LEGO would enter into a contract in which the other party had rights of termination, but such contracts surely exist. Thanks for the news in any case. Dave! (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Hi Avery: We've had some discussion of these here, but not too much, owing (IMO) to the fact that the product line is still fairly new and has only released a few sets. Here are a few relavant links to give you a sense of general opinion: (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Agreed. The big pipe thingie is about 12 x 6 x 20 high and essentially one bit, but as great big juniorised bits go, at least its not an immediate candidate for the round file. And the rest of the bits are cool. (...) Except that bit. Not one (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Today we got "clarification" from a stock analyst that Lego has Spider-man movie rights through 2007 from Sony. Mega Bloks contradicted this, saying Lego's contract is up in 2005 and that Marvel makes the decisions. (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

| | A new clone brand?
|

I have not seen any past postings about a clone brand called C3. The company must be a small toy company, I have not heard of it before. Against my hesitant judgement, I picked up a set -- Batman's Bat wing and I was surprised. The pieces connect (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Even photos of your own sets would be greatly interesting. Thanks for any info you (...) (20 years ago, 21-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

| | Cool display at TRU

This morning I stopped by the TRU less visited and saw a really nifty display of MegaBloks sets. It was basically in five parts and took up a surprising amount of floorspace. Additionally, it was located directly opposite the LEGO section, so I'd be (...) (20 years ago, 21-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
