(...) Mmmm. My boys are certainly waaaay keener on the Blok Bots than slizers or robo riders. And I do agree on the blocks hanging on - maybe they're a bit sharper too. In any event, they're certainly a bit harder on the finger tips. Good and cheap. (...) (24 years ago, 5-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

|

I already have a few of these, but found a bag of 30+ on a flee market and bought them for US$ 0,50. They look really old, but attach firmly. Does anyone have info on them? How old could they be? Where were they made? Anything? -- Tore Eriksson (...) (24 years ago, 5-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) They are VERY lego-like and pretty good quality too.

Now those are just darn cool. I wish LEGO would come up with something similar using the ThrowBots ball joints. They wouldn't have to be particularly complex, but they could still be very stylish.

(...) Wow! I have no idea what they are, but there are plenty of stores in Boston that carry Japanese toys, so maybe they'll crop up in one of them eventually. That said, I got all excited for a second because it seemed like the parts were all (...) (24 years ago, 4-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

It's in Japanese: (URL) knows what they are? Are they only available in Japan? This site is worth browsing around for any mecha fans: (URL) got lots of good quality photos of the newest Japanese mecha toys and models for inspiration. ;) (24 years ago, 4-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.build.mecha)

While shopping ÖoB in Örnsköldsvik (N. Sweden), I found a pile of Bricks boxes. Where it used to read something like: Made in Sweden by Playbox, Älmhult, there is a self-adhesive label reading: Made in China by (I don't remember...). The bricks (...)
