Man, talk about rip off! But if they are made in China, it is understandable. China has grossly violated numerous international copy-right laws, and this is no exception. Stupid Chi-Com clone bricks! Scott Sanburn (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) Apart from the printing, and the copy-right issues, how were the elements themselves? Did they compare in quality to Mega Bloks, or Best-Lock? Can you actually use them well with LEGO elements? I'd be very interested to see some of these, or (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I was glancing thru a dollar-shop in lower-mainland British Columbia, Canada, a couple days ago when I saw some small LEGO sets for sale, the kind that usually go for $4 or $5 US. They were being sold for only $1 a piece; they had a set of a couple (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

It supposedly contains instructions to 5 different models which can be built at once! (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Pneumatic compatible parts elsewhere might not cost less. Today, tubing cost me US$0.64/foot from a hobby shop. A set of 4 T couplers cost $2.75. The Lego USA Shop-at-Home service pack # 5109 Pneumatic Tubing costs $3.25. It includes 5.17 feet of (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
