  Re: Careful what you wish for: clone LOTR blocks sighted
 
(...) Not only do I think that someone should build a mini-fig version(s), but also if the people are right, and the sets are substandard, then design a legoized LotR with a more realistic set-up. Benjamin Medinets (23 years ago, 13-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.cad)

(...) I think if 'they' have provided the instructions to thier models then we should make use of them somehow. Ok. Hands up anyone who thinks building a mini-fig version in ML-Cad will cause problems? Alex (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: WTB: Legend Lion's Kingdom, and Griffon's Hide Out MISB
 
(...) Don't know yet, it hasn't arrived. I was slow as molasses paying the bill so it's my fault really... Thanks for the heads up, this is the last one I'll need. =) -- hop-Frog (23 years ago, 13-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Here's another one (on which I once again won't be bidding): (URL) Also not mint, I'm afraid. How'd the last one turn out? Dave! (23 years ago, 13-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Careful what you wish for: clone LOTR blocks sighted
 
(...) The site's been down for a few months, so I don't think it's a response to any recent developments. I never noticed Block-Men to be a particularly brick seller; it seems likely that a tepid market was sufficient to kill the product line. Dave!

  Tubs [was: Re: How about "Technic Tubs" ???...???]
 
(...) Last I saw my local Wal-Mart still had a fair number of Mega Bloks tubs, and even more identical tubs manufactured by Ritvik but sold under the house brand name "Kid Connection". (And yes, they clearanced their 3033s months ago.) I thought (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Hmmm, As a result of sensitvity to recent news events, or for other reasons? (...) Shame they won't be over here in the UK... :-( (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Careful what you wish for: clone LOTR blocks sighted
 
(...) Dig deeper... they have posted .pdfs of their instructions!!! Derezzed so that you couldn't publish them as your own, of course. But this is pretty amazing, I think. Brickshelf management team: Call your lawyer. :-) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Careful what you wish for: clone LOTR blocks sighted
 
(...) The Block-Men site no longer exists, and I have a sense that the manufacturer dropped the product line. There's no indication on the website at (URL) that Block-Men are still made. Browsing the instructions online, I notice that the 8x16 (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Thanks for the link--my watchful web filters here at work weren't letting me go to www.playmates.com, and I didn't know where else to look! Dave! (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
