(...) These are WAY cooler than I think most people realize. Paul Maxwell just sent me these pics -- (URL) forgive the cross posting, I just thought some castleheads would dig these too.

(...) I saw the foozball set at Costco last week...since then, I've been contemplating how to make a LEGO Soccer foozball game myself. 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 (...)

(...) I'm thinking along the lines of the wolf/dragon/lion heads and the big torso parts and helmets on the warriors, ya' know? (Plus the strange, almost Barbie doll scale...) Useless for most other applications...same with the larger car (...) (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)

(...) Well, to be honest, I've only seen the Gladiator and Knight, and not the Ninja, so I can't make guarantees of the contents of that set.
