I'm glad that they sensibly stuck with Cobi's existing proportions. (...) I'm very fond of (...) (21 years ago, 20-Apr-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

I did not buy any so I don't know if the pieces are of the 'old' Best-Lock proportions, or more like Lego. From the (...) (21 years ago, 19-Apr-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
