(...) Top marks Nicholas! No I didn't know this, but suddenly one of my heretical pursuits is considerably less heretical. Admittedly I don't tend to cut up roadplates (haven't got enough of those), I cut up grey baseplates to make ship decks, but (...)

I've thought about getting these baseplates occasionally (the first used toy store I went to had one of the dinosaur sets, complete with baseplate) since they might make nice islands for the Pirate Game, but I just keep holding off. Mega Bloks also (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I do, I do, I have two. (...) You can see both in that first shot, a dark tan one and a lighter tan one. I was lucky to get both sets in box at Target for approx A$7 each, leaving two more ravaged examples on the shelf, never to be seen again. (...)

(...) I have a suspicion that Peter White has one of these - I liked it. I remember thinking, wait a sec, that's not square, that can't be lego.... I think we used it as terrain in the very first BrikWars, pictured in the right side middle of this (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

| | Exceedingly Rare Baseplates?
|
|
The Velociraptor and Parasaurolophus dinosaur sets of some years ago came with smallish raised baseplates in a dark tan color. I've bought several of these dinosaur sets on Ebay, listed usually as "complete," but I've never received a baseplate with (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I can't wait! And I'm hoping it includes a bunch of 2x2 rounds, as the tiny picture suggests it might... Have you seen an open copy of the Harley yet? I'm intrigued, but I'd like to hear a parts inventory before I plunk down my $$. I'm not a (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Goodness gracious that's a big boat! As much as I would love to see it in person, I really like the presentation of the pix on your page. At a glance it looks like an overview of the real thing (as was borne out by a passing coworker who (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Ummm <<shifts uncomfortably from foot to foot sheepishly>> 5 aircraft carriers and three battleships :-) That would be a bit less than A$500. I could not afford to be doing this in Lego. I did have two battleship boxes full of pieces left over (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

This opens new possibilities for my TantiveIV project. (...) (25 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
