Arrgh! Nothing more annoying than cheap knowkoffs, especially of Castle Sets.
Can anyone tell me exactly why china (or other asian countries for that matter)
don't enforce copyright laws?
It's like this, what If you took the harry potter of dragon riders of
pern, changed a few words, added a few paragraphs, and released it as
your own? I think this to be an insult to the original artists and
creators that worked hard long hours to come up with these aspects,
and then a bunch of idiots just take a few things, change them and get
easy profit. My word...
Just to be reaffirming, I don't support plagiarism or anything of
that sort, so I don't think I will even think of buying these...
(they probably won't even fit with normal lego bricks anyhow:)
Just my two btickz...
