  MB aircraft carrier
 
Anyone else seen the new Megabloks "USS Kittyhawk" aircraft carrier set? I got one yesterday at TRU. Cdn $80.00 for a 1700 piece set. I weighed the box on my bathroom scale and its about 8 pounds. The box is the same size as their long Pro-Builder (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

  Re: Anime minifigures! (and you can buy them)
 
(...) Are these Lego-compatible in any way? I can't quite tell from the article or the pictures. Dave! (24 years ago, 16-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Anime minifigures! (and you can buy them)
 
For those in the US, these can be ordered from Just Be Toys: www.justbetoys.com Note: there is some adult-oriented anime material on the Just Be site. You have been warned. That is all. -Cheese (...) be (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Anime minifigures! (and you can buy them)
 
Those are pretty funny! I love the Planet of the Apes idea, I wish LEGO would makes some Apes sets, a nice Ape village would be cool.. ha! The only thing is that these guys don't scream mini-fig, they might be "mini" but lack that special something (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Anime minifigures! (and you can buy them)
 
Looks like the Star Wars minifigs are quite popular in Japan. Now there is a company making LEGO-like minifigures of popular anime series and movies. I don't know how compatible they are with real LEGO, but some of them looks real cool for an anime (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jun-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: MegaBlocks Snoopy and Woodstock set?
 
(...) Ooh, cool! Thanks for the word, Russell! I've looked at the SF and SM TRUs and have come up empty, but it's good to hear that at least some TRUs have them. I'll keep up the search! I hope to see you at some upcoming events! --Raymond Flournoy (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

  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.

  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)
