Ah, the Clone Crap Anthem...
I've purchased lots on Ebay that were alleged to be entirely one brand of clone
but which turned out to contain several brands in a mix. I've likewise
purchased lots that were listed as complete clone-brand sets but which included
(disappointingly) LEGO parts substituting for missing clone elements.
Rather than throw your serendipitous clones in the trash, why not hang onto
them until you you accumulate a handful, then donate them to Goodwill or sell
them on Ebay?
Dave!
