"Worldwide Number 1 for Military Construction Bricks" doesn't sound exactly
where I want to be going. :)

They do have some interesting set designs.

But from what I've heard, they suffer from quality issues.

I saw some of these for the first time at a Target last weekend.

You can open the lid of the box and look inside to see the pieces.  They
don't even look as if they would be LEGO compatible, although they claim
to work with other building bricks.  Something about the studs looked wrong -
they looked too high.

Could have been my imagination, and perhaps they are compatible, but they
looked CHEEEEEEEAP and NAAAAAASTY.

Pity -- I've been looking at the Best Lock web site for a long time
with hopeful expectations.
