Best-Lock isn’t quite a full-blown clone because the bricks don’t follow
the same proportions as LEGO bricks, whereas MEGABLOKS (a true clone, if
you will) does use the same dimensions. For example the proportions of a
LEGO 2x4 brick (excluding the studs) are 3x5x10 (height x depth x length),
while Best-Lock is 1x2x4 (just like the monolith, now that I think about
it. Hmm...)
|
I think the monolith is 1x4x9(1), Dave!
I think you’re endangering the mission when you post bad information, Dave!
I think you should lie down and take a stress tab, Dave!
|
Hey, I didn’t specify which monolith I was citing.
|
Please demonstrate that, without any specific reference, it is reasonable to
assume ANY OTHER monolith. That is, provide a cite to some other monolith
just as, or more deeply, embedded in popular culture. :-)
|
I think it will be easier for me to prove that 2 is a perfect square...

Now that you mention it, though, Best-Lock bricks and tiles allow you to
build to the precise proportions of Clarke’s Monolith, 20 LDraw Units deep
by 80 units wide by 180 units tall. Groovy.
|
I believe you can do that in LEGO too, although you may have to go out
somewhat larger to get the proportions right.
|
I think that’s correct, but I was too busy back-pedalling to mention it.
Dave!
