  Re: Get over to Megabloks.com right now!
 
(...) I just got back from lunch at Walmart, and held/inspected some of those sets. Then I get back and check out Lugnet, and you report on the MB site update. My report: I looked at the following sets; 1911, 1916, 1917, and one other set that had a (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

  Pokemon Mega Bloks
 
I was in Meijer over the weekend with my Nephew and was browsing the isle as always. They had many new Mega Bloks products including Pokemon Balls that had Mega Bloks inside. There are 4 different kinds to find. He got Pikachu that can evolve from (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jan-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Just build.....
 
(...) Doh! Uh... Hmm... Uh... Sophocles wrote plays over two thousand years ago, and the well has been used as a watersource since antiquity, so "Play Well" is clearly a ripoff, too. Uh, sure... Dave! (20 years ago, 27-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Just build.....
 
(...) Ha! I love it. They couldn't decide which company's motto to rip off-- Nike or LEGO, so they compromised:-) JOHN (20 years ago, 27-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: so, a quick poll for you.
 
(...) Hi Mark: As far as I know, this particular knock-off set is at least a few years old, so I'd think that it was probably included in the recent lawsuit (and should have been discontinued, I suppose). I'm not familiar with this online seller, (...) (20 years ago, 27-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  so, a quick poll for you.
 
So uh, do you think that Lego will have a problem with this: (URL) Taken from an (URL) online store>. Especially when you compare it with: (URL) >> Set number (URL) 6256>? I thought Lego just came down on this company for ripping off it's product? (...) (20 years ago, 26-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

  Re: Bad News for Richard's Wallet (was Re: New Dragons Sets)
 
<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)
 
  Bad News for Richard's Wallet (was Re: New Dragons Sets)
 
(...) 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!

  Review of MB 9962
 
Before I get started, I just noticed that the MegaBloks website has been updated to include several new products in the (URL) ProBuilder line,> not to mention the Nano stuff that Jeff discussed (URL) here.> Jeff also mentioned the 9962 jet, but I'll (...)

  Re: new nano
 
(...) Hi Jeff! I briefly (URL) mentioned> these sets previously, but I didn't have very complete or thorough information. Thanks for the detail and for the news re: the 300 piece set. Dave! (20 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: new nano
 
sorry to reply to my own post, but the 4 new racers are seen here: (URL) new nano> I did not see the 300 piece set I got, though. Jeff (20 years ago, 19-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  new nano
 
I saw new Megablocks Nano sets today; 4 new cars with extra engines & headlight pieces to customize your car-apparently the bottom of the cars light up to simulate neon under cars; AND a 300 piece 'build station'. the coolest thing was the new nano (...)

  10 lbs of Mega Bloks tan parts
 
I have said amount in a tub free for anyone who wants to pay postage. I find it hard to throw stuff away, even MB. But it goes in the trash before the end of the year if no-one wants it. It comes from the tank sets. I am keeping just the wheels and (...) (20 years ago, 18-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: New Dragons Sets
 
(...) Is that the one with the piston-based "ice breath" system? If so, my local Value City has a few on the shelves for $19.99 (a minor discount, but at least it's something.) Hope this is of use! Dave! (20 years ago, 16-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: PCS Edventures partners with Mega Bloks
 
(...) (URL) can a product line that PCS Edventures successfully launched based on the quality of LEGO materials and technology of the RCX be converted to Mega Bloks material? LEGO may have dropped out of the relationship, and they sought a (...) (20 years ago, 15-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Lego loses legal battle with Best-Lock in Germany
 
(...) I saw that press release and couldn't decide whether to mention it here. I don't know if those of us in North America will see much impact from this, but anything that makes a stronger brand would seem to be a benefit in the long run. For that (...)

  Re: Lego loses legal battle with Best-Lock in Germany
 
(...) MB issued a press release about this as well: (URL) a relatively slow loading PDF. Unfortunately I could not just grab the text but the gist is they are happy and they think they are going to do well.
