(...) Where have I been... I've been around. Did a stint working for one of the Lego stores for a little over a year, working myself poor as an assistant manager. I felt somewhat compelled not to post here during that period. And, then again, I (...) (20 years ago, 5-Nov-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

<snip, et. al.> Well, here it is, my B-day, and I got to open up the package this morning. The crate is a bit better than reported or expected. It's real wood - thin and mostly ply, but real wood. The boxes inside are just 2. One for each set. I (...) (20 years ago, 10-Nov-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

<snip> More news from the Dragons front. I don't think that this has been brought to anyone else's attention. I just found these 2 sets on KBtoys.com. One a Fire set and one an Ice. Set #205651 ( (URL) )and set #205661 ( (URL) . Both are on sale for (...) (20 years ago, 18-Nov-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

<snip> (...) Yes I do... the 4 new ones that you reported on, 9858 (Dragon Mountain), and 9887 (Fire Storm Fortress). All the others I either have on-hand or on-order, (AFAIK). That would be 7 dragons from all 6 of the sets I don't have yet. (...) (20 years ago, 19-Nov-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) why I never mentioned them before. This site: (URL) has info on them. Do a search for "bloks" and you'll get a nice listing of these and other sets. I found these on page 2 of the search results. Still, the two-pack does indeed look like it (...) (20 years ago, 19-Nov-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

<snip> (...) Wow! Apparently the UK gets a differant selection of sets and what's actually in them. Just looking at the version shown for 9891 "Vorgan Stronghold" I don't recognize anything about that set from what I have... Ok, if you don't count (...)

(...) Yeah, I've wondered about that. All I know is that those pictures have been up for quite a while, so maybe they date from before the sets' release and are actually just "promotional" images, possibly subject to change? (...)

<snip> (...) Maybe, maybe not. I think I'd like to find out for certain though. At least as far as the Vorgon Stronghold goes (even if it's like the U.S. version (i.e. "normal," I wouldn't mind a second copy of the set; very nice BURP-like pieces.) (...)

(...) Looks like there are a few additional Dragons sets on the near horizon. Check them out here: (URL) see the "Wizard's Strong Box" and "Wizard's Sea Assault" for starters, and then there are the "Summon," "Unleash," and "Bane" sets. Dave!

<snip> (...) The 'Wizard's Sea Assalt' set looks like the Iron Raider's (9252) with a differant number, (Sea Asault set looks like an exact match). I still want the Sea Asault set, in whatever form it comes in. I do possess all the 'Elements' sets (...) (20 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
