I was in Walmart Friday night and as I was just about to leave the Lego aisle when I notoced a new Mega Bloks set up on the top of the shelf. The box hadn't been priced yet but scaned at $19.97. The set is #9358 Gladiator & Lion. It comes with 2 (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Mega Blok gladiator sounds pretty cool. I have some of the knights and vikings. $20.00 sounds a little steep to get one mini--fig, though. I don't have much interest in the "Blok Bots." I also have knock off minifigs from Tyco (red and blue, (...) (23 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Initially, I didn't either, but they've gradually won me over. On the whole, they're superior (IMO) to any mech-like LEGO model in recent memory. The Gladiator/Lion set is particularly cool. I'm quite surprised to learn of your fondness for (...) (23 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Well, I'm a bit of an army builder, so that skews my thinking. (...) I used to have huge castle-era battles against my friends, so it was good to have some unique weapons to set my troops apart. Tyco made a cool double-bladed battleaxe that (...)

(...) What is your favorite non-lego sword? The mega block sword is elegant looking, with its long, thin blade and ornate halberd. I like the Laramie short n' shiny sword as well. But my favorite is the silver two handed Tyco sword with the huge, (...) (23 years ago, 28-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

The mechs, talking trucks and other stuff don't really interest me though...folks complain about junioization in (...) (23 years ago, 28-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) These cars are much cooler than I'd expected. At first glance, they seemed to be wholy constructed of SPUD-ish pieces, but in fact the set I bought for $12.99 had around 130 pieces, including about a dozen chromed elements and new monster (...)

(...) Only partially true! The body panels are indeed single pieces, but the sets include around 130 pieces (bricks, etc.) at a price point very favorable as compared to LEGO. Dave! (23 years ago, 28-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Oh. I see your point about the helmets, though there aren't really any torso parts as such (other than turntables with friction). I don't mind the scale, since they're intended as mech-style robot vehicles rather than action figures, but that (...) (23 years ago, 28-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

The Gladiator's torso is made up of individual bricks, a crossbar for the "backbone" and shoulders, and a (...) (23 years ago, 28-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
