The Coko sets that I own are of near-LEGO-quality ABS and, along with
Tyco, probably rate among the "best" of the clone brands. Recently there's
been speculation that the current Coko sets might be similar to the awful
Shifty brand knockoffs we've seen previously.
So blow them to smithereens if you must, but try to take note of the
plastic quality first!
