  Re: Best-Lock
 
(...) Hi there! Thanks for checking in and for the info. I actually do own probably around 3000 Best-Lock elements, and maybe two dozen of their minifigs. I am in general agreement with your assessment of compatibility, but I thought that the (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Best-Lock
 
Mark W (...) I don't know if either of you have actually tried a BestLock set... yes, they look pretty cool and you get a LOT of pieces for the price. And the fact that they use the stud width = brick height (so a plate is 1/2 a stud thickness, and (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Freeze!
 
(...) Ah, then my tweak worked! (...) I was just messing with you, and I apologize for the absence of a winky. I think it is a great name. (...) Good one! (...) Methinks you doth protest too much....

(...) Hey, don't mention. Next time, though, get it right! I always knew that you were 1 letter short of an alphabet, Dave! :-) JOHN FUT .addhomonym (19 years ago, 19-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Freeze!
 
(...) Jeez! When you ask it point-blank like that, you make me wonder if I've been misusing it all this time. My usage is a usurpation of the term as it applies to the non-canonical books of the bible (the Gospel of Charlie, the Book of Tasty (...)

  Re: Freeze!
 
(...) The design is my own, though I clearly borrowed the color scheme from IPMII (thanks to John Neal for the abbreviation). Typically I design my stuff exclusively with official Mega Bloks elements in quantities and colors that I actually own so (...) (19 years ago, 19-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Freeze!
 
(...) Sweet stuff. I am a little slow on the get up here, is this, was this, an official Megabloks set thing or totally your own creation existing only in the Megabloks drawer? Anyhew, like it either way. Very, uh, classic spacey. -Avery (19 years ago, 17-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Freeze!
 
(...) Hmmm. First, 3 question: 1. What does "apocryphal" mean? 2. Where did you get your design (URL) inspiration>? 3. There is no third question :-) All seriousness aside, I can only admire your dedication to clone world. You definitely march to (...)

Apocryphal Ice Planet 2002 Check out the first sample (URL) here.> Apocryphal folders (URL) here> post-mod. I'm not acutely familiar with IP2002, and I only own one canonical set, so this is entirely experimental for me. Stay tuned for more whenever (...)

  C3 sets
 
I'm pretty sure that ArtAsylum's C3 line has been discontinued, as evidenced by the forthcoming LEGO licensed Batman stuff, but I stumbled upon a gallery of photos of C3 sets that were apparently never released (along with some that were). Of (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Old clone "Byggefix"?
 
Hi, I recently acquired this: (URL) not sure the bricks pictured really belong to the box. The box is without date, but judging by the design it could be late 50ties or early 60ties. It's Danish, inscibed with "Bengros" and "Dessin Nr. 5450" and (...) (19 years ago, 23-Dec-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Best-Lock
 
(...) That Cessna is news to me. I don't follow Best-Lock as closely as Mega Bloks, but when I see something cool from BL I may give it a look. The John Deere licensed stuff was mentioned (URL) here> a little while back, but that's the last I'd (...) (19 years ago, 23-Dec-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

  Best-Lock
 
Why doesn't Best-Locke keep their site updated? I've never seen these before & don't know the seller, just thought they'ed be of interest: (URL) Best-Lock?> Jeff (19 years ago, 22-Dec-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

If you'd care to see the covers of the instruction books from the early 90's, take a look (URL) here.> True, they're not as ancient as some of the LEGO stuff that Gary Istok showcases from time to time, but they might be of interest to some...

  Mega Bloks Narna now available in the US
 
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)
 
  Re: SCC rules in favour of Mega Bloks in Lego battle
 
(...) 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% (...)

  Re: A clone of the SAAB Hammerhead.
 
(...) Very cool. I think the ordinace is a tad large compared to the rest of the ship but it works anyway. For those who have not seen the show here are some good pics. 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)

  Re: Some ground vehicles to be seen in Starship RPG
 
(...) 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. (...)
