I spotted all three sets at a KMart in Western Pennsylvania tonight. I picked up Aslan's Camp and Winter Battle for $7.99 each. I haven't yet had the chance to build them, but I'll post reviews as soon as I am able. They must have hit the shelves (...) (19 years ago, 2-Dec-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Thanks for linking to this story. I'd dispute one point, though: (...) That's technically true if you cherry-pick which Mega Bloks you want to test, but then the same can be said of LEGO:LEGO linking. Micro-scale Mega Bloks are almost 100% (...)

Some clueless trekie decided he wanted to use it for starfleet and made up some (...) (19 years ago, 12-Nov-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) I do not mean to be negative about anyone else, but I think NOT seeing the possibilities with BTR as a lack of imagination. The first moment I saw those sets and parts, my mouth dropped open as I was struck with a torrent of possibilities. (...)

(...) Wow! I am of course a big fan of clone-based MOCs, but my own designs tend to be Mega Bloks-only. Your creations do a great job of mingling various brands, and MOCs with BTR elements are extremely rare. Part of that is because BTR never quite (...)

(...) Well, good news and two points of bad news. Bad news I: I don't think that "eschew" is the word you want to use there, because it implies "escape" from or "avoidance" of your MOC, and why would anyone want to do that? Bad news II: I'm not at (...) (19 years ago, 10-Nov-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) 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 (...)

(...) I was thinking of the large blobby shaped "bases" that come with the small sets. Blech! At least a LEGO BURP has regular sides and edges that allow it to be built into something larger. (19 years ago, 3-Nov-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

If by "cool" you mean dirty-looking, not useful for building, and generally ugly then yeah, they might be cool. :) OK, PoC would actually fit the Pyrates style better than if it had been done in LEGO but it still doesn't mean you can build (...)
