    Re: Chris Gray's site (was Re: MB sites) —James Brown
   (...) No, it's not. At least, not in my case. My "prejudice" against MB is mostly 2 factors: (partly 1, but mostly 2) 1: Nostalgia. I grew up with Lego, I didn't grow up with Mega Bloks. 2: I don't like the feel of Mega Bloks. It's that simple. I've (...) (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

That's likely unavoidable - most of us had lots of fun as kids, and spent lots of time playing. One of the (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
