Anyone remember this Mega Blok series? bab53c 11-27-2005

Hello all,

I'm trying to find some information about a Mega Bloks line that was
around 1998. It was a alien space based series. The key set was a large
alien city complete with a "monorail" track around it (same track as
the Mega Bloks racing sets of the same time). There was also a very
large alien space battlecruiser as well as a smaller space ship any
some other sets.

Does this series ring a bell to anyone? Any idea what the actual name
is? I've been trying to track it down on e-bay, google, everywhere, but
with no luck.

-Edward

Hi there!

The series you're thinking of is the "Planetoids" product line, which
debuted in 1997 and ultimately featured only seven sets. The alien
city was the "LX-900 City," set #9300. It had 1000 pieces and 7
minifigs.

That was, in fact, the last set of the series that I was able to
aqcuire, and I picked it up in 2000. I haven't seen one on retail
shelves since that time. Sets still pop up on eBay from time to time
at varying prices.

You might be interested in visiting a relatively new site especially
for fans of Mega Bloks:
http://bloks.hyperboards.com/
Membership is small so far, but if you have other Mega Bloks questions,
then that's a great place to ask it.

You're also welcome to email me for more detail.

Dave!
