		Re: Coko Bricks sighting in Sweden
(...) quality Coko bricks of a few years ago or the current not-so-good quality Shifty/Coko bricks? Dave! (22 years ago, 21-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.loc.se)

		Jason does Brisbane
I finally got to meet Jason King from Rockhampton, during his visit to Brisbane this weekend. We did the Lego Shopping Tour Of Brisbane [as trademarked by Richie Dulin], consisting of the CBD and Garden City, covering Myer, DJs, Target, Kmart, BigW, (...)

		Re: Brad J Brickfest 2002 Keynote Speech synopsis

I am going to guess that very few people imagined (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

		Re: How good does it have to be?
(...) Good enough to stick together reliably. My definition of reliable is that if I push a model partly off the edge of the table, it shouldn't crumble and fall apart from its own weight, even if it's not completed. (that happened to me with the MB (...) (22 years ago, 11-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

		Re: Coko Bricks sighting in Sweden
(...) The Coko sets that I own are of near-LEGO-quality ABS and, along with Tyco, probably rate among the "best" of the clone brands. Recently there's been speculation that the current Coko sets might be similar to the awful Shifty brand knockoffs (...) (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

		South African Shopper's Report
[nb: I've set FU->.market.shopping, but set it as you will based upon your point of order.] Hi, everyone. It's time for your South African Shopper's Report! Today I visited several venues in Cape Town. There are no major toy chains here as they're (...) (22 years ago, 4-Dec-02, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.za, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

		Re: Wal*Mart truck clone!

The truck is a ten-wheeled semi with a turntable mounting. The brick quality is quite good (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

		Shifty Brand Hits North America
I was out checking the lego situation in Metrotown, when I decided to look at the Dollar Store. I noticed some model cars in the front and wanted to see them. Upon my entrance to the Toy aisle, I immediately look at a lower shelf and see Pirate (...) (22 years ago, 1-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.loc.ca.bc.van)

		Re: Shifty Brand Hits North America
I've seen these knock-off sets at various times in Ontario. They turned up a couple of years ago at Home hardware, but disappeared almost as quickly as they appeared. I picked up an assortment at a dollar store in guelph last spring as well. As (...) (22 years ago, 2-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.loc.ca.bc.van)

		Re: Art Asylum Mini-Mates blocks

It seems unlikely to me that LEGO would provide true-LEGO bricks without requiring a clear indication on the packaging, but I can't imagine, given TLG's successful litigation against Coko/Shifty, that TLG would allow a (...)

		Re: Why Lego acts unfairly (was Re: New Product Announcement - 10152)
(...) Having flirted with the Dark Side on occasion, I would have to say that MB is never as good as Lego, but I have found its Pro-Builder sets to be acceptable and its Castle sets awful in terms of brick interconnecting. I also used to find their (...) (20 years ago, 28-May-04, to lugnet.loc.au)

		Custom Colored Parts (not new molds)
In seeing many LCad models calling upon parts in either custom or nonproduction colors, I wonder if anyone has looked toward the third party market. I don't think a 4x4 wing in Green and Tan would warrant the effort and expense of the thousands of (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jul-04, to lugnet.build)

Heck even Lego sued because they were (kinda still are) too close too Lego. The fitup is better than (...) (20 years ago, 31-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.color, FTX)

		Re: Clone Parts (and Color ) Inventories
(...) Hi Ed, To tell you the truth, as clone goes, I only know MB and Tyco (and a handful of non-compatible brands, like Tente, etc). Tyco did have a very nice fitup (0). MB's is not so good, but it is improving. Now (1) the large round holes in the (...) (20 years ago, 1-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.color, FTX)

		Re: Profanity again
(...) Well, it's only my opinion, but I'd suggest that a "true" clone brand is based on the studs-and-tubes system and is able to maintain reasonable clutch power with LEGO bricks and plates. I used to consider the 3:1 plate:brick height ratio to be (...) (20 years ago, 14-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Hi!

I can't find any other current Shifty auctions, so maybe Ebay is on the lookout for the ersatz brand. (...) It (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general)

		Re: Brick Century Military
(...) I don't have any Megblocks and only one of the John Deere Ertle/ Best Block sets. No comparison to Shifty. Shifty is Lego as far as the bricks are concerned. The axles and wheels are the weak link, not Lego at all. Look up the 1999 / 2000 Hong (...) (20 years ago, 8-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
