| | Target find, and a request
|
|
Alas, the only sets I was able to find on clearance at my local Target were Best-Lock. I'm generally favorably disposed to clones, and at $7.41 for 1000- piece sets I figured what could be the harm? I'm still not thrilled with Best- Lock, but they (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

| | New MegaBloks set
|
|
On Sunday I picked up a small MegaBloks Model Team-esque Tank for $9.99. It's roughly minifig scale and with a little modification could have a cool interior cabin. The set had 304 pieces, most of them dark, military green, as well as 12 wheels and (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

| | Clone Brand Sound Brick?
|
|
In a recent Ebay auction I acquired 4 Lego-compatible brown 4x8x2 bricks, each with a 2x2 square button on top that, when pressed, makes a sound not terribly unlike the classic Godzilla roar. Each stud, with the exception of those on the square (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Last night in a shopping run, I noticed Ritvik has a new Megabloks 700 pc bucket with new colors (pastel/flourescent looking). Doesn't look like it has tiles like the 1500 pc bucket though. (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

As a seller, I really like Abner ;-) As a competing buyer, its futile. My feeling about this set, is that its a knock-off, like Mega Blocks or Tyco.

They are trying to get themselves into the door on Model Team like sets. Which, to me at least, is a very smart thing to do. It's what Lego did to get themselves the positive recognition so many years ago. But their process has not changed, and (...) (25 years ago, 9-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Anyone have reviews of the new tan tank and purple monster truck from Mega Bloks? If the bricks are improving, these sets are a bargain compared to lego. -- Richard (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
