Yeah, that's a strange brand. I nabbed one of these sets on Ebay a few months
ago, and some parts are obviously direct copies of LEGO elements, while other
parts are different and original. Overall the quality is not as dreadful as one
might think, and there are some cool bits to be had, but it's definitely a
lesser imitation of LEGO, rather than a complementary, compabible brand.
