  Gotham Skyscraper
 
I've just put up a web page with pictures of my latest creation - a seven foot grey skyscraper that would fit right in to Gotham City. It's done in Megabloks, since it would be too expensive to do something like that with Lego. You can see it at: (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jun-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)  
 
  Re: MegaBlocks Snoopy and Woodstock set?
 
(...) Long time no talk, Ray! I found your Snoopy Mega Bloks sets at the Toys R Us on Winchester Blvd. in San Jose today. They have 7 of them for $24.99 each. Russell (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

  Best-Lock in the US
 
Greetings Cloners... I got the following e-mail from Best-Lock on Tuesday. "Best-Lock is a small manufacturer competing with some of the biggest companies in the toy industry, so we really do appreciate your interest and are working very hard to get (...)

  Re: MegaBlocks Snoopy and Woodstock set?
 
(...) Really? Wow! Where are you located? Has anyone in the San Fran/San Jose area seen these at a TRU? I was just at the San Francisco TRU (9th St) and they didn't have the set. Thanks for the info! --Raymond Flournoy ()"o) ===...=== (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: MegaBlocks Snoopy and Woodstock set?
 
(...) True fact. Have you ever noticed how attractively coloured some birds can be? Now check out the new lego dinos -- ugh! I don't mind creative license, but it could at least be aesthetically pleasing if that's the criteria. My point isn't who (...)

  Re: MegaBlocks Snoopy and Woodstock set?
 
(...) I didn't realize that anyone knew just what color dinosaurs were. Since many of them had feathers, paleontologists have suggested that some dinosaurs were very likely brightly and gaudily colored like birds, their presumed descendants. --james (...)

  Re: MegaBlocks Snoopy and Woodstock set?
 
(...) I saw it at TRU today. I think it was $25 or $30. The only unusual pieces I could detect from the box was my favorite megabloks hinge piece in white -- it is used to angle Snoopy's eyes-- and there is some use of angled bricks peculiar to (...)

If the seller hasn't removed the picture you can see it at (URL). When I saw the picture, I had the same idea as you-- it would be fun to get the instructions and try to build them out of LEGO. Maggie C. (...) Yes, cute! (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: MegaBlocks Snoopy and Woodstock set?
 
(...) I have this magazine and was planning to put up a scan of it tonight. Since you posted the link to a pic in another message I'll save myself the trouble. Anyway, I think I'm going to try to build one myself from the pics. Ben Roller (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: MegaBlocks Snoopy and Woodstock set?
 
OK, I know it's poor form to follow-up your own post, but I did find the set at an on-line store. Here is a link to the page with a picture: (URL) would still like to see this in person in a brick-and-mortar store first, though. Any info? Anyone? (...)

  MegaBlocks Snoopy and Woodstock set?
 
I apologize for the off-brand discussion leaking into the main LEGO area, but has anyone seen the new Snoopy and Woodstock MegaBlocks sets in stores yet? I've seen the pictures of the set in the Snoopy Etc. catalog, and it looks like Snoopy and (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

  Re: Anyone want some (warning: rest of subject may be offensive) Mega Bloks?
 
(...) That's a very good idea; I'm probably a bad person for not thinking of it myself first. Ok, unless anyone wishes to top that offer :) that's what I'll do. (24 years ago, 12-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)

  Anyone want some (warning: rest of subject may be offensive) Mega Bloks?
 
Here's the deal -- two Christmases ago, my well-meaning mother-in-law gave me (along with some real Lego) a bucket of Mega Bloks she'd gotten at a garage sale. I took them gratefully of course, but (again of course) they've been sitting in their (...) (24 years ago, 11-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)
 
  Re: name the piece (please?)
 
(...) Randy, The window frame looks like some Tandem pieces that I have. Tandem bricks generally have a stylized "T" with two dots (kinda like .T. ) on the studs. Also, Tandem is softer than LEGO. Mega-Bloks plastic is more brittle than LEGO, and (...) (24 years ago, 9-May-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Gender-changing plates -- in new MegaBlocks sets?
 
(...) I've got inventories of some of them on my site. According to those, the #9761 Desert Patrol has 11 tan double-sided 2x2's. That's all I see, but I don't have inventories of the #9745 WaveBreaker or of the two new smaller green military sets (...) (24 years ago, 3-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
