It looks like the crane piece in the Creature Seekers floating ship (one of a handfull of Mega Bloks sets (...) (24 years ago, 12-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

They also aren't quite as uniform in color as LEGO bricks (but that may be a plus for castle building). People have noted (...) (24 years ago, 12-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

The catalogues are on the minimalist side, like their website. How big did the White House look ? (24 years ago, 12-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

In my MB Blue Thunder box, there was the usual MB catalogue. However, this one included a set I've never seen in the shops, a White House (as in USA President's residence). Is this set too new to have been seen? So old it's been dropped from the (...) (24 years ago, 12-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
