| There has been at least one occasion in the past where no new castle sets were issued in a year. I know for a fact that it happened in 1991-- exactly 10 years ago. (btw, 1476 does not count as a castle set). And while I too am disappointed and can't (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle)

TLC is not listening to us, and if the clone companies are (and I've heard rumors) it won't be long 'til many (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) Based on my experiences, you need to go to the Toy Works or Toy Liquidators, not to the regular KB stores. I have a couple of extra 4819 (that's the one with the shield, right? - one in sealed box, one in opened box but unopened polybags) (...) (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle)

It raises doubts in my mind if they are targeting the North American market. (...) (24 years ago, 14-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

| I'm optimistic about GetTheToys, but I think that its mainly because I just want their site to work so badly (I'm saving up for a big purchase). However, despite all my plugging for Bestlock, I have never actually ordered from GetTheToys, and I too (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

The tooling on the bricks are not as precise as Lego bricks, so they don't go together and stay (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
