It's set (URL) with 720 pieces and retails for $29.979. Actually, it's a bundling of the previously released (URL) 18> and (URL) Lab> sets, but the price is a bargain relative to those earlier sets. Hangar 18, I believe, had an MSRP of $29.97, and (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Okay, I'm back. They had one copy of set 3632, Mutiny Isle, for $8.99. This leads me to believe that other sets have already been snapped up, and when I visited this same store on Wednesday of last week, they didn't even have any Pyrates sets (...)

(...) This is good news. I'll check my local TRU at lunch, but alas I'm not greatly optimistic; they only got the Marvel sets about three weeks ago. Still, there are other retail venues near me, so I'll look around. Thanks for the info. Dave! (19 years ago, 6-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Everybody's a comedian... 8^) (...) That's a good question. The current Poke-ball sets seem like a better swipe at the Poke-fad, but they're like five years after the fact, aren't they? Those mosaic sets totally missed the mark, IMO. As far as (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Well, since Disney is behind the film and the link leads to "the official Disney Comsumers Products licensee list", I'll step out on a limb and say the license is for the film. ;) My question is, what form will the set/s take? When Pokemon was (...) (19 years ago, 5-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Hey Dave!, Here in Charlotte, NC I saw 2 of the 3 small Pyrate sets at TRU today. These are the ones that come packaged in the pirate skulls. The eyepatch is a soft vinyl that lifts up to reveal one of the included minifigs. Didn't buy any so (...) (19 years ago, 5-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Jeez Louise, that's unexpected. Or maybe not, since the film is coming out. Any idea if the license includes the films (as in the case of the Marvel license) or applies only to the books? Wild stuff. Thanks for the news! Dave! (19 years ago, 3-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

It appears that MegaBloks has the license to produce sets based upon the movie version of the C.S. Lewis book, 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe' coming in December. (URL) No details yet. Thanks to Jake_Snicket from FBTB for the link. Ken (19 years ago, 3-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
