| (...) Dave, Dave, Dave. There is no sensor technology sensitive enough to detect humor in a Pauly Shore routine. Although, I hear his routines are quite popular amongst Vorgans (of Galactic Hitchhiker fame). I think that the ship fits well with the (...)

| | | | | Cyborean Fighter
|
| Here's an apocryphal addition to Mega Bloks' long-defunct but still cool Planetoids line: The Cyborean Fighter (URL) (reverse view) (URL) Constructed entirely of Mega Bloks elements, many with direct LEGO equivalents. The sensor disc just behind the (...) (16 years ago, 6-Jul-08, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: FOTW
|
| (...) Way to go Dave! The day you posted this I found some containers of LEGO parts at a yard sale. There were also a couple of containers of Mega Bloks I was forced to buy because I could see some LEGO hull pieces in a container of MB ships, and I (...)

| | | | | (New) Aluminum 2x4 Brick keychains
|
| Several years ago, in a computer controlled machining class, I designed my first clone brick--in aluminum. The bricks are exactly the same size as the offical thing, and work pretty well with each other or with "the leading brand." Mostly it was a (...)

|
| (...) This now begs the question, how many ldu's long is a matchbox car, and do they make trailer trucks and fire engines in matchbox scale. The garage looks like a modern firestation garage, after all. (17 years ago, 1-Mar-08, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

| (...) Well of course you need a chimney- wouldn't be safe to drive that many cars inside without one. Then you need steps, so you can go clean out the soot. (17 years ago, 29-Feb-08, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
| | | | | A big ol' garage
|
| We own about 300 of the Mega-scale Mega Bloks, which my 4-year-old enjoys, particularly when they can be used to build structures for his Matchbox cars, etc. Anyway, here's a garage that we built and which I rendered in LDraw: (URL) It's larger than (...)

| | | | | Kazi anyone?
|
| Anyone got familiarity with Kazi, a mainland Chinese clone company? They print their name on the studs, and seem to use both lego and mb clone elements. Just received sets 6004, 5, and 6, Spider Super Man vehicles (translated at chariots by (...) (17 years ago, 22-Feb-08, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
| | | | | Re: Are Brix Blox LEGO-compatible?
|
| (...) Turns out its all in the way the channels on the bottoms of the bricks were made. Best Lock channels come down to the base of the brick, Brix Blox channels are the same width, but stop one lego stud length short of the base of the brick. That (...)

| | | | | Re: While we're celebrating anniversaries
|
| (...) This is indeed a cool bit of info, and I applaud the sleuthing that led you to discover it! The only down side, as far as I can tell, is that there's no way I'll ever be able to assemble anything close to a comprehensive listing of their sets (...)
