  The Confounding Nega-Bloktrix
 
I've been painting new versions of the (URL) Deadly Spaceman> for years, one for each time a new edition of BrikWars gets posted. But QuikWars' mascot (a Warfang figure from Mega Bloks' first-year Dragons sets), on the other hand, has until now been (...)

  Re: 2005 Toy Fair pics for Megabloks
 
(...) X-Posting to .Pirates in the good-faith interest of sharing information. FUT back to ot.clones only. An anonymous tipster, who previously helped with some (URL) TMNT info> has stepped forward again to provide (URL) link,> exactly as I'd hoped. (...)

  Re: 2005 Toy Fair pics for Megabloks
 
(...) That's plenty! Thanks for this excellent info--I'm really intrigued by the Pyrates line, because it looks as though the minfigs have knees and elbows and possibly ball-and-socket shoulder and hip joints. I only wish that MP had given more (...) (20 years ago, 27-Feb-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Rights to Spiderman..
 
(...) You make a good distinction between film-character and comic-character rights, but it might not apply across the board in this case. Although LEGO did indeed have the tie-in rights for the Spiderman films, it appears that MEGABLOKS has (...) (20 years ago, 27-Feb-05, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  2005 Toy Fair pics for Megabloks
 
Just a couple of links to pics for upcoming Megablok sets: (URL) and (URL) There's a new theme called 'Pyrates' - Pirates vs. Skeletons. Looks like the Dragon line is going Oriental. Only a couple of new things shown for the Marvel line: 2 new sets (...) (20 years ago, 26-Feb-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Rights to Spiderman..
 
Megablocks have the comic rights. Lego have the film rights. Lego can only produce sets relevant to the films, megablocks can't reference the films only the comics. You might find that the Lego deal is with Sony(?) and the Megablocks one, directly (...) (20 years ago, 23-Feb-05, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Clone brand?
 
No real commentary from me, but I just found (URL) these> online and thought I'd share. Dave! (20 years ago, 22-Feb-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Rights to Spiderman..
 
(...) To answer the last part: no listings in the Danish 2005 catalogue... /Jesper (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Rights to Spiderman..
 
I saw in the (URL) and Mail> that Mega Bloks "has Spider-Man on its side since the Montreal company struck an exclusive deal last fall with Marvel Enterprises to develop products featuring Marvel's super heroes, which also include X-Men, Hulk and (...)

  Re: Unknown Clone Brand
 
(...) Whoa! That's the first I've seen of this brand. What wild-looking minifigs. Thanks for the link--I'll try to find more info. Dave! (20 years ago, 17-Feb-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

Guys, Any idea what this clone brand is: (URL) I found this picture while browsing 1000steine.de. The entire folder (with more pics) can be found here: (URL) Red Bean (URL) (20 years ago, 17-Feb-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Price of petrol vs price of plastic products
 
(...) I'm keeping this in lugnet.lego because it might actually be relevant there. Feel free to FUT as appropriate. Overnight, KMart has increased its prices for MegaBloks sets by about 15%. I happen to have been in this same store yesterday, so I (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.lego)

  New Mega Bloks Dragon Minifig sets

Each pack consists of 3 figs and 3 weapons ($2.99 ea.). 9541 Dragon Sages 9542 Spiritus Guild 9543 Xenos Clerics The packaging is different from the usual tins or plastic (...)

  Re: Pokemon Mega Bloks
 
(...) Alas, the whole Pokemon mythology is a mystery to me. As far as I know, Pikachu is the sound of a voyeur's sneeze (pause for raucous laughter). Anyway, I spotted these new Pokemon sets at KMart and grabbed one at random. As it turns out, only (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Get over to Megabloks.com right now!
 
(...) I wonder if this is some kind of swipe at the "collectible masks" market. I'm afraid that it's lost on me, but if it helps sell some more Dragons, then that's super. (...) I can't say for sure, but these look like the same molds used for the (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jan-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Get over to Megabloks.com right now!
 
(...) My local Walmart had most of the new sets when I was in earlier this week. Set 1931 Spider-man vs. Venom is the one that comes in a metal box (like the chess set from a year or two ago). (...) Unleash was the only one of the three (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jan-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Get over to Megabloks.com right now!
 
(...) I checked my local Target, but no sign of the Marvel sets. Oddly, they've rearranged the construction block aisle now that Christmas has passed, and I don't even see a mention of the Marvel stuff in the little placeholder labels on the (...)
