    New ProBuilder Set? —Dave Schuler
   I just saw this auction on eBay: (URL) not mine, and I don't know the seller, so I'm not soliciting bids in any way. I haven't seen this set previously--does anyone know about it? As of noon EDT Sunday the "click for larger image" links weren't (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
   
        Re: New ProBuilder Set? —Richard Parsons
     (...) Detail link on the open box worked for me. I haven't seen this set (here in Australia). I thought pro-builder was pretty new too. I somehow doubt the set is complete either, eh? Richard Still baldly going... (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

     (...) Haven't seen it here in Canada yet (home of Ritvik/Megabloks). Clicking on the picture only works properly if you have JavaScript enabled. (24 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
   
        Re: New ProBuilder Set? —Dave Schuler
   (...) I finally nabbed one of these! The set builds a front-end loader and a dumptruck, both of them sort of to minifig scale for huge, construction-site vehicles, and in that way more satisfying than the miniscule dumptrucks offered by another (...)

        Re: New ProBuilder Set? —Dave Schuler
   I'm replying to my reply to myself, so I hope that no one objects to this breach of etiquette. This seemingly rare set has shown up on Ebay: (URL) set's really pretty nifty. No new or particularly unusual pieces, but the designs are good, and I love (...) (22 years ago, 16-Dec-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

     (...) I have either seen these in the flesh or seen them in a catalogue. I guess I assumed you knew about them. [The Great Clone Hoax day 30] -- Hop-Frog (22 years ago, 2-Apr-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
    
         Re: New ProBuilder Set? —Dave Schuler
     (...) I snagged one on Ebay last year, but that's the only place I've found it (which is exactly *one* more source than I've found for another alleged clone product...). It's a pretty good design, using almost exclusively basic elements. No unique (...) (22 years ago, 2-Apr-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
   
        Re: New ProBuilder Set? —Doug James
   I have this set- I won an auction for an aircraft carrier and the seller threw in the construction vehicles as a bonus. Not too bad and not too great either. I don't like the wheels- too cheaply made and the stickers make them look even cheaper. I'd (...) (22 years ago, 2-Apr-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
   
        Re: New ProBuilder Set? —Dave Schuler
   (...) Well, "cheap" is in the eye of the beholder. Here again is the POV-Ray rendering of half of the set: (URL) YMMV, but in terms of minifig scale I definitely prefer it to something like (URL) the MegaBloks sets are marketed toward a different (...)

   (...) stuff I'd like to see in greater quantities from MB. I could see wanting more of those stackable ladders, those are cool. I'm not looking at one right now, but I think it has a wood pattern molded into the element. -- Hop-Frog (22 years ago, 3-Apr-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
