It’s mostly by a Korean named “painkiller” who takes very good close-up shots
of the three brands.
Go to “toy pix” then to review and pix of Lego” Except for the brand name,
the titles for the Oxford and Cobi (titled “ib” ) are in Korean, but it’s well
worth the time to look through the 75 pages (on 6 sub pages), as he has stuff
from their town, military, police, castle, historic East Asian, and other
lines.
The Oxford stuff is just so cool. It is in the late 80’s LEGO style. He
shows interiors, components, and minifigs from each set. and a few places he
shows comparisons between the 3 different brands. Now that some of the Oxford
stuff is under license to cobi/bestlok and being sold as Just Kidz at Kmart, I
may finally get my wish to buy Oxford affordably!
If Oxford was sold in the USA, it would defeinately get a portion of my brik
budget. It really is the only clone brik that seems to capture the LEGO
design asthetic.

Thanks for linking to these, Karl. The Oxford Panmunjeom set is interesting (and
accurate!):
Are there any pictures of the K-Mart Oxford stuff anywhere?
