 | | Review/Comments on Mega Bloks Legend set 9611 - Griffon's Hide Out
|
|
I just picked up this set for $4.99 from KB Toys, and thought I'd give some comments on it (this is not a full review as I probably won't actually build it). Quality: several 2x4 plates were misformed. Pieces hold together, but nowheres near as well (...) (25 years ago, 9-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I agree with you about the building quality of TYCO. Head-and-shoulders above any other clone brand. But they didn't round off the edges of pieces like LEGO does. This partially a visual difference (the studs look especially odd without (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

This stuff is "kind of " plug compatible IIRC, I got some in a used lot and there are ways to tie it in. No better pictures if you follow the links, though. (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Hi all, I found that the Ramagon website is finally up and running. Go check it out: (URL) only seem to have the "Mars Colony" sets available, but I think the site is still under construction, so maybe more will be appearing. --james parkin (25 years ago, 6-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) That not true, at least of the Military sets. I've got "Attack Copters" and "Tactical Support" and both have large numbers of basic pieces. Best-Lock is somewhat like Ritvik's MegaBloks in that they get a lot of mileage out of a small stock of (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Take a look at some of the sample images of Best-Lock sets at (URL) get a directory listing; click on the set sumbers to view.) There are some town sets, military, space (they look even more odd than Time Cruisers!), farm, castle and so on. I'd say (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

| | Looking for ATCO, other building toys
|
|
So.. I'm searching for a new source for ATCO blocks, as everything seems to have dried up around here (Spokane, WA). Formerly, I could only find a few small sets at some independent pharamcies, and now I can can't find any. I've got one unopened set (...) (25 years ago, 30-May-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Don't get me wrong -- I think you've got a *great* idea, and there will be die-hard builders who would love to get their hands on your product. :) Being able to connect Lego and K'nex opens up a lot of building possibilities. I'd love to build (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
