(...) Without seeing them in person I can’t do more than speculate, but it looks to me as if the wheels on the tank are remarkably similar to those used by MegaBloks for years in a number of sets, beginning with the 9707 Combat Tank in 1999. The (...) (20 years ago, 7-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

Brickcentury is the same as Shifty Bricks (actually, you can tell this from the pictures). I believe they have either renamed their military line to this, or they are planning to rename the company itself. Some of the newer military sets that are (...)

I’m not 100% sure of the set numbers, but here are the details as well as I recall them: Set #876 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Promo Bucket 300 pieces, with two (...)

(...) My local "Dollar General" didn't have any on the shelves, but it did have close to four dozen copies of LEGO's NBA minifig packs and one copy of the MegaBloks "Cyclone" Gyro-Fighter. However, "Family Dollar" featured five copies of each of two (...) (20 years ago, 3-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Thanks for the news, Ray. In my town, Dollar General stores are a dollar-a-dozen, so I'll check around and see what I can find. I've seldom had much luck with discount store LEGO or clone finds, but every so often a set or two pop up. If I can (...) (20 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

BTW, in case anyone cares... a few of the smaller Built To Rule sets (Hasbro ?) were spotted at a Dollar General the other day. These may be new stock or old stock. That particular store is not one that get to frequently, so I'm not sure. There was (...) (20 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Thanks! (...) Heh, that's cute. My initial reaction was laughing and groaning at the same time. I suspect that may have been your purpose. Anyway, I'm flattered. And you did a good job of covering your stated goal (similar to the Outcast, but (...) (20 years ago, 29-Nov-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
