Review of Dread Eye’s Phantom MSRP: $49.99 Before I begin, we need to get a few things out of the way: One: The Figures: These are the sculpted and highly detailed figures I discussed in an earlier review, and if you simply don’t like them, you (...)

Addendum—boy, am I a knucklehead. The Dragon does have a cluster of four studs at the middle of its back, exactly positioned for a minifig to sit upon it.

This is from the Dragons: Metal Ages series, continuing the line of “Dragon Eggs” that we’ve seen before (but now better, IMO). In brief, each set is a large egg containing a single dragon figurine in ten pieces. I haven’t previously been thrilled (...) (19 years ago, 20-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) I know almost nothing about Rose Art, except for what I've seen of the Magnetix toys on stores' shelves. However, as I read the PowerPoint presentation on the MEGABLOKS website, I noticed something interesting in the discussion of license (...) (19 years ago, 17-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) (snip) Interesting. IIRC Rose Art did some puzzles for LEGO, which presumably will not be contracts that are renewed. (19 years ago, 16-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

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)

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 (...)

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)
