Having just subscribed to this group, I decided to see what clones I have. The Castles others talk about sound cool. I have three Tyco bricks and 2 Mega Blocks bricks (one of which is pink!) - I have no idea how I got them, but I keep them (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Good luck in your auction. I would like to be updated, since this is the first clone auction on Lugnet and the first I have seen. I would really like to see the scans. I am glad you chose not to post your auction here, lest it become a trend, and I (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Well, I built the castle to make sure it had all the 494 pieces and it is missing a few things: The radar dish type piece which connects to the underside of a round tower. A minigfig. A visor to a minifig helmet. A shield and a few weapons. (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

First, this is a newsgroup for discussion and auctions, IMO, should be held elsewhere. There are plenty of places you could auction the set, and then notify people here as well as RTL. eBay is a good bet. Also, Gene (gr3@superlink.net) at the (...)

I asked Todd which group would be appropriate to post auctions in: this one or lugnet.market.auction. To paraphrase, he said "neither" unless the people who read the clone group wouldn't mind auctions in this group. So, do we want to allow auctions (...)

Well, it looks like there is some interest in my Tyco castle. The instructions are in black and white with a little red so there isn't much detail in the picture. However, I could scan in the instructions, which are 8 1/2" X 11", a total of six (...) (26 years ago, 23-Mar-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Dear Todd, I seriously doubt that you will be reading this group, but I do want to thank you for creating it. I realize it very vaguely borders the philosophy of Lugnet, so allowing this here is a witness that you are a generous webmaster. I am glad (...)
