Set: #51518 Patriot Missile (Military) 750 pcs, 319 SEK (~US$ 32.00) @
Biltema, Sweden.

Mechanic compability: Very good, except the stupid measurements of the
hollow studs (Type 2). The radius of the hole is only 3 LDU instead of 4!
Plates are 1/3 of brick height, just like TLG.

Color compability: Just above acceptable. A little pale, as most clones are.

New cool colors: Very disappointing. The military green seen on the box does
not match actual color of parts which is very, very close to black.

Wheels: OK - if you can accept hard plastics instead of rubber.

Minifigs: Poor! Too little friction in knees and hip joints makes them
unable to stand upright. TLG heads fit on Coko figs. Coko heads rest on TLG
figs but tend to fall off.

Overall: Plates and bricks are made with perfect precition, but moving parts
like minifig joints, turntables, and wheels are sloppy designed. Despite all
minuses, the low cost makes it well worth the price.
