(...) At my TRU it's $39.99, and it's 985 pieces including a good number of grey 2x4 bricks, grey 1x8 bricks, 50 grey 2x2 tiles, about 25 grey 2x1 inverse slopes, and a bunch of chrome elements. I bought one last night and I'm almost completely (...) (23 years ago, 16-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I am sorry to hear that the Tolkien family are having trouble. Tolkien himself would have greatly disapproved of all of the toy sets. He liked the images generated by his work to reside in the minds of his readers, not by the forced domination (...) (23 years ago, 15-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

| | Also new: MegaBloks Mustang
|
|
Also seen at TRU: a MegaBloks Mustang P-51 (WWII-era fighter plane). From a quick perusal of the box, it looks like one of the best Pro Builder sets yet. 900-some pieces. I didn't check the price; I'd guess around $30. It's depressing that I've said (...) (23 years ago, 14-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I just realized how long it's been since I've been anywhere near one of your posts, Pete. :D I would imagine, however, that MB has done whatever it can to ramp up production of these military sets--primarily, I'd gather, because they're (...)

Wow. I was excited to see this, but, it looks yucky. The Buckleberry ferry set has neat lanterns, if they detach. I would try these out to see if the details can be reusable. But: these sets have no soul. They don't even have three walls! FYI, the (...) (23 years ago, 13-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) 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)

(...) 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!
