(...) Here's a question... Why should Ritvik make what we want just to be a foil for LEGO? Wouldn't it be in Ritvik's interest to make stuff that we actually would buy? If we're not going to buy it, why should they bother? Something to think about. (...) (24 years ago, 4-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) As 7 of 9 would say, "irrelevant". MB can watch all they want. Most people here are LEGO purists (we are in the *LEGO* Users Group Network after all), and as long as they remain in the off-topic.clones NG, I think it is perfectly fine. (...) (...)

If MegaBlok make sets and pieces that we're after (and it seems they are able to make them cheaper too), not only will we treat them with the same respect, we'll go out and buy their products! So we should welcome them into this discussion group, (...) (24 years ago, 4-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
