  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: Brick Century Military
 
(...) I wasn't sure if Shifty / Brick / .. became Oxford. I think I have an old post that listed a source for buying new Oxford sets, but they work out the same or higher priced than real Lego. Nice info on Korean Lego schools. The eBay contact I (...) (20 years ago, 8-Dec-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

  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 (...)

(...) Thanks for the clarification--I only have one "Brick" Castle set, and it included clearly pirated as well as clearly original elements. I don't own any "Shifty," but I concur with your assessment. (...) Tyco is of excellent quality, and some (...) (18 years ago, 6-Jul-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

  Re: PodBrix???

  Powco - a new Chinese clone?
 
I was in Mr Toys Toyworld at Indooroopilly today. Nothing incredibly exciting there. A bit of this and that. But I did notice what looks like a new Chinese clone brand. I did not have my reading glasses with me (sign of age!) but the brandname (...) (17 years ago, 15-Sep-07, to lugnet.loc.au)

Even with these scans I remain skeptical. Until the orginal poster comes through with more specific info about the purchase, I withhold judgment. I realize that a hoax is rather far-fetched, but why are we being so coy? Most people give plenty (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
