| | LEGO Minitalia... the Italian Connection...
|
| Minitalia was recently discussed on Bricklink... and there is still a lot known about the reason for its' existence...

| | LEGO OLO... the Japanese Connection....

| Unlike Italy, where politics played an important part in the creation of a LEGO "clone"... in Japan it was economic and cultural forces that produced another LEGO "flavor" called OLO... Unlike in Italy, where Minitalia started out as a locally (...) (11 years ago, 2-Jul-13, to lugnet.general)

| | PRIMA... the Swedish LEGO Connection...
|
| Unlike Italy's MINITALIA, and Japan's OLO, PRIMA was a LEGO product that appears to have NOT been produced by TLG. It appears that a Swedish LEGO plastics producer by the name of GEAS KONSTHARTS of Gislaved Sweden (in south Central Sweden) produced (...) (11 years ago, 4-Jul-13, to lugnet.general)

| (...) Not really answering your question, but for the longest time I had no idea what this piece looked like. Even the picture on Peeron was a LDRAW picture, and I still couldn't imagine its shape!
