Hi everyone! My name is Zac Soden. I am 16 years old and live on the sunshine coast in Queensland. I have been a Lego maniac all of my life and are a keen collector of Star Wars sets.

Evening all, After worthy feedback from helpful dudes (thanks Tim and Udo), and having seen the Netscape rendition of the Port Block Yards site for the first time (eeeek!), I have washed simpler, lower contrast backgrounds through all three sites, (...)

(...) Even better than that, Best-Lock has some 1x1 and 1x2 bricks with side studs; given the 20LDU height, you can stack several of these and make a secure perpedicular mounting surface for bricks. The colors aren't too far off LEGO true, so some (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Oh, hey thanks for the info... yeah, I could tell the studs were too tall. Hey, wait... that means Best-Lock bricks are exactly 1 stud high?!? (so a 1x1x1 brick would actually be a cube with a stud on top?!). Well, in that case I guess I might (...) (24 years ago, 2-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Best-Lock is 20LDU's tall, while LEGO is the "correct" 24LDU's tall. That means, of course, that six Best-Lock bricks are as tall as five LEGO bricks, so you can cheat a little. Also, Best-Lock has a few 120LDU wall pieces that can be (...) (24 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Actually, gods exsisted long before your "God" who, when you think about it, stole the term. I personally don't think lego has anything to worry about. I mean, Megabloks? I wouldn't be all that scared if was them. (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.tx, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Overall, the rods and bars of MegaBloks are the same 8LDU diameter as LEGO rods, likely because Ritvik was smart enough to make its figures' hands the same grip size as LEGO minifigs, thereby creating at least a small demand for MegaBloks (...)

(...) Lego/Legos creates brand dilution too, particularly in the usage "I bought these MegaBlok legos because they were cheaper, and fit with other legos." Think about God/gods.
