  Re: Pirates of the Caribbean license deal!
 
(...) Oh, those. Yeah, they're not the best, but I'll say this: To me, LEGO BURPS look like nothing more than a deliberate effort to reduce the number of bricks in a set, whereas the Mega Bloks rock-elements at least resemble the rocks that they (...)

  Re: Pirates of the Caribbean license deal!
 
(...) Not useful for building? Well, the hulls aren't appreciably less adaptable than LEGO ship hulls, so YMMV Dirty looking? Heck yes! Generally ugly? No way, IMO (...) The packaging is indeed cool, but the Pyrates minifig-scale accessories are (...) (19 years ago, 3-Nov-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

  Re: Two New MOCs
 
(...) I'm not familiar with that film, but it sounds cool. If I weren't on a slothnet dialup connection, I'd give it a look. (...) I'm glad to hear that I may have rekindled your interest in the brand! Mega Bloks offers a ton of cool elements that (...) (19 years ago, 30-Oct-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

There's been a little discussion of the ToyFair pics already, plus an extra link or two. Check it out: (URL) again. Dave! (19 years ago, 30-Oct-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

  Re: Two New MOCs
 
(...) You know, this may be a little off, but when I see this MOCs I think of the fan film I.M.P.s: Davenport and the scene above the planet when two smuggler ships are hot on the getaway and there are these little police fighters on the chase (...)
