  Re: MegaBloks announces Mobile Suit Gundam License
 
(...) So MB is now trying to jump on the mecha bandwagon to compete with LEGO's Exo-Force sets...interesting. I wonder if they'll make a realistic picture of one of their Gundams that's just a pile of robot limbs, since that's what will probably (...)

  Re: MegaBloks announces Mobile Suit Gundam License
 
(...) Criticisms like yours are delightful because they show clearly that you don't know what you're talking about. First, Mega Bloks beat LEGO in the race for articulated mech-like sets by several years. Exo-Force is very much a johnny-come-lately (...)

  Re: MegaBloks announces Mobile Suit Gundam License
 
(...) I think it's safe to say Bandai has the ability to nix something that MegaBloks develops if they're not happy with it, so I highly doubt this would happen. Also, as Dave said, MB already beat Lego in the mecha department. As much as I don't (...) (18 years ago, 24-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: MegaBloks announces Mobile Suit Gundam License
 
(...) If I want to diss Megabloks, then I'm in the exact right place to do it. (The L in LUGNET stands for LEGO.) (18 years ago, 24-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: MegaBloks announces Mobile Suit Gundam License
 
(...) Dave's point is you should be informed before you diss, otherwise you just make yourself look bad. Jeff (18 years ago, 24-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: MegaBloks announces Mobile Suit Gundam License
 
(...) Well, Jeff already hit the nail on the head. Go ahead and diss them. Heck, scream to high heaven about how bad you think they are, for all I care. But the more obviously ill-informed your criticism, the sillier you look in the process. I mean, (...) (18 years ago, 24-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: MegaBloks announces Mobile Suit Gundam License
 
(...) You know those portions of text that the LUGNET admins have programmed to be inserted into our email addresses when we post? You'll see things like "IHATESPAM" or "+avoidspam+" in part of the poster's email address to help thwart those (...) (18 years ago, 24-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Agreed, but the original post was also sent to several other newsgroups, and FUT to .build.mecha as well. ROSCO (18 years ago, 24-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: MegaBloks announces Mobile Suit Gundam License
 
(...) <snip> (...) I have to at least partially disagree with you here. I remember buying a blok bots set many years ago (yes, long before Exoforce, Titan XP, and Life on Mars). I remember being particularly excited about the joint technology, and (...) (18 years ago, 24-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: MegaBloks announces Mobile Suit Gundam License
 
(...) Well, I find it annoying, yes. (URL) are some of my thoughts on the subject, in fact. At the end of the day, this is obviously a LEGO-fansite, but it seems childish in a "he-men-women-haters-club" sort of way to attach a little snark in the (...)

  Re: MegaBloks announces Mobile Suit Gundam License
 
(...) Fair enough, but it's still in the disser's own interest to know what he's talking about. Dave! (18 years ago, 25-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: MegaBloks announces Mobile Suit Gundam License
 
(...) Those very first batch of Blok Bots were pretty bad. However the second generation of Blok Bots was right around the time Mega Bloks had a rather large quality jump. They are still not as good as Lego but they are a lot closer than the early (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jun-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) I wonder if they'll make a realistic picture (...) David, now adays, clutch problems are the result of a sculpture pushing the envelope of the elements capacity, not poor manufacturing standards. Lego, MB and the Cobi version of Best Lock are (...)
