  Re: What an ambulance!
 
(...) So, who feels brave enough to tell Lego? Remember, all that time Cobi is sitting on those shelves, Lego is losing revenue. Those Lego lawyers could have Cobi out of business in no time, but I supose Cobi would just move to another part of the (...)

  Re: What an ambulance!
 
(...) There may be hope... Take a look at the US 1999 S@H summer catalogue. On page 23, set #M100. It is a play mat that you can assemble from six large foam pieces. Pictured on the upper right corner is a hospital that has never been released by (...) (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general, lugnet.faq, lugnet.town)
 
  Re: What an ambulance!
 
(...) It's been years since TLC has made a hospital. Wonder if we could expect one next year?... (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)
 
  Re: What an ambulance!
 
(...) Y'know what though, Daniel, S@H still has an accesories set with three of those (one in each of the hair colors)... it's <set:5393>. It should still be available (it was last time I checked). g'luck, -Shiri XFUT lugnet.build.minifigs (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general, lugnet.faq, lugnet.build.minifigs)
 
  Re: What an ambulance!
 
(...) Yeah. I tell ya what, if those hairpieces fit a Lego minifig, I would buy that set. That has the awesome old-style hairpiece that was in old Town and Castle sets. -dead (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)

  Re: What an ambulance!
 
(...) Thzey even have a copy of DUPLO. Check this link: (URL) I suppose those sets are much cheaper as real LEGO and thus are bought by the people. Poland is a rather poor country, compared to western Europe and the USA..... And since building with (...) (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)
 
  Re: What an ambulance!
 
(...) Yeah, what about them? They look very much inspired by TLC's flowers, but there are clear differences. /Tore (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)
 
  Re: What an ambulance!
 
Here's a similar example of blatant copying by a company in china that I found. Every piece is a copy of a LEGO piece, they even copied the instructions and the box. The only thing is that they don't fit each other very well. (URL) J. Trobaugh North (...) (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)
 
  Re: What an ambulance!
 
I noticed too. BUT...like I said in my other posting: What about those clear minifig style heads that are used as the overhead flashing lights on the larger ambulance set. Seriously...I think they have their own molds that were designed using (...) (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)

  Re: What an ambulance!
 
My god. Someone has, no, NEEDS to be sued for this! I think they just take Lego pieces, scratch off the Lego logo, repaint them, and stick them in their 'own' sets!!

  Re: What an ambulance!
 
(...) Most of it seems to be a clear copy of LEGO. The headlights, and most of the basic pieces, have a very big similarity to LEGO. It does seem that they're violating a few trademark laws. (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)

  Re: hackin the faq
 
I'm plugging along with this project; I'm a little surprised that I've generated no feedback.

(...) I don't even get that, I don't think. (I work in GBP). Most of the time I can't buy new lego, so I just have to make do with what I've got, which in a way enhaces creativity. On the other hand, it means I can't get as much Lego, with is a (...) (24 years ago, 8-Oct-00, to lugnet.faq)
 
  Re: Am I the only one ?.........
 
(...) Thankyou so much for posting. I'm fourteen, but I never said it in case no-one else was. I guess what defines us from other people our age who play with Lego is we look at it from an adult point of view, if you see what I mean. For example, (...) (24 years ago, 8-Oct-00, to lugnet.faq)
