I've looked at it hard, and decided to pass. The painted and heavily
sculpted parts do look nice, but they don't look like LEGO. I also see
lots of nice things like this come from clone brands, but then the next
line goes in a different direction, so you get clashes of style. I also
really don't like those minifigs. I just don't like that unrealistic
overdone style which immediately makes me think of Games Workshop (the
painted miniatures in their materials look nice in a certain way, but
are very overdone and unrealistic in my mind).
I am somewhat intrigued by the base plates for use as islands in the
Pirate Game, but I've just more and more decided that most clones just
aren't worth it. If Tyco was still making brick, I would probably buy
their stuff since it didn't depend on such non-LEGO-like style, and used
a very similar quality plastic.
