Does anyone know any history on the "Tyco building sets"? They seemed to be
Lego's biggest "copycat" in the 80's. You can still see these on eBay
sometimes, especially a brick phone they made. Were they ever sued by Lego
for copyright infringement? Were they forced to cease and desist? They
seemed like a straight copy, even some of there colors were the same as
Lego. I'm just curious, so if anyone knows anything please post. Thanks.
