Luton Woolies have loads of Mega Bloks lego scale "PRO BUILDER" sets at £12.99. They are marked "Save £4" I think. These are really big boxes for the money. They have got the big Mega Bloks blocks on offer as well if anyone is interested. Nothing on (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Well, if there isn't support for a clones database that's fine. But I still think that the L stands for "legos" in the generic plastic brick meaning -- at least for most people that see it.

Well, just to throw in $.02 here, I'd be curious to see a clone database, and I might even use it from time to time. However, two things: A. If we view it as Todd & Suz's sandbox, it's their choice. B. If we see them as fulfilling our needs/wants in (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.db.scans)
