Apart from LEGO are there any known issues where bricks have been made by
other companies with the LEGO mark/logo on but not looking quite the same
(smaller/different text)?
The reason I ask is that I have been buying LEGO by the kilo+ on Ebay and
have been getting a few bricks that at a quick glance look like LEGO bricks.
Upon close inspection these bricks have a different style logo and the
plastic seems different and the bricks are warped (base of brick does not
sit flat).
Or are these bricks just older type bricks from a time with different
plastics and older manufacturing skills/equipment?
Many thanks.
Gary.
