Great! I've seen the "copies", they look awful. The colours bleak and looks
sick and
the individual fit of the pieces seems to be far out. If I tried to lift one
of the models
I am sure it would totally collapse.

In December last year LEGO Company won a lawsuit at The Beijing High • People's
Court against the Chinese producer of the Coko products. The court stated • that
Coko had to hand over the moulds to the court for destruction. The company • also
had to publish an official apology in a national newspaper and pay • compensation
to LEGO Company. "

One can but wonder if those moulds really were destroyed or if the company
owner
just gave them to his nephew to continue the production. Maybe they already
had
produced so many pieces they felt the need to sell the sets to some less
knowing
company. No wonder Biltema came along. Since Sweden is so far from Denmark
I presume they thought it safe to sell the sets here in Scandinavia. Silly
sods. :)

All give praise to the real Brick! ;)
