Well, I just bought the Battle at Weathertop set, and I do believe I'll be
going back to get the Buckleberry Ferry set, the bricks really aren't that bad,
and they have some features that Lego doesn't give us... though I wish they
would.... the baseplates are one thing you didn't mention, they are a plate
thick AND connect to other things on the bottom!!!  at least around the edges,
though who really needs more than that, when building floors??

I really feel lego needs to get their head outta their butt, or more of my
money is going to go to clones :(
