(...) This sounds very cool Dave -- if you can bring it along to the next Studfest I may have to take it off your hands. And it's not a rip-off, it's a compatible building system, okay! --DaveL (poor chess player, big chess fan) (23 years ago, 22-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Okay, educate me. These sets look good. But, is Tente compatible with Lego, or is it a stand-alone product? What about quality? Your opinions are appreciated.

We can only hope that TLC is aware of this and also aware of the popularity of mecha. Right now they seem to be two years behind the times with the Pokemon-ish Bionicle-collect-the...g-machine. Dang it. ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (23 years ago, 4-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
