(...) Wow--thanks for the insight. I had gotten as far as "I think it's some kind of gun" when I ran out of military knowledge. I'm eager to receive this item; once it arrives from Hong Kong I'll post a review with pictures. Thanks again, Dave! (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) 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 (...) (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I saw these at Target today, I thought I'd mention them here. They are little display boxes for Hot Wheel sized cars, the top and bottom are studded so you can stack 'em. Neat idea.

Well now I have an Elgo Skyline. Thanks, Ray. I'm intrigued by 3 alien bricks found in the Elgo--can anyone identify these? They are white, 1" by 0.5", height 0.5", with two square studs. Walls are nominally 1/16" thick and the square studs are (...) (22 years ago, 2-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
