		Re: Clone brand quality
(...) The infamous Chinese "Bricks" company has made several knock-offs of LEGO sets, and have lost several legal cases, but they also make their own legal military sets, with excellent designs and pretty high quality bricks, matching the MB quality (...)

		Shifty, Coko found in Canada
I found Shifty and Coko sets at a dollar store here in Canada: (URL) wonder if TLC would be interested in knowing this, since the sets are such blatant rip-offs. I have read that there isn't much TLC can do about copyright violations occurring in (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.dear-lego)

		Shifty set
Hi! In a local shop I noticed a Shifty set, a copy of Lego 1761: (URL) bought it, just to see what it was, and found: The box is a copy, with the right colours, and the error on the box - there are by some reason two models of this one. The (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general)

		Re: Brick Century Military
(...) From what Ben's Bricks wrote about the cost of custom molds, a Chinese contact seems to be the easier and cheaper route. Isn't Oxford the new Shifty? I don't think the bricks aren't protected by copyright. Didn't the Hong Kong court rule that? (...) (20 years ago, 8-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

		Re: Shifty set

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)

		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: 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)

		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 (...)
